A Crisis in Evangelism? A Conversation With Paul Akin

An educational leader and former missionary addresses whether or not our evangelistic methods should change in a changing culture.

In this episode of The Missions Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Paul Akin, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Administration at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, to discuss the critical and evolving landscape of evangelism in today’s rapidly changing culture. With a rich background in missions, having served in Africa and the Middle East, and his current leadership roles, Dr. Akin brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the conversation. You can hear him regularly on Amazon to the Himalayas Podcast on Southern Equip. See full show notes….
