Episode Description:In this first episode of a new series on Gospel Talks, George Binoka and Jeff Musgrave dive into the phrase “Come and See” as a model for evangelism. Drawing from John 1, they unpack how Jesus invited others into relationship—not through argument or pressure, but through presence and personal connection. They talk about why introducing people to Jesus isn't about having all the answers—it's about walking with them, sharing your story, and letting Jesus speak for himself. From real-life stories to practical takeaways, this episode is a call to love people well and make disciples in a way that's reproducible, relational, and rooted in Christ.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Relational Evangelism02:52 The Invitation: 'Come and See'05:48 Experiencing Jesus: The Relational Approach08:28 The Power of Personal Testimony11:30 From Evangelism to Discipleship14:18 Reproducible Discipleship: Training Others17:19 The Miracle of Transformation19:58 Building Relationships for Evangelism22:39 The Journey of Following Jesus25:36 Conclusion: The Call to Action

How is the Church, as a whole, handling evangelistic opportunities? Do we take full advantage and spread the Gospel or just sit back and wait for someone else to do it? Christianity is an active religion that requires Christians to tell others the good news, but the means with which we spread the gospel have […]
Cory McKenna, founding president of The Cross Current, joins Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to discuss the power of leading by example in evangelism. Cory, once a pastor who struggled with sharing his faith, shares his story of conviction. The discussion highlights that all the men at the table are byproducts of strong leadership in evangelism. Cory emphasizes that pastors should be examples in evangelism, as imitation is central to discipleship. Modern Christianity often prioritizes information over transformation, but biblical discipleship resembles an apprenticeship. Jesus didn't simply teach—He commanded His followers to walk alongside Him. Leaders should bring people into their lives as Paul instructed Timothy.The discussion explores how evangelism should be ingrained in church life. There are only three times in scripture the world evangelism is used, yet the role is essential in equipping the church. Many Christians are being discipled but not discipling others. E.Z. warns that churches neglecting evangelism should concern us. Christians should feel compelled to reach the lost because today is the only guaranteed time to share. Evangelism is a natural expression of joy in salvation. Cory stresses that worship is obedience, and witnessing is an act of worship. Everything we do should reflect Christ. Fear often hinders evangelism, but love should overcome it. Christians should not linger too long in apologetics—rather, they should step out and share the gospel.Being a witness extends beyond words; our lives must align with the message we preach. Just as lawyers attempt to discredit witnesses, the world watches Christians closely. We are heralds of the kingdom, returning from glimpsing the future to tell the world. The most enthusiastic evangelists are those deeply impacted by the gospel. Evangelism is unique—it's the only pyramid scheme where everyone wins. If a Christian isn't sharing the gospel, they should examine their faith. Fear is common, but fearing the Lord should motivate us to persuade others. Serving the world over God means lacking holy fear. A judge doesn't seek eloquence but truth—likewise, Christians should simply share what they've seen and heard. Guilt over inaction should drive us toward evangelism. Paul exemplifies this burden for the lost in Philippians.Evangelism begins in the home. Parents must model faith to their children, showing them the power of the gospel at the dinner table. Small, consistent efforts—preaching to neighbors, handing out tracts, setting goals—will grow into a lifestyle of evangelism.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Discipleship is simple obedience in the ordinary. In this episode of Salty Believer Unscripted, Bryan Catherman and Josiah Walker return to the basics, reminding us that discipleship often looks like a consistent, faithful presence in the church's life. They unpack the simplicity and weight of just showing up, investing in relationships, and grounding your walk in the local body of Christ. The key is to have a plan. A simple plan and a complicated plan are still plans. Either way, you need one. Copyright 2025. For more information, please visit SaltyBeliever.com.

Summary In this episode of the FutureChurch podcast, Anthony Delaney engages with Mattias Demaerel, who shares his transformative journey in disciple making. They discuss the inception of a disciple making movement, the structure and impact of the Recruits program, and the importance of relationships in discipleship. Mattias emphasizes the need for a multiplication mindset over a growth mindset, highlighting the significance of finding 'persons of peace' for effective evangelism. The conversation also touches on the Kingdom of God, the role of signs and wonders, and the relational nature of discipleship. Takeaways Disciple making can start accidentally through genuine relationships. Personal transformation is crucial for effective discipleship. A disciple making movement requires a multiplication mindset. Finding a 'person of peace' is essential for evangelism. Discipleship is highly relational and cannot be done in isolation. The Kingdom of God should be central to our mission. Multiplication requires sacrifice and commitment. Curriculum in discipleship should be simple yet profound. The church must focus on sending rather than just gathering. Apostolic mission is about empowering others to reach their networks.

