Podcast appearances and mentions of Rico Tice

As a twenty-something, with sweat dripping from his face, Rico Tice tried to share his faith with a friend. Pastor Tice will help you to boldly, yet naturally share your Christian faith with others. He'll help you to overcome your fear of rejection and tell others about the Gospel, with honesty and humility.

Parents, today I want to encourage you to step back and take stock of the preaching ministry at your church. You see, we are living in a day and age when the cultural agenda is shaping the content of many sermons, when it should be the Word of God faithfully interpreted and preached that should be shaping our response to the culture. In his excellent book, “Faithful Leaders and the Things That Matter Most”, Rico Tice tells leaders that the preacher God approves of,  according to second Timothy two fifteen, is the one who correctly handles the word of truth. Tice says that the faithful preaching of God's Word will feed souls, while false teaching feeds on souls. He writes, “False teaching dazzles, then it distorts, then it diverts, and finally it destroys.” In order to faithfully fulfill our nurturing responsibilities as Christian parents, we need to be regularly fed as we sit under the faithful preaching of God's Word. Are you at a church which upholds biblical authority?

If you're a youth worker or parent, you've been called to lead. As followers of Jesus Christ, learning to lead properly and to his glory is essential if we hope to nurture our kids in the Christian faith. I recently read a short little leadership book that took me on a deep and helpful journey into looking at who I am as a leader. The book, Faithful Leaders, And The Things That Matter Most is the most helpful leadership book I've ever read and I believe it would be for you, too. Stick with us as I engage in an energizing chat with the book's author, Rico Tice, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters. 

In this practical session, Rico Tice and Richard Borgonon share resources for evangelism in a world with increasing barriers to Christianity. Despite these obstacles, currently one-third of people are open to a conversation about the faith. Two foundational convictions should inform our evangelism- that the Lord is actively at work in the lives of non-Christians, preparing them to be open to the Word, and that God's Word is powerful to save. Christians must be effectively equipped to take God's Word to nonbelievers.

In this Q and A session, Rico Tice, Alistair Begg, and Sinclair Ferguson respond to questions from the attendees of the Basic Conference. Listen to these men laugh and teach together as they offer a gold mine of practical wisdom. Among other topics, they discuss their individual callings to pastoral ministry, the advantages and disadvantages to denominational ties, plagiarism, corporate worship, and words of concern and advice for the upcoming generation of pastors.

To “do the work of an evangelist,” as Paul urged his protégé Timothy to do, is often seen as an individual project—particularly, the specific work of individual pastors. However, as Rico Tice argues, the world needs the entire church body to engage in evangelism. In this talk, he surveys tools and techniques for accomplishing this task while making clear that God is the one who opens blind eyes and transforms lives.

