Jennifer Roach introduces this new video series that will follow our Come, Follow Me study of the New Testament in 2023.
Each week we’ll talk a look at the CFM readings in the New Testament with a specific eye looking for places where there is either a resonance or a dissonance with what the average Evangelical Christian in the US believes. And each week we’ll look at a specific question an Evangelical might ask if they were in conversation with you about this text.
The idea isn’t to give you ammunition to shoot down your Evangelical friends in debate, but to try to better understand their questions and provide an informed and faithful answer.
We have so much in common with our EV friends and neighbors, but sometimes members of the church get a little shy of talking about scripture because the whole thing can end up in a muddle. This series will give some framework for understanding how they hear the same passage and how to answer questions that might come up.
More Come, Follow Me resources here.

Jennifer, I have seen some of your comments on mutual friends page, but just read your brief bio; what a thrilling background. And yes, having a conversation with our friends of other faith traditions can be rewarding. Thank you for what you are doing!
Hi Jennifer~
I am looking forward to your thoughts and comments as we move forward with our New Testament CFM 2023 curriculum.
Thank you.
This is just what I need! I have a lot of conversations with Christians of other denominations and it’s nice to know in advance where they’re coming from
I love this idea! Thanks Jennifer and everyone at FAIR for making this happen.
Woot woot!! This was great!! Sister Roach thank you for sharing your insights! Really hoping there is more to come. (PLEASE?!) ^_^
