Missionary Jack Barentsen joins The Gospel Stories Podcast to share what it’s like to bring the gospel to one of the most secular nations in Europe — the Netherlands. In this conversation, Jack, Jon, and Clark explore how the church can thrive in a culture shaped by individualism, experience, and post-Christian values.
They discuss:
Why legalism pushed people away — and why freedom without truth is no better
How listening and participation open doors for genuine discipleship
Why younger generations are quietly searching for meaning again
How the gospel must be both lived and proclaimed to make sense in a culture that’s lost its framework for faith
This episode will challenge how you think about evangelism and discipleship in a world that’s moved beyond religion — yet still longs for redemption.