Aprofunde sua devoção a Deus em fiel.in/devocionalDisse, porém, Rute: Não me instes para que te deixe e me obrigue a não seguir-te; porque, aonde quer que fores, irei eu e, onde quer que pousares, ali pousarei eu; o teu povo é o meu povo, o teu Deus é o meu Deus. (Rt 1.16)Há momentos ao longo da vida que exigem uma decisão. E, como o pastor e autor Rico Tice diz: “Somos as escolhas que fazemos”.Depois de ser atingida pela tripla tragédia de enterrar seu marido e seus dois filhos em Moabe, Noemi decidiu voltar para sua cidade natal, Belém. No entanto, em vez de forçar suas noras, Rute e Orfa, a voltarem com ela, Noemi pediu que permanecessem em sua própria terra natal, Moabe, voltassem para suas famílias, se casassem de novo e vivessem uma vida plena (Rt 1.8-9). Rute e Orfa foram repentinamente confrontadas com uma escolha transformadora.As vidas dessas três mulheres estavam entrelaçadas. Elas viveram uma com a outra, experimentaram a perda juntas, lamentaram juntas e choraram juntas. Por fim, Orfa escolheu ficar para trás, e Rute decidiu viajar para Belém com Noemi. Essencialmente, Orfa fez o que era esperado e sensato. Rute, por outro lado, abandonou o conhecido pelo desconhecido. Ela desistiu da probabilidade de se casar novamente para se agarrar à sogra idosa e indefesa.Rute entendeu que sua decisão não deveria ser guiada por familiaridade, segurança ou possibilidades de relacionamentos. Este momento moldaria sua vida e seu destino. Permanecer em Moabe significaria permanecer com os falsos deuses de sua criação e dar as costas a tudo o que ela presumivelmente descobriu por Noemi sobre o Deus de Abraão, de Isaque e de Jacó. O Deus de Noemi se tornou o Deus de Rute. É por isso que ela decidiu ficar ao lado de Noemi.A decisão de Rute no caminho para Belém aponta para o vale da decisão ao qual Jesus chama cada um de nós a ir: Vocês querem ser meus discípulos ou querem voltar à vida que conheceram? Quem é que vai abandonar seu pai e sua mãe e tudo o que conhece — tudo o que representa estabilidade e segurança — por minha causa? (veja Lc 14.26). Podemos dizer com confiança a Cristo: “Aonde quer que fores, irei eu”? Podemos declarar: “Embora o caminho a seguir não seja nem familiar nem popular, ainda assim o seguirei”?Esta não é uma decisão que tomamos apenas no momento da salvação. Nós a fazemos todos os dias de nossa vida: voltaremos aos nossos velhos caminhos pecaminosos ou seguiremos o caminho da verdade? Faremos sacrifícios e correremos riscos para seguir a Deus e servir o seu povo?A resposta ousada e fiel de Rute a essa escolha fundamental é um exemplo para nós ao considerarmos quais diplomas obter, quais carreiras seguir, como gastamos nosso tempo e com quem o gastamos, quanto dinheiro temos e como vamos administrá-lo, ou onde vamos viver e servir. Tais decisões, tomadas corretamente, nos marcarão como diferentes — como comprometidos sem reservas em seguir Jesus Cristo, aquele em quem de fato encontramos vida em abundância (Jo 10.10).--Devocional Verdade para a vida, por Alistair Begg | Editora Fiel.Conteúdo oferecido em parceria entre Truth For Life e Ministério Fiel.

“It may be that God is destroying the Church of England and who am I to stand in his way?  “The real tragedy would be if, in this traumatic, confusing time, if all of the evangelicals and the broader Orthodox group fall out with each other…  if we can bear with each other in our different strategies, then that will be what we need (in whatever the future in England is going to be), whether that's within the Church of England or outside. Charlie Skrine, the senior minister of All Souls Langham Place London, says his church (and other evangelical churches in the UK) are in a world of pain at the moment over the growing split in the Church of England. Mr Skrine, who is speaking at the Evangelical Fellowship in the Anglican Communion Conference in Sydney, says All Souls is united in it's commitment to biblical teaching on sexual ethics, but divided on what the best response should be. He says a third of All Souls members are wanting to leave the Church of England now, a third want to stay and fight (never leave), and a further third are confused, and this diversity of opinion is reflected in the staff team. Former All Souls evangelist Rico Tice has distanced himself from the Church of England, attends a Presbyterian Church, but retains Church of England Permission to Officiate. Rico said on the Gafcon 2018 livestream, of the gospel promoted by the Archbishop of Canterbury's Evangelism Team, “It's a different religion... and it's around whether scripture is authoritative in terms of human sexuality… I think it's a great wickedness to tell people who are on the road to destruction that they're not... if we have church leaders who are putting people on that road to destruction it's a salvation issue.. That's why we have to distance ourselves..." (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1482677891837392)Mr Skrine says in Revelation 2 Jesus says that his people must not tolerate sexual immorality. Mr Skrine says the bishops don't get it, but there are tiny glimmers of hope of a settlement, with bishops moving slowly reluctantly towards the conclusion that they need to give up authority and come to a settlement.He says the actions of the Bishop of London have united evangelical leaders within the London Church in a highly significant way with groups like All Souls, St Helens, Holy Trinity Brompton and Soma all standing side by side. Support the Show.--Become a regular financial supporter of The Pastor's Heart via Patreon.

What does it take for anyone to see who Jesus really is? And to understand why he came and to believe in him? As we see in Mark 8:11-30, it takes a miracle. Just as it took a miracle for a physically blind man to see, so it takes a miracle for us to see and understand anything spiritually. Title from quote by Rico Tice.

