Sharing our Faith in a Language Culture Can Understand, with Shauna Pilgreen

It can sometimes be hard to share the gospel with a culture that seems to speak a language different from the one we speak at church. But Jesus is calling us to do exactly that. As an evangelist and church planter, Shauna Pilgreen has firsthand experience translating Jesus to a culture desperate to hear his truth. On today’s episode of Unapologetic, Julianne sits down with Shauna to break it all down for us. Shauna and her husband lead Epic Church in San Francisco, one of the most secular and diverse cities in the country. Given that experience, Shauna knows exactly what it takes to translate the gospel in a way anyone can understand, whether that’s to your Uber driver, the barista at your favorite coffee shop, or—sometimes most challenging of all—your own family and friends. During this candid conversation, Julianne asks Shauna to share some of the ways Christians speak our own language (that we may not even be aware of), where we can start when it comes to translating Jesus to those around us, and practical tips for overcoming awkwardness or discomfort when it comes to talking about our faith. This whole episode is filled with incredible stories from Shauna of the ways she’s seen Jesus move in the lives of those you’d least expect. We’re all called to share the good news of Jesus with whoever we meet—this encouraging conversation will equip you with the tools needed to do exactly that! Shauna’s newest book—Translating Jesus—is available everywhere now! Connect with her on Instagram or learn more at shaunapilgreen.com.
