The Hood Shepherd Podcast

What does it look like when a teenager actually catches the evangelism bug? In this episode, Aaron Rosa sits down with Ian, a senior at Chesapeake High School and one of his discipleship guys, to trace how a Kenya mission trip became the turning point that changed everything. Ian shares the full story of Henry — a conversation on a bus, a pocket KJV Bible, and a kid from Nairobi who gave his life to Christ. He also opens up about sharing the gospel with a classmate at Chick-fil-A, a jarring confrontation with a stranger at the library who wished she had been aborted, and what it actually feels like to witness God work in real time. Aaron pulls back the curtain on the dual purpose of gospel proclamation, the Hood Shepherd for Teens resource, and why evangelism might be the best discipleship tool nobody talks about.

Brooklyn Park, MD | GospelGraph Breakdown + Neighborhood WalkWhat does gospel need look like from the inside?In this video, I pull up Brooklyn Park, MD in GospelGraph and walk through every data layer — census tract demographics, church coverage, people group density, and how it all fits together into a picture of real gospel reach. Then my buddy Cole and I hit the streets and walk it block by block.Cole isn't a ministry guy. He's just someone who loves people and wants to see them reached. And watching him see the data come to life on the ground (the people types authenticated block by block)  is exactly why this tool exists.This is what ministry intelligence looks like in practice. It's not just a theory or a map, it shows you a real neighborhood with real people and real gaps. And it equips real people with the tools to share the Gospel in a way that is truly good news.🔗 Explore GospelGraph: gospelgraph.com🔗 Learn about The Hood Shepherd: thehoodshepherd.com