In today's podcast Dan interviews Rico Tice, an Anglican evangelist and perhaps best known for his book, Christianity Explored. Mr. Tice was born in Chile, raised in Uganda, and educated in England. He joined All Souls church in London, under the leadership of John Stott in 1994. Dan and Rico discuss why evangelism is so hard, the courage it takes to remain faithful to the gospel, and how reading scripture together with non-believers helps to create a pathway for conversation and conversion.

Bienvenue à l'épisode #311 de Coram Deo présenté en partenariat avec Publications Chrétiennes qui vous recommande deux livres: - Franck Segonne, L'évangélisation durable: https://publicationschretiennes.com/products/levangelisation-durable - Rico Tice, L'évangélisation en toute honnêteté: https://publicationschretiennes.com/products/levangelisation-en-toute-honnetete ➡️ DESCRIPTION: L'évangélisation est-elle un commandement, un mode de vie ou une activité spécifique? Se pourrait-il que notre conception de l'évangélisation soit davantage influencée par notre culture évangélique que par la Bible elle-même? Dans cette émission, j'ai la joie de recevoir Franck Segonne pour réfléchir et apporter des réponses et des conseils judicieux pour une évangélisation durable et biblique! QUESTIONS: 1. Dans ton livre tu nous propose une vision pour l'évangélisation DURABLE. Ce qualificatif n'est pas accidentel et contraste avec une vision superficielle de l'évangélisation qui, si elle n'est pas forcément enseigner, est souvent pratiquée dans nos milieux. Peux-tu nous dire pourquoi tu as choisi ce titre? 2. Peux-tu définir ce que l'Écriture entend par "évangélisation"? S'agit-il d'une activité en particulier ou d'un ensemble d'activités? 3. Tu présentes une conclusion surprenante, à savoir qu'il n'existe pas vraiment un commandement pour évangéliser dans le NT... Peux-tu nous en dire plus et d'où vient notre impression qu'il y a bien un commandement pour évangéliser? 4. Tu identifies sept freins à l'évangélisation (dans le contexte français)... Peux-tu nous en dire quelques mots en développant peut-être les éléments qui t'apparaissent les plus significatifs? 5. Comment une Église peut-elle développer une approche long terme pour l'évangélisation plutôt qu'une approche ponctuelle?

Have you ever read a line or two in a book that forced you to stop in your tracks and pause to reflect on the power and truth of the words you just read? I was recently reading Rico Tice's book, “Faithful Leaders and the things that matter most.” It's a book about growing in faith as we develop the kind of leadership skills that will benefit those we lead, including our children and teens. Tice tells the story of chatting with a woman after a funeral at which an older lady asked him, “Rico, do you know what failure is?” “No – tell me” he answered. Tice says that what she said next has stuck with him forever. “Failure is being successful at the things that don't matter.” Parents, our culture is spinning a narrative about success that is enticing, seductive, and compelling to all of us, parents and kids alike. I want to encourage you to evaluate everything you see and hear in today's culture under the truth-filled light of God's Word. It is there and only there where we will understand what really matters.

Richard Borgonon is the author of Word 1-2-1.  He presented at the recent Gafcon Conference in Kigali, Rwanda alongside Christianity Explored's Rico Tice on how a church might have an integrated evangelistic strategy incorporating both an evangelistic course and a program where members are encouraged to personally evangelise their friends through personal bible reading. After Rico Tice headed off for a coffee, we sat down to ask Richard how might this work.http://www.thepastorsheart.net/podcast/attractional-and-missional-richard-borgonon Support the show--To make a one off contribution to support The Pastor's Heart's ministry go to this link, or to become a regular Patreon supporter click here.

