About Jason Oakes MinistriesJason David Oakes is an author, researcher, and pastor dedicated to bridging the gap between the Christian academic community and the person in the pew. With over 20 years of pastoral ministry experience across five different states, Jason understands the questions everyday believers are asking and the depth of clarity they deserve. Jason has a passion for making complex theological and linguistic concepts accessible to everyone. He is the author of Sharing Jesus with the Cults and the creator of the Why Does My Bible Say…? series, where he demystifies the technical world of Greek scholarship. When he isn’t researching his next commentary, Jason enjoys life with his wife, Sarah, and their three sons.

What differentiates you from the competition?Nobody else explains the differences among English Bible translations without loads of Greek words in their work. I believe that what I am doing is necessary, yet truly unique.

What are your top selling services or products that your company offers?Nobody else explains the differences among English Bible translations without loads of Greek words in their work. I believe that what I am doing is necessary, yet truly unique.

If you had one message to get across to future customers, what would it be?You can trust the Bible. It is reliable and truly God's word. But that doesn't mean it won't require effort. "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter." - Proverbs 25:2

What is the biggest marketing challenge that you will face in the upcoming year?Now that I've written the first book in this series, I have the challenge of marketing myself, the book, and the brand. Any help I can get spreading the message is much appreciated.

How is your ministry engaging with the community today? I’m currently networking with other pastors, churches, and ministries. My long-term goal is to create fundraisers, ministry projects, and give generously toward felt local needs, and encourage other believers to join.

What role does technology play in spreading your message? Technology has created so many resources that make every step of this journey much easier than before. It allows me to accomplish so much more for the Kingdom than could have been imagined in previous generations.

How do you support spiritual growth among your members? The main objective of my ministry is to ground believers in their identity in Christ and equip them to reach their loved ones for Christ.

What challenges are ministries facing in the modern world? Irrelevance. The Bible is now seen as counterculture rather than as forming culture. Churches are now forced to ask two questions: 1) What needs (besides spiritual) are we meeting in the community? 2) What does it benefit our members to attend our services in person instead of meeting their spiritual needs online?

How do you balance tradition with innovation in worship? Worship has to remain real and genuine. People are no longer buying into the concert environment where the worship leader and pastor know exactly what people want to hear them say and what they need to say to get the response they want from them. They want genuine, honest, heartfelt worship and teaching that comes from a heart that loves God.

What initiatives are you leading to serve vulnerable populations? At the moment, none. I do hope that changes in the future.

How can younger generations be more involved in ministry? The problem is not whether there is an opportunity to get involved. The question is one of desire and motive. On the church’s end, the question is what is being done to intentionally disciple people from seeker to new believer to immature believer to mature believer to leader.
