Episode 16: Evangelism Isn’t an Event - It’s Everyday Life (w/ Ronnie Goble and Alfonso Mack)

The Collegiate Church Network Episode 16

Ronnie Goble and Alfonso Mack have been following Jesus together since their college football days at Bowling Green State University. Now, they serve side by side at Rooted Church—a young, dynamic church plant in Metro Detroit focused on reaching the Woodward corridor with the gospel. In this episode, they share stories from their early days on campus, how a meal at Buffalo Wild Wings sparked a friendship that turned into a ministry partnership, and why they believe the local church is essential for long-term spiritual formation.

We talk about bold evangelism, the power of relational discipleship, and why southeast Michigan presents both unique challenges and incredible opportunities for gospel witness. Whether you’re planting a church, doing campus ministry, or just want to grow in living out your faith where you are, this episode will encourage and equip you.
