What is Alpha, and why has it become one of the most effective tools for introducing people to Jesus around the world?

In this episode of Bread Is Life, Pastor Aaron sits down with Pastor Kevin Sharpe to talk about Alpha—a welcoming environment where people can explore life's biggest questions, discuss faith openly, and encounter the hope of Jesus. Kevin shares why Alpha has impacted countless churches, what participants can expect, and how it creates space for honest conversations about faith.

Whether you're curious about Alpha yourself or looking for a simple way to invite a friend to explore Christianity, this conversation will encourage and equip you.

This fall, The Highlands is excited to launch Alpha, led by Pastor Kevin Sharpe. If you've been looking for a place to ask questions, grow in your faith, or invite someone who is exploring Christianity, this is a great opportunity to take the next step.

In this episode:

• What Alpha is and why it works
• Creating safe spaces for spiritual conversations
