Step Six – The Adaptable Playbook
Posted October 6, 2025
How do you introduce your Evangelism Team to your city? In this episode, Chris Gough talks with Jad Levi (Phoenix Evangelism Project) about listening tours, trust-building, and creating compelling gatherings that elevate evangelism without creating sideways energy. Learn how Phoenix leaders launched a citywide initiative rooted in prayer, relationship, and mission.
He answers the questions:
How did your E-Team use your Listening Tour findings to invite local pastors into conversation?
This is all about making behind-the-scenes conversations public. Why is that so valuable?
How has the temperature of evangelism increased in Phoenix because of these conversations?
If you were sharing your experience with another e-team, what advice would you give?
What should be in place before you “go public”?
How are we establishing credibility to get folks in the room?
Bio:
Ps. Jad Levi (M.Div., Fuller Seminary) is the co-founding and co-lead pastor of Trinitas Church in Phoenix, Arizona, alongside his wife, Ps. Jaime Levi. Together, they lead a dynamic movement forming followers of Jesus to bring Heaven to Earth through a decentralized network of missional communities across the Phoenix metro. These communities are intentionally rooted among people on the margins—serving, discipling, and planting seeds of hope in underserved neighborhoods. Under their leadership, Trinitas expanded beyond Phoenix in 2023, launching a growing church planting initiative over 20 plants modeled after their local network across the U.S. and internationally. With some friends, he also founded the Phoenix Evangelism Project which is a city wide effort of pastors and leaders on mission to elevate evangelism so that Valley churches become conversion communities. To date over 100 churches and ministries bridging denominational, ethnic, and socio-economic divides have engaged.
