Go, Ask, and Tell will equip and inspire you, the reader, to go forward and evangelize in the name of God alone and for God’s glory alone. Pastor Jim draws on his prior experience in discipleship-making and relationship-building to inspire believers everywhere to do just what the title says: Go, Ask, and Tell. In this book, you will learn practical steps like initiating meaningful conversations, asking thoughtful questions that open hearts, listening with empathy, and sharing the gospel message clearly and confidently. These simple, actionable methods give you the tools you need to truly connect with others and fulfill your calling to make disciples.

This book is built on the Great Commission and the Great Commandments given to the church and is filtered through great stories of doing just that by Jim over the past 40 years. For example, Jim shares how he once approached a coworker who was struggling with anxiety, started with a simple question about how they were really doing, and patiently listened before sharing his faith. These kinds of real-life scenarios show how genuine conversations can open doors for the gospel in everyday settings. What makes him the perfect candidate to write this book is over 40 years of ministry, over 40 years of disciple-making, and a lifelong pursuit of Jesus Christ and commitment to His Word. You will discover how asking the right questions and getting to the heart of the sinner is so effective at preparing their hearts for what’s next, the Tell.

With his understanding that God makes believers, but we make disciples, Pastor Jim embarks on a relentless pursuit to inspire others to fulfill their part of the Great Commission, “The Tell.” By using scripture to make the hearer understand God’s purpose for their lives, how to live ethically before Him, and by answering life’s biggest questions. You, too, can use Christ’s favorite methods for drawing and developing disciples. Throughout His ministry, Christ often used parables to teach deeper truths, engaged people through personal conversations, asked probing questions, and demonstrated compassion and active listening. Pastor Jim uses a similar method by preaching the scriptures, asking questions, and explaining what they say. That’s it. So, as you read along, you will discover how you were made to make disciples, that will make disciples, that will make disciples. Until the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Anointed One, we Go, Ask, and Tell! That’s right, disciples making disciples for the glory of God. So Go, Ask, and Tell.
