Welcome to the Gospel Coalition podcast, where we help to renew and unify the contemporary church in the ancient gospel.

Today's podcast is a talk on evangelism by Sam Chan called How to Speak Jesus to Your Friends.

It was recorded at our 2025 national conference.

So just a few words of introduction.

My name is Sam, Sam Chan.

Yes, I'm Asian.

Yes, I'm Australian. And yes, I'm short. That's why I'm standing on this. They built this just in time for me to be here. And I'm married to my wife,

Steph. We got into, I don't know, USA yesterday, day before. Stephanie's trying to hide. She

hates being seen, but she's sitting right in the

middle next to the camera there. Also, we have three boys. So I've told them, boys, when you grow up,

chances are you be just like me. Not very good looking, very, very short. So no girl is ever

going to like you. The only chance in life is to study hard and make a lot of money.

Now, of course, I'm joking.

I'm not saying, I never have said that.

But every Asian in the room is thinking, hang on, I've said that.

Or my dad has said that to me.

No, I have never said that to my boys.

But anyway, it's so good to be here.

Just a few other words of introduction.

What can I say? So shout out to my publisher, Zonovan. So I was an unknown Aussie. And a few years

ago, they took a chance on me. And we put out evangelism in a skeptical world. and it did way better than we thought it would do.

One book of the year by Christianity today, I think.
