ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How do we reach young adults effectively and why is it so important? What does it really mean to be unequally yoked….. what did Jesus say and do? Who is really doing the evangelising? Is it the Church Evangelist or the ordinary people in our congregations?
I spoke to Phil Knox Head of mission to young adults at the Evangelical Alliance https://www.eauk.org. Phil is a trained lawyer. He is also a performance poet (The Comeback), as well as a passionate evangelist!
It was a stimulating and exciting conversation, he exudes joy! He answered the above questions with grace and clarity and I think you are going to absolutely LOVE this episode!
