How do you proclaim Christ to the culture when the very heart of the gospel message is so often overlooked? Join Chris Stefanick as he explores the kerygma—the primary proclamation of the Church—and learn to reach others not just through another ministry strategy but by following St. Paul’s example: speaking from a place of deep intimacy with Christ. Tune in to St. Paul: The Model Evangelist on November 9 at 1 p.m. CT: institute.wordonfire.org/st-….
