Episode notes
Conversion And Call To Ministry
- Shane Pruitt became a Christian at 21 and entered Bible college after his pastor encouraged him to go.
- Professors and a pastor discipled him, leading to a call to preach and long-term ministry service.
Culture Crafts Its Own Jesus
- Culture now often accepts a comfortable, opinion-shaped Jesus while rejecting Scripture.
- That produces idols and demands reclaiming the Jesus presented in the four Gospels.
Run An Eight-Week Study On Jesus
- Use the Not My Jesus eight-session Bible study in sermons, small groups, and families to rediscover Jesus.
- Provide daily devotions and free session videos included with each booklet to aid teaching.
