How to Make Disciples in the World: From Failing Husband to Church Planter, with Andy Navarrete – EM177

Bringing many stories of transformation and reconciliation, guest Andy Navarrete tells how God absolutely changed his life. He also brings his 13- and 9-year-old sons to show how simple sharing the Gospel can be.

Andy and his family currently serve the community by going door to door and telling others of the Good News. They also work to disciple others and teach them how to better share the Gospel.

Through his testimonies of God’s goodness, you can quickly see how the Lord has radically impacted his life and the life of his family.