Como el pastor no formuló respuesta, la señora emitió su propia respuesta: "El fracaso es tener éxito en las cosas que no importan". Ese episodio indujo al pastor Tice a dar la siguiente definición de éxito: "El éxito es escuchar 'bien hecho' de los únicos labios que importan". * Estas definiciones no armonizan completamente con los esquemas que modelan nuestra civilización; sin embargo, creo que sería difícil, sobre todo para un creyente, rebatir lo dicho por el pastor Tice y la anciana.Las Escrituras aluden a seres humanos que tuvieron éxito, pero que fueron unos fracasados; ya gente que fracasó, pero tuvo éxito. ¿No resulta eso un poco paradójico? Veamos un ejemplo: Jacob se había propuesto obtener la primogenitura por las buenas o por las malas. ¿Lo modificaron? ¡Por supuesto! Pero, al conseguir lo que quería, ¿fue exitoso? No, porque esa acción no armonizaba con la voluntad del Señor. Jacob fracasó al suponer que podría ser exitoso en la tierra sin contar con la aprobación del cielo.Para Jesús, el verdadero éxito radica en estar presente cuando se pronuncian estas palabras: "Bien, buen siervo y fiel; sobre poco ha sido fiel, sobre mucho te pondré. Entra en el gozo de tu señor" (Mateo 25:21). Desde la perspectiva celestial, la persona genuinamente exitosa es la que se empeña en que cada una de sus acciones terrenales se abordan en lo que es importante para Dios y en tratar de que lo que hagamos tenga una etiqueta divina que diga: "Bien hecho" .Pablo le dijo al joven Timoteo: "Procura con diligencia presentarte a Dios aprobado, como obrero que no tiene de qué avergonzarse, que usa bien la palabra de verdad" (2 Timoteo 2:15). La aprobación divina ha de ser nuestra meta en todo lo que hagamos. El sabio Salomón declara: "Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, y él enderezará tus veredas" (Proverbios 3:6, RV60); es decir, "ten presente al Señor en todo lo que hagas", como lo expresa la versión bíblica, Dios habla hoy. A los que buscamos el éxito siguiendo los caminos torcidos de este mundo, el Señor nos ha prometido la mejor ruta si comenzamos a enfocarnos en lo que le importa al cielo. Si lo hacemos, muy pronto oiremos el único "bien hecho" que importa, el que saldrá de los labios de nuestro Padre.*Rico Tice, Faithful Leaders: And the Things That Matter Most (Surrey, Inglaterra: The Good Book Company, 2021),

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, isn’t it? But for many of our friends, it’s a time with nothing more to offer than presents, egg nog, and songs about Santa and Frosty. On this episode’s conversation with Rico Tice, we explore how to offer people the best news they can ever hear - the very heart of what Christmas is all about.

