Anatomy of the Church and State

Episode 30 with Mark Hopson

Mark Hopson from DecisionPoint.org joins me to discuss the importance of student-led evangelism and encourages students to form groups to share Christ with their peers. How does Decision Point provide resources and training for youth pastors to help their students effectively share the gospel? How can your church support and equip students for evangelism? 

How can community members and parents get involved in reaching their local public schools? TUNE IN to find out!


Mark Hopson is a graduate of Biolo University and he went on to get his Master of Arts degree in New Testament from Talbot School of Theology. He’s been working for an organization since 2006 called Decision Point: An organization that equips Christian students as “teen evangelists” to reach their peers and classmates for Christ. To date, they’ve seen over 10,000 students from 500 schools give their lives to Christ through on-campus, student-led outreach events. He is now the President of this organization
