The velocity with which culture changes challenges evangelism and discipleship—something Brad Edwards, planter and lead pastor of The Table Church in Lafayette, Colorado, thinks about a lot. In this episode, he joined Dr. Keith Plummer to discuss lessons he continues to learn while ministering where people are “open to the idea of God but very turned off to the idea of church.” Other subjects they discuss are anti-institutionalism, spiritual consumerism, and why Christians need to consider the formative powers of our technological practices. Brad also briefly previews his forthcoming book, The Reason for Church: Why the Body of Christ Still Matters in an Age of Anxiety, Division, and Radical Individualism.
