Episode 19 of “Ministry Minded” features Kyle George Jones
On today’s episode, Brad is joined by Kyle George Jones to talk about how to teach the full gospel to kids. How do you explain a Christ-centered hermeneutic and chiefly Christological interpretation of the Bible to young children? How do you do justice to God’s Word without confusing your young audience? We endeavor to speak to these realities and remain true in our effort to show that Jesus is everywhere in your Bible, not just in the New Testament. We also talk about the inception of The Gospel Economist and a slew of books recommended for budding young Bible teachers.
Kyle is the director of youth ministry for All Saints Lutheran Church in Arlington, Texas. He’s also the founder and editor of The Gospel Economist, a site that endeavors to showcase the completely otherworldly economy of God’s gospel. Kyle’s an avid writer and keen thinker.
