“Have a normal conversation. …a normal conversation about life, sports, family, who has the best French fries, whatever.

In other moments he took on skeptical philosophers, using their own literature to evangelize.” - TGC

“Depending upon which study you look at, as many as one-third of the nones plan to go back to church one day. They’re generally not all anti-God, though some are.” - C.Today

“…in July 2016, the president of Russia signed a package of “antiterrorist laws” that became known by their co-author name as the Yarovaya Laws. In practice the so-called anti-terrorist laws turned out to be anti-missionary and even anti-church laws.” - C.Leaders
