About this episode

Dr. Mark Turman and Kevin Palau discuss the BLESS method for everyday evangelism and its application in local communities.

In this episode of Faith & Clarity , Dr. Mark Turman sits down with Kevin Palau of the Luis Palau Association to explore what everyday evangelism can look like in your own neighborhood. Kevin shares how praying by name for his neighbors in unchurched Portland opened unexpected doors—leading to gatherings, shared meals, acts of service, and genuine spiritual conversations. Together, they unpack the BLESS practices (Begin with prayer, Listen with care, Eat together, Serve with love, Share your story), rooted in the BLESS app from Bless Every Home, which the Palau Association recently acquired to expand its reach. The conversation also touches on the importance of hospitality, how believers earn the right to be heard, and why evangelism is less about strategy and more about joining the work the Holy Spirit is already doing. Kevin also offers a broader look at the Palau Association's ministry—from city gospel movements and festivals to online evangelism in an age of emerging AI—encouraging listeners that sharing faith faithfully begins right outside their front door.
