Todd Unzicker’s conversation with author and professor Scott Hildreth offers practical insights on how to share your faith with confidence and make the most of gospel opportunities.


How can you live out Acts 1:8 in simple, practical ways? In this episode, Todd Unzicker sits down with Scott Hildreth, professor at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and author of the new book, “A Short Guide to Evangelism and Missions.” The two discuss how Christians can be obedient to Jesus’ command to make disciples. Hildreth offers insights on finding confidence to share the gospel, equipping people for evangelism and making the most of gospel opportunities, like Easter Sunday on April 20. Their conversation also considers how pastors can lead by example when it comes to sharing their faith, and how churches can prepare for Easter and the upcoming Fill the Tank baptism initiative.
