Have You Heard Any Good News Lately? - Evangelism in a Postmodern World
So this Sunday at our First Sunday gathering I’m going to be speaking and sharing about this whole evangelism thing and what it might look like in a postmodern world. You might be wondering what I mean by “evangelism,” you might be wondering what I mean by “postmodern,” well if you want to find out then you’ll have to come out. The truth is that evangelism is one of those words that if you throw around enough in church settings it makes you look like a super Christian rock-star but when used in the “normal world” seems to come across like a swear word.
So what do we really mean by it? What should we mean by it? What does Jesus say about it? And how does it look in the world we live in today?

Higginson’s work, dealing with the interplay between entrepreneurship and Christianity, has been an inspiration and encouragement to many Christians in business—proving that conversations about seeing business as a calling are engaging businessmen and academics all over the world.
“Virtues and vices are being inverted. Greed is good and sin to win: the gauntlet has well and truly been thrown down. How can Christianity meet this challenge?”
