    <description>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.</description>

      <itunes:summary>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.</itunes:summary>
