In this episode, I’m joined by pastor’s wife and friend Catherine Reynolds for a conversation about evangelism—what it is, why it matters, and how parents can model it in everyday life.

We discuss:

•  What evangelism actually is—and what it isn’t 
•  Why children need to see faith shared, not just taught 
•  Practical ways to involve kids in gospel conversations 
•  How children can become examples for adults in faith and witness 
•  Insights from The Great Dechurching and why intentional faith formation matters now more than ever 

Children are not only learners—they can often remind us what simple trust, bold faith, and joyful witness look like. As families seek to disciple the next generation, evangelism becomes more than an event—it becomes a way of life that children are invited into and shaped by.
