Tim and Rick continue the discussion with Cas Monaco on sharing the gospel in modern times. In Part 2 of this discussion, Dr. Monaco shares findings from a 2016 survey on the climate of evangelism in America.

Tim and Rick speak with Cas Monaco on sharing the gospel in modern times. Dr. Monaco’s research identifies several behavioral changes Christians can make to help others listen to the gospel and make evangelism winsome.

After witnessing a comment section spiral out of control, an aunt’s unsavory Facebook post, or a coworker’s controversial Twitter feed, the online sphere may feel beyond repair. Is it reasonable to think that hope and peace can be achieved in today's online communication climate—where incivility often runs unchecked?
Tim is joined by Dr. Joy Qualls (Associate Dean of Communication Studies at Biola University) to discuss the pains and pressures of online incivility and whether we can be civil in online discourse.

Tim and Rick resume the discussion with Simon Greer, social entrepreneur and founder of Bridging the Gap, on his more recent project with students at Oberlin College and Spring Arbor University. Simon unpacks the skills and practices he has found beneficial in helping students find common ground.
