Trevor Goodling from Tomorrow Clubs International | The Quiet Work of Discipling Children

Chris Scotti from Three Sixteen Publishing | From Off-Limits to Open Hands: The Power of Scripture
Many ministry leaders believe their people need better apologetics, stronger programs, or more persuasive outreach strategies. But what if the real need is simpler? What if Scripture itself—faithfully read and faithfully shared—is still the most powerful evangelism tool in your church?
Ministry leaders carry a quiet concern.
You believe in the power of God’s Word. You teach it. You preach it. You defend it. Yet many in your congregation still feel unsure how to approach Scripture on their own. Some are intimidated. Others assume the Bible is for pastors, scholars, or “more mature” Christians.
And when it comes to evangelism, the anxiety grows. You wonder how to equip ordinary believers to share their faith without overwhelming them with technique, training, or pressure.
But what if we have overcomplicated something that was meant to be simple?
What if Scripture itself is still enough?
This article will help you rethink how to make Scripture accessible in your church, recover confidence in the Word’s power, and equip your people for simple, faithful evangelism.

Josh Spinks from I Am Second & E3 Partners | Beyond the White Chair: Josh Spinks on Obedience, Vulnerability, and Digital Discipleship
