Episode Synopsis

In the second episode of the Northwest Yearly Meeting podcast, Austin (South Salem Friends) and Jacob (Meridian Friends) talk with Lisa Garon (Sherwood Friends) about evangelism and outreach. Lisa is the new co-pastor at Sherwood and she is passionate about outreach. She is currently getting her masters at Barclay College on the topic! How do we do outreach and evangelism in today's world?

We also discuss an article that recently came out in Christianity Today magazine with information from Pew Research that says by 2070 less than half of the US population will identify as Christian. So if the numbers are trending that way, outreach and evangelism is more important than ever! But are the current ways working if the numbers are trending down?
