Welcome back to your last year (hopefully) at Redeemer! I couldn't be more excited to teach this class. Many of you I knew as my first ever Redeemer class back when you were 7th grade canniba-uhm-demon-uhm-students, and now you're on the verge of graduating. Thanks for making me feel older and fatter!
But I think we're all going to have a great time in this class. Believe it or not, we've got a lot of work to do, but let me give you a little idea about about my goals for each of you in this class. Check out the video below...
I sometimes think that we aren't much more effective than Johnny and Chachi when it comes to how we think about sharing the gospel with lost people. My hope for you is that this class would not only help you learn how to defend your faith but also how to live and speak it. At the end of our time, if you are like one of these goobers, I will have failed, regardless of what grade you get.
Let me know what you thought of this video. See you soon.

The video definitely makes an impression on what not to do and adds alittle humor to it.
I'm not sure how anyone would take those "techniques" seriously.If you're trying to share the gospel, it would be important to be taken seriously and not have the person you are talking to think its a big joke. technique #2- making someone feel guilty isn't a good way to achieve anything and isn't a good representation of Christianity.
the video was humorous and i think id have to agre with lauren. the technique 2 is a really bad method and a really good way to make christians look hypocritical.
The sad thing is the number of people who actually try to reduce evangelism to such [odd and culturally out-of-touch] "tried-and-true" methods. This video is of course humorous, but it hits a sore spot for evangelicals trying to reverse the damage done by techniques similar to these!
Oh my gracious...in song? I think I'd get off on the 2nd floor too.
This video was funny and frightening at the same time. I hope no one out there has evangelistic techniques like that. They'd need an intervention. It makes me upset that some people's representation of the gospel can put a bad taste in someone's mouth forever. It's hard to undo a bad first impression...
