Having dived deep into each of the four Gospels in the New Testament, our final episode considers what The Gospel of Jesus Christ means for sharing it. Prominent and passionate evangelist Sam Chan discusses the ways we can summarise The Gospel. He also raises how Jesus adapted the way he delivered the good news to those he was engaging with so, perhaps we should too, then.
