Episode 18: Outreach Part 2

In our last episode our faculty spent time discussing the biblical backdrop to the question of being "outward-facing,", and they started talking about this idea of “contextualization” at the end. What a great thing to explore a little bit before looking more concretely at how pastors, elders, and church leaders can take concrete steps in helping churches to have this “outward” focus. First of all: “contextualization.” It’s a word that we can hear a lot, it can sometimes be a buzz word, and yet it’s a word that has some real value for what we’re thinking about here. Joining once again around the table are Rev. Andrew Compton, Dr. J. Mark Beach, and Dr. Alan Strange.
