About this episode
Dr. Stephanie Moore Hand and Rev. Ryan Hebel discuss reimagining evangelism as a grace-filled lifestyle for the church.
In this episode of The Beyond Sunday Podcast , Dr. Stephanie Moore Hand is joined by Rev. Ryan Hebel, ordained deacon and longtime pastor at The Gathering in St. Louis. With over 13 years of ministry experience ranging from Worship Pastor to Executive Director of Beyond A Network Ryan now serves as Church Planter and Site Pastor for The Gathering's new West County campus launching in 2026. Known for calling himself "hopelessly hopeful," Ryan brings a contagious vision for reimagining evangelism. Together, we explore how evangelism can move from being an afterthought to becoming a grace filled lifestyle for the church. You'll hear practical insights on how ordinary people can weave evangelism into everyday life, and why collaboration across churches, communities, and civic spaces is essential for embodying God's redeeming power. This conversation is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and challenge for anyone ready to reclaim evangelism as a way of life rooted in love, grounded in hope, and open to transformation.
