FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye - Healthy Leadership for Life and Ministry Jason Daye

How can our assumptions and attitudes hinder us from sharing Jesus with the non-religious and younger generations? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Aaron Pierce. Aaron is the CEO and Mission Director for Steiger International. His most recent book is entitled Not Beyond Reach. Together, Aaron and Jason look at some of the tightly held assumptions that actually prevent us from pointing the non-religious to the beauty of Jesus Christ. Aaron also helps us understand how we can shift our heart posture so we are not fiercely defending against others' cultural convictions but rather entering into conversations around some commonly held uncertainties and fears.
