In this episode, we talk with Jordan Acer about being a minister outside of the church. Most Christians are not pastors or elders, but that doesn't mean that theyr'e off the hook as far as serving the church in meaningful ways. No matter what a person does professionally, that can be an extension of his or her ministry.

In this episode, we talk to Dr. David Gustafson on his newest book "Gospel witness through the ages" and discuss the history of evangelism. Each generation has its own challenges of making Jesus known to the world.
