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.

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.
