5 BE WISE IN THE WAY YOU ACT TOWARD OUTSIDERS. MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY. 6 LET THE WORDS YOU SPEAK ALWAYS BE FULL OF GRACE. LEARN HOW TO MAKE YOUR WORDS WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR. THEN YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO ANSWER EVERYONE. (NIV)

Colossians 4

5-6 USE YOUR HEADS AS YOU LIVE AND WORK AMONG OUTSIDERS. DON’T MISS A TRICK. MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY. BE GRACIOUS IN YOUR SPEECH. THE GOAL IS TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN OTHERS IN A CONVERSATION, NOT PUT THEM DOWN, NOT CUT THEM OUT. (MSG)

“In the latest episode of the Asian America Podcast, I sit down with Professor, Dr., and Baptist Pastor Ken Fong for a chat. You'll get to know both of us a little better, and bear witness to a conversation about how we each arrived at opposing conclusions about the existence of God, but intriguingly, how we actually AGREE on evolution. Do not adjust your screens folks; Ken is an evolutionist and a Baptist.” #NotAllBaptists

A Rare Endorsement Indeed

Christopher Wongpodcast producer

“He's also extremely eloquent and possesses an uncanny ability to put interlocutors at ease with his warmth (all the better to lure them into the lion's den? I kid!), charm and what can only be described as ‘hipness.’ The last thing you expect a Baptist pastor to be, is really plugged in to things like pop culture and the ever-evolving lingua franca of the millennials.“I hope that this advances a model of how conversations between the faithful and faithless don't have to be reduced to snarky one-uppers and condescending diatribes.”

A Rare Endorsement Indeed

NOT A TECHNIQUE.NOT AN ATTRIBUTE OF ONE PERSONALITY.

A WAY OF VALUING AND RESPECTING OTHERS THAT JESUS PERSONIFIED.
