    S1E6 Asian Flexing: Evangelisation
    Mar 21 2025

    Matt and Dan talk about the finer details of asian dinner conversations, before speaking about the Christian task of evangelisation.


    They clarify the important distinction between evangelisation and "flexing" (and why one does not equate with the other). They also talk about the link between parish life and the imperative for evangelisation, and the important place of divine gift, journeying and communion in the proclamation of the Gospel.
