Part 2 of an interview with Steve Brown, Author of Talk the Walk: How to Be Right without Being Insufferable Click here to read part 1 of the interview. The Christian faith is true, and while we may be right on issues of salvation and theology, we may miss the less articulated truths of humility, love, and forgiveness. We live in a culture that is increasingly hostile to Christians and their faith.  Talk the Walk  (New Growth Press) by pastor and author Steve Brown unpacks the call to “go out into the world” and share faith by being truthful and winsome. By helping men and women love others out of a deeper love in Christ—the one who first loved us— Talk the Walk  helps Christians present the gospel clearly and with compassion. Brown encourages readers to: Take a step back and look at others’ perceptions. Explore the tools necessary to accomplish an attitude change of confidence and humility, repentance and truth. Share the message of Christ witho...

Boldly Yet Humbly Declaring the Truth

Image
Part 1 of an interview with Steve Brown, Author of Talk the Walk: How to Be Right without Being Insufferable It can be difficult to be a Christian in today’s culture. Not only is the outside world hostile to Christians and their faith but the voices that speak loudest don’t always speak for the masses. There are a lot of assumptions out there about what Christians do and don’t believe. With all this hostility, speaking up about issues related to faith can be intimidating. However, in his new book Talk the Walk: How to Be Right without Being Insufferable (New Growth Press), Key Life Network founder Steve Brown calls Christians to step out and speak up about what they know to be true. This attitude-altering book invites Christians to cultivate both boldness and humility in communicating gospel truth. By uncovering self-righteousness and spiritual arrogance, Talk the Walk shatters stereotypes and helps believers consider how they present the good news without watering it d...

Steve Brown calls readers to live honestly

Part 2 of an interview with Steve Brown, Author of Hidden Agendas: Dropping the Masks that Keep Us Apart We pretend hidden agendas are just for politicians, but we all have them. We’re phony and afraid, and it’s killing us and hurting those we love. In Hidden Agendas: Dropping the Masks that Keep Us Apart (New Growth Press/May 16, 2016) , Steve Brown invites us to drop our masks and discover how God’s love propels us into the real relationships we thought we’d never have. Why do Christians do this? While they may begin their walk with Christ basking in the light of forgiveness and redemption, they soon feel the sting of judgment when they fall short, whether from their own guilt or the criticism of others. As a survival mechanism, they hide their failings to avoid pain and accomplish their personal goals, lying to themselves, others and even God. Q: Why are we so afraid people will discover the truth about us? Rejection.  However, it isn’t just rejectio...

You have a hidden agenda and may not realize it

Part 1 of an interview with Steve Brown, Author of Hidden Agendas: Dropping the Masks that Keep Us Apart It’s easy to imagine high-powered executives and egotistical politicians having hidden agendas. What may not be so simple to accept is that deep down, all have a secret plan for getting themselves from where they are to where they want to be. As author and radio host Steve Brown has written in Hidden Agendas: Dropping the Masks that Keep Us Apart (New Growth Press/May 16, 2016) , people, especially Christians, wear disguises to make it easier to accomplish these concealed plans. These masks might be religion, appearance or power, and the pressure of keeping it all together can be overwhelming. For most, though, it will be a cold day in a hot place before they are fully honest with anyone else about their fears, struggles and sins. Q: You open Hidden Agendas by saying you have “lived long enough and sinned big enough” to be able to write this book. Explain what you ...
