Neil decided loving Jesus meant more than just sermons every Sunday, it meant taking risks and sharing the Jesus he loved through conversations with others. In June 2019, Neil will be cycling across the United States where, along the way, he intends to engage in conversations about faith and Jesus with individuals from all walks of life.
The Listening Road is a timely journey of what it looks like to meet people precisely where they are, to find meaning and substance by listening to their stories without judgement, and to lead conversation out of curiosity and love. Real conversation and connection is possible, even in this tense and fraught time, when we create spaces of grace and enter in with the intent to listen.
In addition to his writing, publishing and broadcasting, Getz is involved in many other teaching efforts including men’s conferences, church services and other special speaking events around the nation and in international locations. He established the Center for Church Renewal in Plano, Texas in 1978 to better equip and train under-resourced church leaders. Recently, significant doors have also opened to distribute gift copies of the Study Bible to pastors and leaders internationally who have had very little formal training. In addition, they distribute gift Bibles to large prison populations within the U.S.
