In this special season of Everyday Ministry, we’re bringing you key takeaways from Evangelize 2024! Hosts Marty Sweeney and Lindsey Yeagley discuss practical ways to raise the evangelistic temperature in our churches. Instead of just talking about evangelism, how do we take action?

In this final episode, we explore concrete steps you can take: ✅ Pray with purpose – New Testament prayers focus on believers having boldness, not just on non-believers coming to faith. Try the Two for Two challenge: pray for 2 non-Christian friends for 2 minutes daily. ✅ Scatter gospel seeds – Keep evangelistic resources (books, booklets, Gospels of Mark/John) on hand and challenge yourself to give them away. ✅ Create an evangelistic funnel – A repeatable, warm, gospel-focused event where non-Christians hear the gospel clearly and are invited to respond. Where does this happen in your church? ✅ Train for clarity – Many Christians struggle to articulate the gospel. Resources like Two Ways to Live and Learn the Gospel help us explain our faith with confidence. ✅ Evangelize together – Evangelism isn’t a solo effort. How can your church create a culture where sharing Jesus is natural and expected?

We also discuss how patience, intentionality, and persistence play a role in long-term evangelistic impact. Plus, hear about an exciting new evangelism course by Dave Jensen, coming in 2025!
