The Bible Study Source series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Contagious Faith includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover this important Bible-based topic. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.
This new video-based training course will enfold the content of the Contagious Faith book into six sessions to be taught in small groups, classes, student ministries, and church-wide campaigns. It will include a questionnaire which will help participants identify their primary faith-sharing style, along with any secondary styles they might use. It will give them next steps for developing and deploying their natural approach in order to reach others for Christ. It will also emphasize the importance of all the skill set areas discussed in the book, and wherever natural it will prompt them to try out the skills discussed on the video with someone else in the group. In this way their effectiveness and confidence will grow - and with it, their potential for bearing spiritual fruit by impacting the lives of others.
The training videos will also include short interviews in which Mark Mittelberg will interact with five individuals who speak and use each of the 5 faith-sharing styles (possible examples):
• Matt Brown on the Friendship-Building approach • Lee Strobel on the Story-Telling approach • Alisa Childers on the Reason-Giving approach
Much like Mittelberg's, Becoming a Contagious Christian, we see the Contagious Faith book and course becoming the standard materials churches and Christian ministries will use around the world to help their members more effectively share their faith with others.
