Evangelism In A Post-COVID World
What effect will the COVID-19 Pandemic have on evangelism? The world is still bracing itself for fresh outbreaks, but it pays for Christians to have a glance over the horizon and see what this crisis is teaching us about the spread of the Gospel. City Bible Forum evangelist and author Sam Chan lays out a ‘playbook’ which considers the pieces which will enable you to share Jesus in a post-COVID world because things aren’t going back to the way they were. COVID-19 has left us scrambling as we’ve pivoted to online church, online small groups and online one to ones but what does post-COVID life look like? How will COVID affected our message, our posture and our practice? Drawn from an excellent series of City Bible Forum vidoes, this episode of Evangelism In A Post-COVID World aims to help you prepare yourself for the conversations to come.
Virtual Happy Hour
Sam Chan offers smart ways to connect online so that personal evangelism keeps going even when we can’t meet personally.
Community that survives despite Zoom
COVID-19 has changed the way small groups are done – opening us up to members who might be just screens on a table.
Evangelism In A Skeptical World
The non-Christians we speak to today are generally post-churched, post-reached and post-Christendom. If we’re going to tell our friends about Jesus, we’re going to need new approaches that take into account who they are, and the world they live in. This is a six-part super-podcast by Sam Chan, author of Evangelism In A Skeptical World and evangelist for City Bible Forum. Sam talks Mark Hadley through a collection of 15 minute evangelism life hacks that will help you give your friends the Gospel in a way they’re prepared to hear it.
Become their go-to chaplain
It’s not just telling them the Gospel. It’s about becoming your friend’s go-between for issues that sit between this world and the next. Right now you may still be looking at evangelism as a one-off event where we tell our friends the Gospel – that big event we build up to where we finally say what we need to say, right? But Sam Chan, City Bible Forum evangelist and author, says that conversation is usually the beginning, not the end of your journey with someone.
Tell a better story
Don’t lecture your friends with a dry Gospel presentation. Tell them how the penny dropped for you. You’ve been given the chance to tell someone the Gospel! Which means what exactly? You and many other Christians have grown up with six point plans and tricky diagrams that feel more like lectures than conversations. How do we begin telling people the greatest story ever told? City Bible Forum evangelist and author Sam Chan says it begins by answering the most asked question: how did you become a Christian?
Shut up and listen
Evangelising is not just about having the right words, it’s knowing when to say them. Listen – listen – listen! If you do, author and City Bible Forum evangelist Sam Chan says you stand a better chance of picking up on when someone is ready to ‘go further’ in a Gospel conversation.
Fatherhood with Brett Farrell
There are lots of manuals and guide books on Fatherhood, but let’s face it – if you’re like me, you’re not going read them. I thought the best way to become a better dad was to simply chat with other dads. They may not have all the answers but they do answer some of my questions. In this podcast, I chat with dads of faith at different points of Fatherhood who talk honestly about how they handle this thing called Fatherhood.
Faith and future with Matt Stedman
As part of Eternity News’ fatherhood collection, Matt Stedman, pastor and father of four, talks faith, fatherhood & future with Brett Farrell.

God is THE LIVING WATER
Join Anna in this episode as she chats about the difference between needs and wants and why we need Jesus as much as water, and how Jesus satisfies us more than water ever can!
God is LIGHT

Undeceptions
Every week on Undeceptions we’ll explore some aspect of life, faith, history, culture, or ethics that is either much misunderstood or mostly forgotten. With the help of people who know what they’re talking about, we’ll be trying to ‘undeceive ourselves’ and let the truth ‘out’.
Nine Eleven Single
It’s twenty years today since terrorists changed the landscape of New York forever, and along with it the hearts of countless Americans, and one Australian in particular.
The Terror Single
September 5 is the anniversary of the France’s Reign of Terror, a matter of months that help put centuries of religious violence into perspective.
Pro Life
We’re weighing up the arguments of the Pro Choice and Pro Life movements. Perhaps we can convince you that the case against abortion – the pro-life case – isn’t as dumb and mean as it’s often portrayed to be, and nor does it depend on religious dogma.
With All Due Respect
Less aggro, more conversation. Is it even possible to have a deep discussion without it descending into chaos? Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit think yes, and want to show the rest of us how to do it. There’s plenty of things they disagree on: free will, feminism, where you should send your kids to school and what type of church you should go to. But there are also plenty of other things that they have in common. They want to talk about all these things with conviction. But they also want the conversation to be constructive. Tune in to find out if that’s possible.
God and the ALP
It is often assumed that Christianity is aligned with politics on the right – by those outside and within the church. So Michael and Megan thought it’s time you met the Christian Left.
Preaching
In some circles preaching is the one thing you can’t skip at church. For others, it is an outdated experience. Which is it for you?
