A book by Ryan Scott
Broadcasting the Gospel
Rethinking the parable of the sower for a digital age.
“A sower went out to sow. Some seed fell on good soil.”
From Mark 4:3-8, the parable this book keeps returning to
About the book
The sower didn’t test the soil.
Most of us read the parable of the sower as a story about soil and quietly grade ourselves on which kind we are. But the sower does something strange: he scatters seed across every kind of ground, including places where growth looks unlikely. He broadcasts.
Broadcasting the Gospel reads this familiar parable in an age of cameras, feeds, and livestreams. It argues that our work is to sow generously while trusting God with the harvest.
The book draws on more than a decade of ministry in places as different as Seattle and rural South Dakota. It is written for you if you serve in ministry and wonder whether hitting “publish” can be part of the work God gave you.
