Mikel Collins introduces the remarkable journey of All Things All People (ATAP), a ministry in Rutherford County, North Carolina, dedicated to equipping Christians to spread the gospel to the least reached and darkest communities. We hear from Jeremy Jenkins, founder and executive director of ATAP, who shares the ministry's transformation from a consulting company to a nonprofit with a global mission. The conversation covers the unique challenges and successes of engaging small towns with evangelism and discipleship, particularly through the Engage Network initiative. Discussion includes the significant role of addressing nominal Christianity, the importance of rooting missionary work in local contexts, and the transformative power of true spirituality over cultural Christianity. ATAP's commitment to staying and thriving in Forest City as opposed to moving to larger cities is a testament to their dedication to their community. The episode wraps up with insights on engaging younger generations and spiritual nones, and a call to share the gospel with those around us, emphasizing the need for a united Christian mission.00:00 Introduction to Small Town Big God01:15 Meet Jeremy Jenkins and ATAP03:51 The Origin and Evolution of ATAP09:31 Challenges and Changes During COVID12:51 The Importance of Local Engagement20:13 A Personal Story of Outreach27:21 Understanding Cultural Christianity30:02 Jeremy's Dual Life and ATAP's Mission31:52 Engaging Nominal and De-Churched Christians37:18 Reaching Spiritual Agnostics and Neo-Pagans44:15 ATAP's Local Impact and Vision50:45 Final Thoughts and Call to Action

This episode gives you a breakdown of the any three model for evangelism. This method, developed by Mike Shipman, is designed for sharing the gospel in Muslim-majority contexts but can be applied more broadly. Dive into what the Any Three method entails, including its five steps: getting connected, getting to God, getting to lostness, getting to the gospel, and getting to a decision. The discussion covers the theological basis for the method, tackling obstacles in evangelism, and the importance of presenting the gospel in a straightforward, conversational manner. Listeners will also learn the story of the first and last sacrifice, a tool within the Any Three method to articulate the gospel effectively.

Muslims and Christians walk around this world pretending as if they mean the same thing when they refer to Jesus and Isa. Yet most Muslims have never read the Gospels at all, and they take the claim that its contents are corrupt on faith. To get a Muslim to ever read it and encounter the true Jesus is a triumph. Today, we uncover the truth about the difference between Isa and Jesus.Jeremy's Article: https://www.allthingsallpeople.org/blog/isa-jesus-discussing-jesus-with-a-muslimEngage Network: https://www.allthingsallpeople.org/church-partnershipAny Three Method: https://www.missionfrontiers.org/issue/article/any-3More of Mikel's work: mwcollins.org

Are Christians responsible to help those who have been displaced by war, famine, and economic hardship? In their new book, "Refuge Reimagined: Biblical Kinship in Global Politics", Mark and Luke Glanville argue that Christians should be the example of what it looks like to treat the weakest and hurting as family.

What if an entire group of people tried to "cancel" you for an honest tweet? Dr. Christina Crenshaw knows this reality all too well. After a tweet where she questioned recent rulings regarding transgender rights, she was singled out by members of the student body at her school, Baylor University, as "transphobic". Dr. Crenshaw has stood against these claims and fought for her voice to be heard and with it the orthodox Christian view on gender. In this episode, Dr. Crenshaw talks about the unlikely place she has found herself, never having thought she would be in a position like the one she is now. They discuss the need to show grace to have our voices heard and to stand for truth in a way that invites questions. Dr. Crenshaw is a true Christian thinker and it was an honor to have her on the All Things All People Podcast.

Bobby Conway is the "One Minute Apologist" but he certainly understands that our questions take longer to deal with than 60 seconds.  Between meeting Jesus, battling alcoholism, earning a Ph.D., planting and pastoring a church, and struggling with mental health Bobby knows what it is like to have questions. He is a tremendous example of a Christian thinker because he has come out on the other side of all of that closer to Jesus than he went in. In this conversation, Jeremy and Bobby discuss his ministry as the One Minute Apologist, but also his heart for pastoring and helping those struggling with mental health. He explains how Jesus is big enough to deal with our doubts, and we think you will believe him.

Jesus was a man who spoke Aramaic, lived a life of around 33 years, and somehow is still the most important person who has ever lived. These facts confound many as to why he should be someone who is worshiped, while seemingly being able to relate to little of what the modern person experiences on a daily basis. Even more, the culture he lived in is vastly different from most cultures found on the planet today. Yet Jesus is still relevant and transcends culture and Jeremy and Josh describe why in this episode.

"If God is omnipotent and loving, why does He allow evil in the world?" I get this question all the time, and that makes sense because it is an important one.

What does the Bible actually say about demons and the powers of darkness? Questions like this one are common in Christian minds, and Dr. Michael Heiser is one of the experts who can help make sense of this difficult topic for you. In this episode, you'll hear us breakdown the most important Biblical texts for understanding the powers of darkness and discuss what spiritual warfare should look like in the life of the Christian today. Dr. Michael Heiser served for 14 years as a scholar in residence for Logos Bible software. He now spends much of his time writing, having released recent books such as the Unseen Realm (recovering the supernatural worldview of the Bible), Angels (What the Bible really says about God’s heavenly host), and Demons (What the Bible really says about the powers of darkness).
