Churches are not reaching people for Christ because they are not trying to. On today's episode, Thom and Sam discuss what church leaders are doing to recover evangelism.
The death of evangelism due to liberalism
The death of evangelism due to factionalism
The death of evangelism due to lack of intentionalism
The action of focused intentionality
The principle of "one thing"
The power of the pulpit
