Bonus Ep: The Importance of Intercultural Churches

“God has called us to be counter-cultural. If we only have multicultural churches, we are just mirroring society – that’s not what God has called us to do. We need to rise above multicultural Britain and develop intercultural and inclusive churches…” 
 
As we seek to share the good news of Jesus in our diverse urban communities, our churches must become places of welcome and belonging for people of all backgrounds and cultures. Jason Roach speaks with Rev Dr Israel Olofinjana, Director of the One People Commission at the Evangelical Alliance, about the importance for churches to move towards being ‘intercultural’. 
 
Speaking directly to church leaders, and those in positions of leadership in our churches, this bonus episode explores the need for churches to move beyond simply being ‘multicultural’. We’ll hear practical advice and inspiring stories about how church can instead become places where connections are made across the barriers and boundaries of cultures and ethnicities.

S2, Ep1: “Well, no one’s interested, are they?”

Welcome to season 2 of the Everyday Evangelism Podcast from London City Mission. 
This season explores the struggles we can face when it comes to sharing Jesus, and how we can begin to overcome these – confidently sharing the good news, particularly with those who are least likely to hear. 
The particular struggle we are thinking about in our first episode is: “Well, no one's interested, are they?” 
We’re joined by Rachel Jordan-Wolf from Hope Together and Michael Prendergast from LCM’s Southwark team.  
With practical advice, and inspiring stories,  together we explore the rise in spiritual openness and how we can be encouraged to keep sharing Jesus – confident that the harvest is still plentiful. 
  
  

S 2 - Ep 1b: Bonus conversation: What if I’ve been sharing the gospel with someone for years…with seemingly no result?

You never know what moment might turn things around in someone’s life."  - Rachel Jordan-Wolf 
In this short bonus episode, Jason Roach is joined by Rachel Jordan-Wolf (Hope Together) and Michael Prendergast (missionary with our South Team) to reflect on how we can respond to a quiet but common struggle: sharing Jesus faithfully but seeing little response. 
They share personal stories of loved ones who came to faith after years – even decades – of prayer and conversation. Together, they explore how to keep going when it feels discouraging, and how to stay alert to those surprising windows of opportunity when hearts soften.

We’re joined by Gavin Calver, CEO of Evangelical Alliance, and Matt Brinkley, Missionary Team Leader.  
Be encouraged as we explore how we can view our time differently: realising that sharing Jesus is not an extra activity to add to our busy schedules, and recognising the sacred potential in everyday moments.  
If you want to resist the rush and find space within your everyday routines to naturally share Jesus – then this episode is for you. 
 

S2 Ep 4 Bonus: “I’m so busy at church, how can I find time to share Jesus?”

“Sometimes I feel like we’re one of the best kept secrets in our communities… we need to just make faith-sharing normal again.” 
In this bonus conversation, we continue exploring what it looks like to share Jesus when life already feels full. We  dig into the tension many Christians feel: wanting to share Jesus but feeling like church life takes up a lot of our time.  
We’re joined by Gavin Calver, CEO of Evangelical Alliance and Matt Brinkley, an LCM Missionary Team Leader, to unpack how we can rethink our rhythms, take personal ownership of the opporunities around us, and make space for the good news of Jesus to overflow into everyday relationships.