In this episode of the Church Planting Podcast, Greg Nettle welcomes his longtime friend Brian Tome, founder and senior pastor of Crossroads Church in Cincinnati. Brian unpacks the unfiltered reality of church planting—from answering a magazine ad with 11 strangers to building a church that reaches tens of thousands weekly. He shares how grit, vision clarity, and authenticity have shaped his journey, recounts his “two-for-one” approach to core team building, and challenges leaders to relentlessly pursue new people, not just transfer Christians. Brian and Greg discuss lessons learned the hard way, the importance of work ethic, and the pain and payoff of staying true to your calling—even when it means “ripping people's ears off” before they rip off yours. Brian also dives into Crossroads' outreach—like fighting sex trafficking in Nepal, developing software for prison ministry, and building the CityLink Center. He reflects on personal health, relational boundaries, and leading with authenticity (yes, even smoking a Marlboro onstage once to make a point!). The conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone in the trenches of church leadership or just starting out.

Evangelism is at the heart of discipleship, yet many churches and leaders neglect it, focusing more on knowledge than transformation. True discipleship follows the example of Christ, who led by action, and pastors should embody this by equipping their congregations to share the gospel. Evangelism isn't about expertise in apologetics but about faithfulness, overcoming fear, and expressing the joy of salvation. Christians should take responsibility for reaching others, recognizing that evangelism is an act of love and worship. The Great Commission starts in the home, with parents modeling faith for their children, and extends into daily life through conversations, gospel tracts, and intentional outreach.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Embodied Faith: on Relational Neuroscience, Spiritual Formation, and Faith
This Holy Week, as Jesus, "the man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief" (Is. 53:3), walks toward the cross, we ask what it might be to proclaim this as good news. An older evangelism might ask, Where will you go when you die? But in our age of anxiety and despair, maybe we need to shift to: What do you do with your sorrow as you live? That Jesus walks with us in our sorrows is really good news. That's what we are talking about today with Dr. Andrew Root. He is the Carrie Olson Baalson professor of youth and family ministry at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. He writes and researches in areas of theology, ministry, culture and younger generations. And most recently has written about Evangelism in an Age of Despair: Hope Beyond the Failed Promise of Happiness.Join Attaching to God Learning Cohort: Quieting an Anxious and Avoidant Faith.Starting April 29 (2025), with the live calls on Tuesdays, 4pm (EST).

Sara Dangerfield and her husband, Dan, lead Journey Church in Minot, ND. Fun fact: Sara's sister is married to Stephen's brother -- so Sara and Stephen are basically in-law...in-laws (or something like that). Sara recently published her first book -- Leading Spiritual Hoarders. In this episode, we talk about the importance of being a disciple who makes disciples. We talk about how people become spiritual hoarders by keeping the good news about Jesus to themselves instead of sharing it with others. Sara shares practical advice, like creating a list of 100 people you see throughout a typical week -- to determine if they are following Jesus, not a a follower, or unknown -- in order to be intentional with conversations. Sara also talks about navigating when dreams change.Follow Sara Dangerfield on InstagramBuy Leading Spiritual Hoarders on AmazonVisit Sara's website | saradangerfield.com Follow Going Somewhere Podcast on InstagramAsk a Question or Suggest a Guest | goingsomewherepod.comSubscribe to us on YoutubePodcast Music: Electric Ten by Broke in SummerGoing Somewhere is a resource of Northview ChurchStephen's Instagram & Website

Donald Trump launched a global trade war because he thinks America's trade deficit makes us “losers,” but does he even understand what a trade deficit is? Phil introduces a new segment full of statistics that make Kaitlyn and Skye groan. And they discuss David Brooks' new article in The Atlantic, which compares this moment in U.S. history to the era of Andrew Jackson, and offers hope for what may come after MAGA. Skye interviews Jonathan Rauch about his new book, “Cross Purposes.” Rauch, an atheist, says his antagonism toward Christianity changed when he came to see how vital it is to American democracy and why evangelicals' failure to follow Jesus is putting the whole country at risk.