Some significant changes are coming up for The Payneful Truth. I'll talk about those changes below, but first (and more importantly) to this week's topic and guest.A conversation on evangelism with John LavenderOne of the things I've loved most about doing The Payneful Truth over the past couple of years is the interaction with readers and listeners. Of all those who've sent in encouraging comments and questions, the prize for quantity with quality easily goes to John Lavender. John is a church planter and minister here in Sydney, who has been working over the last couple of years with Evangelism and New Churches (an organization within the Sydney Anglican diocese that promotes and resources evangelism). His main job over the past couple of years has been to visit churches and work with them to encourage and improve evangelism, and for a while now I've been wanting to talk with him about what he's learned doing this. What's the state of play around Sydney evangelistically? Here's an edited version of the conversation John and I recently had.TP: John, in your work with ENC, you get quite a picture of what's happening evangelistically in churches around Sydney. We keep being told in the media that Christianity is declining (as the Census data apparently tells us) and that all is doom and gloom. But where do you see good things happening?JL:  I hear so many good news stories. Little things like a guy who meets a new neighbour, strikes up a conversation and boldly asks him to read the Bible with him. And the neighbour says yes, and so he works through the Bible with him, and invites him to church.Or a group of ladies who meet new people who move into their street, provide meals for them, and then invite them to church.I see lots of little things like that where people take the initiative to invite, to read the Bible—that's wonderful.In terms of the bigger picture, some of the churches I've visited are just so committed to helping people come to know Jesus. They have a really good structure: there's good training, the church is welcoming, you arrive and are followed up, the vibe is good, people show interest in you, the sermon is engaging, and you're invited into a follow-up course. It's really good! There are churches where there are only one or two converted every now and then, but I've been in other contexts that are having 10 or 20 or 30 new people coming each week, where there are significant numbers of people hearing, responding, and wanting to hear more. It's very encouraging.TP: What about where it's not working so well. What weaknesses have you seen?JL: This can be a bit sad, because you see people who aren't gripped by who Jesus is, or they don't see they have a role to play in speaking about Jesus. There are churches that just haven't connected at all with their suburb or the community around them, and that's really sad. Some churches aren't really sure how to actively reach the people around them. The people are reluctant or afraid or not sure how to bring Jesus into an everyday conversation.But I'm encouraged because the ministers will say me to me, “John, can you help us? How can we raise the evangelistic temperature at our church? How can the congregation be better equipped? How can we connect with people, and follow them up?”  It's encouraging that they see the problems, and want to give it a crack.  TP: What do you think is the main problem?JL: Before I point at others I want to think about myself.  Two passages I'm passionate about are 2 Cor 4 and 2 Cor 5.In 2 Cor 4, the contrast is between the temporary things of this world and eternity, and I'm just so conscious how often I've got my eyes set on the things of this world rather than on eternity.In 2 Cor 5, Paul talks about being compelled or convinced of Christ's love—I want to be convinced and compelled by that every day! He talks about the urgency. As I think about myself and our churches, I'm conscious that we're lured into chasing the things of this world. We're not fully convinced of the need to be Christ's ambassadors (as 2 Cor 5 says); we're not gripped by the urgency of the whole thing. I want to work hard to change the focus; to help people see that eternity is at stake; to be convinced and compelled by what Christ has done for us.  That's what I want to encourage people and churches to be on about.I think the other issue is love. I've been reading Before you Share your Faith by Matt Smethurst, and reckons that one of the major reasons is simply that we don't love people. What a slap in the face that is! If we loved people we'd be ready to talk to them about Jesus and about their future and about why Jesus is so good.TP: How do you address this? How do you raise the temperature of evangelism and love and conviction?JL:  Well, one way would be by working through chapters like 2 Cor 4 and 5! Another one is Matt 9, where Jesus sees the people harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. It's encouraging them to look out, and to seek to have Jesus' vision of the world. To go back to 2 Cor 4—I've heard Rico Tice talk about how Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the glory of Christ. He has this line, “We preach Christ, and God opens blind eyes”.  I want to help people see that we're involved in this kind of spiritual battle. Will we pray for the people that God brings across our path, that we'd be bold enough to speak to them about Jesus? And to pray that as we speak to them, God would open their blind eyes, and unblock their deaf ears, and soften their hard hearts so that they would be able to see the glory of Christ.That's what I talk about with people. Will you be bold? Will you pray? Will you ‘cross the pain line', as Rico Tice says, to bring Jesus into the conversation? And whether you get hostility or hunger, keep talking to people about Jesus.TP: What about practical ideas? What sort of approaches do you recommend?JL: Jesus calls people to ‘fish for people'. These days, we do a lot of our fishing on our own—we sit in a boat on our own, or go down to the rock ledge on our own. But a lot of 1st century fishing was done together.I want to encourage churches to do more fishing together—to set up groups of 2, 5, or 10 people, to work together in evangelism. It means that as a group they are praying for connections and contacts; they can share their frustrations and disappointments; they can pray for people they're having conversations with; they can do things together, like lunches and dinners to invite people to. To have groups and structures like that in place is really helpful I think. Fishing alone can be discouraging, but fishing in a group is a very helpful structure and strategy.Over the years, I've also been a real fan of Christianity Explained. We adapted it into something that was done over four weeks. You bring a friend along to sit in with you. (We found it hard to get people to commit to longer than four weeks.)Those sorts of evangelistic courses can be really helpful. But I've also become more aware recently of the power of the simple question: ‘Would you like to read the Bible with me?'