This week’s Say Yes to Holiness 1 on 1 Conversation podcast episode is with Jared Zimmerer, Director of the Word on Fire Institute, and continues the OSV Innovation Talk speaker series.
So, can Kung Fu inform modern evangelization? The answer is yes and the tactics will startle you!
This was a part of our conversation as well as Jared’s talk, entitled, “Bruce Lee Was A Master Evangelist” which will send you on a mission to explore how the practices of a martial artist can assist in sharing the Gospel in the 21st Century. Jared’s love for Bruce Lee taught him principles of incredible success for sharing Christ’s message with the world. You are invited to stand alongside Jared and myself in wonder of this incredible icon of film and martial arts as well as appreciate the practicality of simplicity.
