What do you do when making disciples is hard? I mean, you can’t just give up, can you? After all, making disciples is literally what the Lord Jesus commissioned us to do, as recorded in Matthew 28:18-20. This is what we’re talking about in today’s episode of the Think Podcast with Joel Settecase.

So what happens when the society becomes divided, the culture divisive, or the civil government oppressive? Do you throw in the towel and wait for things to get easier? Or, do you get smarter and invent new ways to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

My friends, this episode is going to open your eyes to a whole new way of thinking about how to make disciples, even in places where it is extraordinarily challenging to do so. You’re going to hear from a Christian evangelist, pastor, ministry director and missionary who has decades of experience with making disciples in hard places.

Specifically, you’ll find out…

Dave’s incredible story of bringing the Gospel to Eastern Europe during communist rule, and how God gave him and his team wisdom to reach the Hungarian people with the gospel.
All about Youth At The Threshold of Life, the Christian sex education curriculum(!) that became a movement of Gospel ministry.
The current need for innovation among Christians in the Western world.
Dave’s foundational principles for thinking about the Great Commission today, including: (1) Everyone is on a spiritual journey, (2) God is already at work in their lives, and (3) God wants to use you.
About “Story of the Soul” and other innovative methods blending culture and the Christian message to reach contemporary society.
Of all the societies in which Dave has ministered, which one is the “hardest soil.” This will shock you..
How to get smarter, as things seem to get harder for Christians.
Much more.