.  There are some excellent resources for this, like The Word One to One. I know of churches that get people together for wine and cheese, and then everyone sits down one-to-one and works through the Gospel of John. I've heard terrific stories of people using The Word One to One to read the Bible with friends and workmates.TP: As a variation on that, one of the structures a number of campus ministries are using these days is evangelistic Bible-reading triplets. So the question you ask is not ‘Would you like to read the Bible with me?' but ‘I'm going to be reading the Bible with my friend, Geoff. Would you like to join us?' Sometimes this is an easier invitation. And having a third person in the conversation can often help.JL: Yes, there are so many good resources and approaches. All the work you've done on reworking the Two ways to live material, for example, is really useful. It helps people to have clarity about what the gospel really is, and what the different aspects of the gospel mean. It's a framework to guide the conversation.I also encourage people to develop their own 20-30 second testimony about the difference that Jesus has made to them, so that they can explain in just 30 seconds who Jesus is, what he's done, and the difference he has made in my life.In my observation, churches that are doing well have a good mix of ‘Go and tell' and ‘Come and see'. They're equipping their people to go out in the world and talk about Jesus, but also have good structures and opportunities for inviting people to events and courses and church and so on.TP: John, all this has been your own life over many decades. You've planted and grown an evangelistically vibrant church in Sydney's West. Looking back over all that work, what would you do differently?JL: I've recently been reading the book of Acts. There were things that came up for the early church that could easily have distracted them—persecution from outside; opposition from within; problems with leadership. Those distractions could have distracted them from proclaiming Jesus.I think this is what happens in real life. Looking back, I'd want to be more alert to the fact that distractions will come and derail things. They just do. I would have liked to be more conscious and aware of these, and to stay focused; to be like the apostles in Acts 6, who address the issue and remain devoted to their main ministry.As a church grows, it's also very easy to move from mission mode to maintenance mode. Maintaining the trellis takes a lot of time. So I'd say that one of the things I learned over time is the importance of maintaining the discipline to stay in mission mode; to not let distractions divert me.Some exciting changes for The Payneful TruthOver the past couple of months I've been thinking about this newsletter/podcast, and where to take it from here. I've had two main thoughts:* I'd like to keep doing it! In God's kindness, I think it's been worthwhile.* I'd like to find a partner in crime—someone to work with regularly, not just to share the load, but so that mine is not the only voice that you hear.Well, it turns out that I've found a partner in crime—an old crim that I've done many jobs with in the past: Phillip Jensen.Phillip has recently started a podcast and has been looking for ways to improve and grow it. It seemed a logical step for the two of us to join forces again, and see what we could do together. And given that Phillip has a nice, gospel-sounding name for his ministry (Two Ways Ministries), it also gave me a chance to change the name (I've never been totally happy with The Payneful Truth).So, in few weeks time, The Payneful Truth will relaunch as Two Ways News. (The new site address will be twoways.news)I'll still be editing and driving the weekly newsletter, and will write the main article every second week. On the alternative week, Phillip will generate the main content. And each week we'll have a podcast conversation together, in which we will talk through whatever the week's topic happens to be.We're also planning to bring in other voices, and we have ideas for additional podcasts and content down the track. But all that will develop as we go along.What will it mean for you?Things will stay mostly the same. You don't have to re-subscribe or change anything. I'll basically just be changing the name of the newsletter/podcast and joining up with Phillip as a regular partner.But there will be one practical change:Every edition of Two Ways News will be available free, every weekWe've decided to change things up a bit regarding who gets what, and how the paid subscription side of things will work. The weekly newsletter and podcast will be available free for anyone who wants it—either by signing up to receive the weekly email newsletter or by subscribing to the podcast in your app of choice.Those who are currently paid subscribers will become members of a new Supporters Club. Supporters Club members will get some special benefits (like bonus content), but the main reason to become a Supporter is … that you want to support me in doing the work! It will be less of a paywall and more of a gospel partnership.So if you're currently a free subscriber or free podcast listener—you don't need to do anything. When we relaunch, you'll just be getting more content from us than before. And if you'd like to join the Supporters Club at some point, you'll be able to do so at whatever amount you can afford.The timelineThere's still a bit of work to do in getting the new thing together, and I'm also due to be away on holidays for a couple of weeks in late September and early October. So the plan over the next few weeks is as follows:* This will be the final edition of the newsletter/podcast under the ‘Payneful Truth' name. I'll be pressing pause while I do the work needed for the changeover and go on holidays for a couple of weeks.* The first edition of Two Ways News will drop on Thursday, October 13.I hope all that makes sense. Please get in touch if you have any questions.Thanks again for reading and listening. I'm really looking forward to whatever God has in store for us next.TP This is a public episode.

