Ministry Now: church reopenings with Chris Osborne
It’s a question you’ve never had to answer before, because it’s a problem we’ve never had to face before.
Last week on Ministry Now, we sat down with Chris Osborne, professor of preaching and pastoral ministry, to discuss reopening churches in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the many concerns that come with it.

Gospel ‘scatters’ even in time of pandemic ‘shelter,’ panelists agree
A pandemic poses unique challenges to evangelism, but it can also be a means to bring about an awakening in Christ, panelists agreed during a May 14 conference on “Evangelism Engagement” hosted by The Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary’s Center for Church Revitalization.

Scarborough Chair of Evangelism; and Kenneth Priest, interim director of the Center for Church Revitalization, who also served as the conference’s moderator.
