During the 18 months that EvangelismCoach has been up and running, I’ve written several articles on the definition of evangelism.   Every now and then, it’s helpful to bring something out of the archives and bring it back in front of new readers.

A question that I’m asked often when teaching is “what is postmodernism?” It’s a term I throw around loosely, since that’s just part of my worldview. I’ve used it several times in this blog already and will continue to do so.