In this bonus episode, Ollie chats to evangelist Rico Tice about sharing the Gospel in a hostile culture. Listen and be encouraged as Rico outlines the Biblical motivation for evangelism, and provides us with plenty of practical advice.

If you've ever been at a loss for how to spark dinner table conversation with your kids, I want to offer a little help. All this week I'm sharing provocative quotes that can spark conversations about the Christian faith and things that really matter. Here's a quote worth discussing from Rico Tice: “We are the choices that we make.” That's a reality that all of us should ponder, embrace, and act upon. Share the quote, and then ask family members to think of two examples of how a choice has influenced the direction of their lives. First, think of a good choice that has led into positive spiritual growth. Then, think of a choice that wound up having negative or disastrous consequences. Then, take the time to consider how to make good choices. What are some steps that the Bible tells us will lead to making good choice? Are there traps that we must avoid? With so many voices calling for our allegiance, help your kids hear the life-giving voice of Jesus as guides us into making good choices.

  When Sophie De Witt first encountered the gospel of Jesus, she found it strange and unnerving. Despite her initial resistance to what she had deemed intellectually ridiculous - something that would have been reinforced in daily lectures by her uni professor, renowned atheist, Richard Dawkins - Sophie became less convinced of her own position as she encountered more evidence for the truth of the Bible. It was God working through friends and evangelists like Rico Tice and John Chapman that led her to finally put her trust in Jesus. Listen to her story here as she speaks to Taryn Hayes of how she has learned to cling to Christ more and more through many of life's obstacles..   EPISODE NOTES Like so many, Sophie De Witt finally committed her life to trusting Jesus after hearing a series of talks in the UK by the much-loved, Australian evangelist, Chappo. Today, she partners with her husband, Chris, in a number of gospel ways including raising their three children, Molly, Zach and JoJo, in South Africa. Together with others, Chris and Sophie are co-founders of Hope Training Course, Hope Central Church and of Grace Primary School, a school following a Charlotte Mason approach to education. Whilst facing health issues, ADD and an increasingly frustrating struggle with what she calls ‘Compulsive Comparison Syndrome', Sophie undertook to find out what the Bible had to say about her struggle. Compared to Her (The Good Book Company) is the result of her research. She is also the author of a discipleship Bible-reading handbook called One to One: Discipleship Handbook (Authentic Media). On her days off, she loves going on family walks or sightseeing outings, reading and definitely also watching TV, ideally whilst eating chocolate! This interview was recorded in early 2019.   LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Grace Primary School Hope Central Church Charlotte Mason For the Children's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macauley Prayer Mate App Solid Joys App by John Piper John Chapman (Chappo) Sophie's Books: Compared to Her & One to One Handbook Grow Women's Conference 2020 – Grow Chats   SHOW SNIPPETS: "I'd never interrogated my own beliefs about spirituality or life. The more I did, I realised I had no evidence and no coherence in it. More and more, what I was reading in the Bible and (other) seemed coherent. But it meant a big lifestyle change and I wasn't willing for that. So, what started off as intellectual ended up as being a kind of submission, trust issue. And then it was in my third year, we had a big mission there and it was headed up by none other than Chappo, John Chapman, from Australia…."   "Well, I think what's encouraging to me, and especially when I talk to young people, and when we did student work, is that I was one of those students who ridiculed, was hostile, rejected, laughed, disagreed. And yet this Lord still got me! (I) encourage people just to persevere. And those are the very people you thank now and for eternity."   "Comparison is something that I struggled with generally … not growing up with a Christian framework."   "From her book, Compared to Her: “I am a recovering Compulsive Comparison Syndrome sufferer. It causes me to feel envy, despair, pride and superiority. It cuts away at my relationship with God, with my loved ones, and with myself. It has promised me contentment, and yet robbed me of it. And although I don't know you at all, I'm fairly sure you have CCS, too. That's not meant to sound rude. It's just that I've rarely met a woman who doesn't struggle with it.”     Can't see clickable links? Copy and paste this into your browser: tlpcwcw.podbean.com
