You don't actually want to be “there” — you just don't know how powerful “here” really is. We live in a constant tension between where we are and where we wish we were. Social media amplifies it. Comparison fuels it. Impatience feeds it. But what if the key to getting “there” is learning how to fully show up “here”? In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks Paul's final words in 2 Timothy and reveals how eternal perspective, daily faithfulness, and radical trust in God are the true pathway from here to there. If you've ever felt behind, stuck, overlooked, or frustrated with your current season, this message will anchor your heart and reset your focus. Trust God here — and He will take you there. ✨What you'll discover: ● Why your “here” is not a holding pattern but holy preparation. ● How eternal perspective keeps you steady in temporary seasons. ● The simple (but not easy) secret to moving from here to there.

JOHN 15:1-10 - ABIDE IN ME - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 15:1-10 "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

Does sharing your faith feel like a heavy burden you have to carry entirely on your own? You aren't the only one wondering why evangelism feels so isolating. For many of us, the pressure to "save" our friends or have all the right answers creates a crushing weight that makes us want to give up before we even start.In this video, we explore a paradigm shift that changes everything: What if you weren't meant to do this alone? The modern view of evangelism often paints a picture of a solo mission you against the world. But the reality is that the most effective way to introduce people to Jesus isn't through a perfect apologetics argument, but through community.We unpack the concept of "merging your universes" taking your Christian friends and your non-Christian friends and simply letting them hang out. It sounds simple, but it removes the awkwardness and pressure of forced spiritual conversations. instead of being a solo salesperson for the Gospel, you become a connector. You'll learn why community is often the missing ingredient in sharing your faith and how inviting people into your existing friendships can be more powerful than any sermon.If you are tired of feeling like you're failing at the Great Commission, this episode is for you. It's time to stop carrying the burden alone and start seeing evangelism as a team sport.

Segment 1 • Are we re-labeling Genesis because we're embarrassed in front of “the smart people”? • If miracles after Genesis 11 are literal, then creation and the flood can be too. • Is “mytho-history” careful scholarship—or circular reasoning dressed up as philosophy? Segment 2 • Some professing Christians think they can be solid believers while still supporting abortion. • Disagreement isn't a sign of hatred or even dislike - but simple, biblical conviction. • Some progressive “faith-leaders” are utilizing radical subjectivity to approve of things that God hates. Segment 3 • If you've truly seen the cross, how can you flirt with sin? • Evangelism can either be fueled by gospel-shaped gratitude… or a begrudging sense of duty. • Gospel knowledge must be moved from head to heart. Segment 4 • What transformed Joseph of Arimathea from fearful to fearless? • Have you actually considered what it meant to remove Christ's body from the cross? • If the crucifixion doesn't move you to gratitude and obedience, nothing will. ___ Thanks for listening!

This conversation encourages pastors, leaders, and believers to trust the sufficiency of God's Word rather than ministry trends or complex programming.

How do I share Jesus at work? Is it even appropriate?We're kicking off a new series called, “Evangelism when…” Join us for an exploration of several common scenarios where you might find yourself presented with an opportunity to share Jesus in life after graduation. We're joined by alumni, pastors, and InterVarsity staff who have real-life stories and practical steps to guide you!Starting off the series is a conversation about “Evangelism when…I'm at work.” The research suggests that we will spend ⅓ of our lives “on the job”. That means a significant portion of the time that you're on mission with Jesus will take place in the presence of your coworkers. So, how do we take bold (but humble and appropriate) steps in sharing him in a professional setting?Pastor, InterVarsity alum, and gifted evangelist, Steve Douglas, joins for today's discussion. In addition to practical steps for sharing Jesus at work, Steve has a surprising story about thoughtfully (and successfully) navigating spiritual conversations in a work environment that explicitly prohibited evangelism. If it can happen there. It can happen anywhere!(Don't have a job or not planning on entering the job market? Not a problem! Steve's approach to evangelism is useful in any setting. And stay tuned for the rest of the series as we will likely cover a scenario that fits your post-graduation evangelistic needs.)RELATED EPISODE(S)Where's My Proxe Station?!

Following Jesus will cost you everything — but with the power of the Holy Spirit, it will give you the peace you've been searching for. In this message, Christine Caine unpacks Jesus' radical call to discipleship in Mark 8, confronting a self-focused, image-driven culture with a countercultural invitation: deny yourself, listen to the Holy Spirit, take up your cross, and follow Him — fully and wholeheartedly. Jesus never asked for part of our lives. He calls us to an ALL IN faith — one where surrender leads to freedom, obedience leads to joy, and losing your life for His sake is the only way to truly find it.

Romans 11:13-15 — In this sermon on Romans 11:13–15 titled “Apostle to the Gentiles,” Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones works through the teaching of Paul to the Gentiles. Different interpretations of these controversial words by Paul are examined and the various out-workings of each are addressed. He explains the difference between translation and interpretation. Paul preaches as an apostle to the Gentiles and he emphasizes this office, perhaps with an ultimate and ulterior motive for the salvation of the Jews. Dr. Lloyd-Jones addresses these questions along with the false notions that surround both the Jew and the Gentile. Evangelism, teaching, and warning are all essential to Paul's word to these people and for today's believers. Is the gospel different for Jew and Gentile? Listeners are encouraged to be diligent in study and see the full blessing that God has offered through Christ, embracing the word of God and the hope of the gospel that is now available for every human, no matter the race, gender, or ethnicity. Salvation has been purchased through the blood of Christ for the purification of more than just the Jews.

In DTWOL… Who Is My Neighbor?, this Godcast invites you to step onto the road Jesus describes in Luke 10 and confront the difference between merely existing and truly living. Moving beyond proximity, familiarity, and convenience. The episode reveals how neighbor is defined by compassion in motion and love that acts. Through Scripture and reflection, the Good Samaritan is shown not only as an example to imitate, but as a picture of Jesus Himself—the One who moved toward us when we were fallen, bore the full cost of our rescue, and promised to return. This episode calls disciples out of self-justification and into Spirit-led obedience, where interruptions become divine appointments and everyday roads become holy ground. I pray it blesses your time, and encourages you to imitate Jesus, amen? God's Word: Key verses: Luke 10:25–37; James 1:22–24; Galatians 5:16; Matthew 22:34–40; Matthew 5:17; Ephesians 2:1; Romans 5:8. Colossians 1:13; Additional Scripture references are woven throughout the Godcast and can be gleaned from the full transcript. Amen?Email: walkingtheway3@gmail.com
