People are exploring faith more online but how can we reduce the barriers for people coming to faith and disciple them well?
In this Q&A episode, Siân and Andrew tackle some big questions that church leaders face today, from the gap between online curiosity about faith and in-person church engagement, to helping people trust that the Bible is reliable.
We cover:
How podcast culture has led to more people exploring faith online before stepping into a church
How to disciple new believers who have preconceived ideas from their online exploration
How churches can bridge the gap between online exploration and in-person attendance
The most common questions people have about the Bible
How to navigate questions about the Bible's accuracy and reliability
Practical tips for both small group discipleship and personal devotion, with a framework for how to approach Bible reading
If you're a leader looking for ways to help people come to faith, we hope this discussion will enable you to explain how the Bible is trustworthy and give you some ideas as to how you can disciple and lead others.
This episode will encourage you to build confidence in the reliability of the Bible in your congregation or small group, and to equip your community to share that confidence and point people to Jesus.
