027 Reaching Muslim Neighbors with the Gospel Dec 10, 2019

Show notes

Evangelism can seem daunting enough. But when you throw in the fact that the nations are coming to us in the United States in record numbers, if we’re honest, it can add more layers of discomfort.

In this episode, Micah Fries, pastor of Brainerd Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, joins hosts Johnny Hunt and Kevin Ezell to share his specific passion and expertise for reaching Muslims with the gospel. Fries doesn’t sidestep the innate fears many of us bring into the prospect of having gospel conversations with Muslims, but he also gives practical ways churches and individuals can overcome those fears and see evangelistic fruit.

Pitman returns as a guest with hosts Johnny Hunt and Kevin Ezell to share some of the methods he and his staff have used to help mobilize church members to engage Las Vegas with the gospel and the love of Christ.

024 Planting to Multiply Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

Church planting is gathering for worship. It’s fellowship with believers. But planting churches that multiply requires so much more – namely an intentional and relentless evangelism strategy. Few Southern Baptist church planters can testify to the multiplying power of an evangelizing church plant like Vance Pitman, senior pastor of Hope Church in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Pitman joins hosts Johnny Hunt and Kevin Ezell to talk about how pastors and church planters with the heart of a missionary can lead their churches to transform cities by advancing God’s Kingdom.

023 Connecting Evangelism and Discipleship Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Many things that happen in our churches for the cause of Christ seem to just happen. We call it inspiration, or simply the organic, unforced, sovereign work of the Holy Spirit. But when it comes to doing discipleship right, intentionality must be the rule.

In this episode of the Evangelism with Johnny Hunt podcast, hosts Johnny Hunt and Kevin Ezell chat with guest Robby Gallaty, senior pastor of Long Hollow Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee, about how intentionality and a strategic plan for evangelism and discipleship can take gospel sharing and soul winning to new levels in local churches.
