Do you ever find talking about Jesus or your faith uncomfortable or challenging? Perhaps you find yourself doubting how to talk about being a Christian while trying to avoid stereotypes or judgments from others. With great hope, I invite you to join us for Redeemer West Side’s fall conference, “Talking About Jesus Today.” Our goal for this conference is to help you grow in confidence in talking with others about Jesus and the hope that is found only in him.
This conference will combine teaching, discussion, and practical exercises, all designed to equip you to winsomely share your faith with your friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors.
I’m thrilled that we’ll have two guest speakers joining us for this conference:
Dr. Daniel Strange from the UK is one of my favorite writers and speakers who focuses on engaging culture and sharing our faith. Dr. Strange will explore the big questions we face in our culture today—and how Jesus is the best and most fulfilling answer.
Jennifer Chan—a New Yorker and Redeemer West Sider—has a passion for Jesus and sharing her faith that’s contagious. I’ve learned from Jen about how the best evangelism is always an inevitable overflow from someone who simply loves Jesus. Jen will show us that as you abide in Jesus, talking about him to others will be both joyful and irresistible, enabling you to live and speak good news in everyday life.
As a church, we want to see more people throughout our city come to know, love, and trust the living God. I hope you can join us for our fall conference as we seek to talk about Jesus today.
With hope,
Pastor Bijan
