Good News in a Distracted Age: Sharing Jesus with an Always-Online Generation

Why this Workshop?
Adventists preach the gospel. But our sermons and appeals often land with two groups: the older, already-convinced members and the churcht insiders.
Meanwhile, the people we most want to reach—secular, de-churched, younger audiences—disconnect from our message and move on.
This Live workshop flips that script by showing you how to:
Consistently connect with post-church listeners in real conversations
Get them curious about Jesus and the gospel
Make the good news feel real in 2025 (because it’s not 1990 anymore)
Share the full message without guilt trips, performance religion, or churchy jargon that switches young people off.
Who is this for?
• Pastors and lay preachers who want gospel messages that land with youth & seekers
• Youth/young-adult leaders planning evangelistic series or small groups
• Bible instructors and communicators tasked with public evangelism or Bible studies
• Church planters and missional communities in secular cities
• Parents & members who want to talk about Jesus with kids & teens
What you’ll learn
-
The Story-Arc Gospel Framework
Creation → fracture → redemption → restoration (how to preach the big story of Jesus as good news, not just rules and doctrines)
-
Language for Secular Minds
Translating sin, repentance, righteousness, and kingdom into everyday categories that make sense outside church.
-
The Relevance Bridge
How to start with the tensions people already feel – anxiety, loneliness, digital numbness, injustice, meaning crisis, burnout – and connect them naturally to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus without forcing it or sounding like a cliché.
-
A Trauma-Aware Approach to Good News
How to talk about repentance, obedience, and surrender without re-activating spiritual wounds.
You’ll learn ways of framing the call of Jesus that invite, dignify, and heal instead of manipulate or pressure. -
Jesus at the Centre, Not Just the Tagline
Three foundations that keep Jesus central in your preaching and conversations, so you’re not just adding a “Jesus paragraph” to a talk that was really about behaviour management, culture war, or church loyalty.
-
From Monologue to Dialogue
Simple frameworks, questions, and scripts that help you shift from preaching “at” people to genuine conversation – in person, online, and in small groups – where doubt, pushback, and questions are welcome.

This workshop will help you share the good news of Jesus in a way that cuts through all of that and feels like real, grounded, hopeful news in 2026.
