| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, Joshua Lewis here with Remnant Radio, and I'll tell you about Rimcon this spring in San Diego, California. |
| 0:06.8 | The dates are February 5th through the 7th, and the subject of the conference is growing in the Gifts of the Spirit. |
| 0:12.3 | You can join us there in person or via live stream, and what you're going to get out of that conference is some serious theological training on the gifts of the Spirit. |
| 0:22.6 | What are they? How do they operate? |
| 0:28.1 | There's also going to be opportunities to break out and practice spiritual gifts in a kind of biblical, |
| 0:33.9 | safe, and orderly way. We've got lectures from myself, Michael Miller, Michael Roundtry, John Mark Baker, from the Minor Prophets, and Dr. Sam Storms. So if you're looking to move beyond just |
| 0:38.9 | the theoretical and learning the theology of spiritual guests, but you're actually wanting to start |
| 0:42.8 | practicing them for yourself, I'd encourage you to come out and hang out with us February 5th |
| 0:48.3 | through the 7th there in San Diego, California. Why is evangelism seem not to be working here in the West? See a lot of people |
| 0:55.9 | using classical arguments for apologetics, reasoning from their faith, trying to convince atheists |
| 1:02.0 | and agnostics. And typically when I watch on YouTube, they're just dunking on these fools and |
| 1:06.1 | humiliating them publicly and saying, ah, this is the answer. Look, it's so clear. But then I don't |
| 1:10.6 | see people actually coming to faith. I just see these giant I win moments online. What's the |
| 1:16.7 | disconnect from our gospel message and what's happening in people receiving that gospel message |
| 1:22.5 | in culture? Why is evangelism broken in the West? Well, I think Augustine has got some answers for us from |
| 1:29.7 | church history that will apply to our cultural moment. My name is Joshua Lewis in this episode |
| 1:35.2 | of Remnant Radio. That's what we're talking about. You stay tuned. |
| 1:40.5 | Hey, everybody. Thank you so much. Tune into this episode of Remnant Radio. If you aren't already a subscriber, hit that subscribe button, like the video, shared around to those who may be impacted. Today, we're talking about apologetics, evangelism, big fancy words, apologetics, just giving a reason and a defense for your faith. But we're doing it from a historical perspective, gleaning on insights from |
| 2:02.0 | an old church father, Augustine or Augustine, or Augustine, depending on how you want to put that |
| 2:06.2 | emphasis on that syllable. |
| 2:07.9 | Thank you so much for tuning into the program. |
