Several months ago, we highlighted some great resources for BAM (Business As Missions) entrepreneurs, supporters and those who are interested in learning more about BAM. Of those resources, podcasts highlighting BAM and its impact are very helpful in bringing information and updates regarding BAM and those involved in BAM to the masses. This month, we would like to highlight The Faith Driven Podcast, a show that not only delves into BAM, but discusses what faith-based entrepreneurship looks like.
The story of today’s guest starts in a recording studio. When Dr. Tony Evans was a student at Dallas Theological Seminary, he was asked to preach on a radio show based out of Houston. After giving countless sermons to an audience he could never see, Tony gathered 10 people in his living room, which was the start Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. Fast forward and Oak Cliff Bible has roughly 10,000 members, Tony has written dozens of books, and countless people have encountered the gospel of Jesus Christ through their work. We couldn’t have been more excited to sit down with Dr. Tony Evans, and we think you’ll be blessed by what he shared today... |
