SNAKE 6: If The Lost Hate Open-Air Preaching, Why Do It?
In this episode of the "Snake on the Table" podcast, we dive into the uncomfortable topic of open air preaching. Why do we persist with this evangelism method when it seems unpopular? Join Tanner Cartwright and Jerry Dorris as we tackle these pressing questions and explore the balance between friendship evangelism and the direct proclamation of the Gospel. We discuss the biblical mandate for open air preaching, drawing inspiration from the examples of Jesus and the apostles. As pastors at Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, we share insights on the role of elder-qualified men in this ministry, the challenges of presenting the Gospel, and the importance of doing so under church authority. We also react to the cultural perceptions of evangelism and how they impact our approach. Engage with us in this vital conversation and send your thoughts or questions to snakeontheable@gmail.com.
