It can sometimes be hard to share the gospel with a culture that
seems to speak a language different from the one we speak at
church. But Jesus is calling us to do exactly that. As an
evangelist and church planter, Shauna Pilgreen has firsthand
experience translating Jesus to a culture desperate to hear his
truth. On today’s episode of Unapologetic, Julianne sits down with
Shauna to break it all down for us.
Shauna and her husband lead Epic Church in San Francisco, one of
the most secular and diverse cities in the country. Given that
experience, Shauna knows exactly what it takes to translate the
gospel in a way anyone can understand, whether that’s to your Uber
driver, the barista at your favorite coffee shop, or—sometimes most
challenging of all—your own family and friends. During this candid
conversation, Julianne asks Shauna to share some of the ways
Christians speak our own language (that we may not even be aware
of), where we can start when it comes to translating Jesus to those
around us, and practical tips for overcoming awkwardness or
discomfort when it comes to talking about our faith. This whole
episode is filled with incredible stories from Shauna of the ways
she’s seen Jesus move in the lives of those you’d least expect.
We’re all called to share the good news of Jesus with whoever we
meet—this encouraging conversation will equip you with the tools
needed to do exactly that!
