Equipping Classes

Jesus calls us to be his witnesses wherever we go—and he promises that he is with us. Still, many of us find evangelism intimidating. We fear rejection. We fear awkward conversations. We fear that speaking about Jesus might have real consequences for our relationships.

But evangelism isn’t a strange, specialized job for unusually bold Christians. God ordinarily makes the good news known through normal Christians who love real people. The Holy Spirit works in and through us—but we really do have to speak. We have to say something about Jesus, invite people to church, and share the good news that gives eternal life.

This fall, we’re finishing a conversation we began in 2024 about becoming people through whom God makes his good news known—starting with our neighbors, friends, and the people we already know and love. We’ll learn to listen well, speak naturally about Jesus, explain the gospel clearly, and make real invitations. And through it all, we’ll look to Jesus, trust that he is with us, and ask him for the love and courage to step out in faith.

This fall, our teens will read and discuss some of Christianity’s great books—especially books that help us understand, explain, and defend the Christian faith amid the competing stories of our world. There is no homework or reading ahead. We will read the books aloud together, pausing along the way to ask questions, untangle difficult ideas, and discuss what they mean for following Jesus.

We’ll begin with C. S. Lewis’s The Abolition of Man, a short but challenging book about truth, education, the shaping of our loves, and what happens when human beings try to remake humanity without any standard beyond themselves. From there, we hope to explore other Christian classics that help our teens think carefully, recognize the assumptions shaping their world, and grow more confident in what they believe and why.
