    Empowering Small Towns: The Story of All Things All People

    Mikel Collins introduces the remarkable journey of All Things All People (ATAP), a ministry in Rutherford County, North Carolina, dedicated to equipping Christians to spread the gospel to the least reached and darkest communities. We hear from Jeremy Jenkins, founder and executive director of ATAP, who shares the ministry's transformation from a consulting company to a nonprofit with a global mission. The conversation covers the unique challenges and successes of engaging small towns with evangelism and discipleship, particularly through the Engage Network initiative. Discussion includes the significant role of addressing nominal Christianity, the importance of rooting missionary work in local contexts, and the transformative power of true spirituality over cultural Christianity. ATAP's commitment to staying and thriving in Forest City as opposed to moving to larger cities is a testament to their dedication to their community. The episode wraps up with insights on engaging younger generations and spiritual nones, and a call to share the gospel with those around us, emphasizing the need for a united Christian mission. 00:00 Introduction to Small Town Big God 01:15 Meet Jeremy Jenkins and ATAP 03:51 The Origin and Evolution of ATAP 09:31 Challenges and Changes During COVID 12:51 The Importance of Local Engagement 20:13 A Personal Story of Outreach 27:21 Understanding Cultural Christianity 30:02 Jeremy's Dual Life and ATAP's Mission 31:52 Engaging Nominal and De-Churched Christians 37:18 Reaching Spiritual Agnostics and Neo-Pagans 44:15 ATAP's Local Impact and Vision 50:45 Final Thoughts and Call to Action

    Transforming Conversations with Any Three: A Guide for Evangelism

    This episode gives you a breakdown of the any three model for evangelism. This method, developed by Mike Shipman, is designed for sharing the gospel in Muslim-majority contexts but can be applied more broadly. Dive into what the Any Three method entails, including its five steps: getting connected, getting to God, getting to lostness, getting to the gospel, and getting to a decision. The discussion covers the theological basis for the method, tackling obstacles in evangelism, and the importance of presenting the gospel in a straightforward, conversational manner. Listeners will also learn the story of the first and last sacrifice, a tool within the Any Three method to articulate the gospel effectively. Whether reaching across the street or across the globe, this episode equips you to share your faith confidently. 00:00 Introduction to Base Camp Podcast 00:29 Overview of the Any Three Evangelism Method 02:36 Historical Context and Development of Any Three 05:39 Practical Application of Any Three 09:49 Steps to Implement Any Three 10:09 Getting Connected: Building Initial Rapport 12:55 Transitioning to Spiritual Conversations 20:15 Addressing Sin and Lostness 27:04 Presenting the Gospel: First and Last Sacrifice 27:11 Engaging Conversations with Muslims 27:47 The Story of the First and Last Sacrifice 28:19 Sharing the Gospel with Non-Muslims 29:23 Effective Evangelism Techniques 31:28 Encouraging Spiritual Conversations 33:33 Overcoming Evangelism Challenges 35:47 Adapting Evangelism for Different Contexts 38:28 The Importance of Sharing the Gospel 44:43 Conclusion: Participating in God's Work

    Jesus and Isa: Discussing Christ with a Muslim

    Muslims and Christians walk around this world pretending as if they mean the same thing when they refer to Jesus and Isa. Yet most Muslims have never read the Gospels at all, and they take the claim that its contents are corrupt on faith. To get a Muslim to ever read it and encounter the true Jesus is a triumph. Today, we uncover the truth about the difference between Isa and Jesus.
