In the introductory episode of the podcast "Emissaries of Renewal," hosts Christina (CC) and Denise (DeDe) embark on a journey exploring thoughtful and ethical evangelism. As seminarians at Bexley Seabury in Chicago, they share their diverse faith backgrounds and unique paths to the Episcopal Church. Christina expresses her enthusiasm as a Postulant for Holy Orders, while Denise highlights their involvement with the Episcopal Evangelism Society, aiming to present the Good News in innovative ways.

Encouraging audience engagement, they invite listeners to participate in an evolving conversation, which fosters community. The episode hints at personal stories, including CC's travel experiences in London, emphasizing faith's relevance in daily life. The hosts advocate for connection and authenticity, steering away from fear-based tactics to promote love and respect for various beliefs.

The definition of evangelism is explored, with Denise referencing HarperCollins's Bible Dictionary to explain its Greek roots in "euangelion," meaning "good announcement" or "gospel." They underscore the tradition of evangelism within the Episcopal Church and the need for respect and inclusivity. Concluding with a reflection on 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, they call listeners to embrace diversity and join them as "Emissaries of Renewal" in their transformative journey of faith.
