To be ambassadors for Christ on the mission of reconciliation, making disciples of the nations. Sound like a big job? Thankfully we are in this together and the Holy Spirit is doing His work in and through us. Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1 The Biblical Mandate • Matthew 28:18-20 – Jesus commands us to make disciples of all nations. • Key Question: Why does the church exist? • Not just for programs, services, or buildings—It exist as the body of Jesus to Cary out his mission of reconciliation in the world, practically, for disciple-making. • Every believer is called to participate (not just pastors). ⸻ .1 Clarify the Win for the Team Question: What does success look like for our church? • Colossians 1:28-29 – “Present everyone mature in Christ.” • Ephesians 4:11-13 – Equip saints until maturity and unity in faith. • Goals: • Define “disciple” (follower of Jesus growing in obedience, reproducing). Everyone needs to know the goal of Christ-likeness and have some idea of the path that leads there. • Create a shared vision and language (everyone knows what the goal is). It is a team effort, we need each other and simple, clear communication is important. • Success = transformed lives, not just attendance numbers. ⸻ .2 Give Them Tools for the Win How do we equip every believer to evangelize and disciple? • 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – Scripture equips believers for every good work. • Ephesians 4:12 – Leaders equip saints for ministry. • Acts 1:8 – Empowered by the Spirit to witness. • Goals: • Provide simple gospel tools (testimony, “3 Circles,” Romans Road, DBS). • Train in basic disciple habits (prayer, Bible, fellowship, serving). • Help members discover spiritual gifts (Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12). ⸻ .3 Radical Clarity About Mission How do we keep the vision in front of us? • Habakkuk 2:2 – “Write the vision; make it plain.” • John 20:21 – “As the Father has sent me, I send you.” • Matthew 5:13-16 – Salt and light in the world. • Goals: • Constantly repeat the mission (sermons, meetings, ministries). • Celebrate wins (testimonies, baptisms, gospel impact stories). • Evaluate ministries: Does this move us toward Christ-likeness and help us make disciples? ⸻ .4 Create Systems that Self-Correct and stay on task How do we design processes that keep us on mission? • Acts 6:1-7 – Church creates structure to meet needs and continue growth. • 1 Corinthians 14:40 – “Do all things decently and in order.” • Goals: • Build reproducible models (small groups, one-on-one mentorship). • Review regularly and adjust to stay on mission. • Systems should serve people, not the other way around.

Read 1 Peter 1: 3-51. How did the theme of “Becoming a Little More Like Jesus” during Lent impact yourpersonal walk with Christ? Which weekly key word resonated most with you andwhy?2. The sermon mentioned the phrase, “A lot can happen in seven days.” How does thetransition from the despair of Good Friday to the joy of Easter Sunday help youunderstand the concept of “Living Hope”?3. Imagine being in Mary Magdalene's shoes—what thoughts or emotions might youhave experienced upon finding the empty tomb? How does her encounter with therisen Christ shape your understanding of hope?4. Pastor Mick said Easter is “proof that good overcomes evil...light overcomesdarkness.” What personal experiences or moments have reminded you of this truthin your own life?5. The Message translation of the passage says, “we've been given a brand-new lifeand have everything to live for.” What does this “brand-new life” look like for youpractically?6. The quote, “He didn't wait for me to get it right. He died knowing I couldn't, andloved me anyway,” was highlighted as a summary of the gospel. What does thisreveal about the nature of God's mercy? How does that change how you seeyourself? How does that change how you see others?7. If Jesus has done all the heavy lifting, why do you think our response of faith is stillessential? What does “faith” look like in your day-to-day life?8. Have you ever fallen into the trap of trying to earn God's love or approval, even afterbecoming a Christian? What helps you shift your mindset back to grace?9. The sermon introduced the “Romans Road to Salvation.” Which verse from that pathspeaks most deeply to you right now, and why? (Romans 3: 10, 3: 23, 5: 8, 6: 23,10: 9-10, 10: 13)10. “Living Hope” is not just for Easter Sunday—it's for every day. What does it mean foryou to carry that hope into your relationships, challenges, and daily routines?Prayer for the Week:Gracious and merciful God, we thank You for the gift of Living Hope through theresurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ. As we reflect on the journey from the cross to theempty tomb, we are reminded that You meet us in our weakness with grace that neverfails. Help us to live each day in the truth that we don't have to earn Your love—you'vealready given it freely. Strengthen our faith to trust in Your promises, and guide us towalk in the new life You've made possible, sharing Your hope with a world still in need ofYour marvelous light. May our hearts continue to become a little more like Jesus and alittle less like ourselves, anchored always in Your love and mercy. We pray all of this inthe name of our risen Savior and Lord, Jesus the Christ. Amen.

Sharing the gospel is central to the Great Commission. But doing so on a day-to-day basis is more complicated than we often want to admit. It's definitely more complex than just memorizing the Romans Road or learning a three-step approach for door-to-door witnessing. So in this episode, we want to ask two different questions about sharing the gospel: first, we want to ask why don't we do it, and second, how should we change the way we think about sharing the gospel?Listen to the audio version here: https://theconqueringtruth.com/2025/04/what-stops-christians-from-sharing-the-gospel-ep-213-audio/Timecodes00:00:00 Failure to Evangelize00:08:36 False Fears00:11:33 Belief in Hell00:14:53 Disobedience00:19:59 Gifting vs Practice00:26:48 Different Venues00:35:36 Hospitality00:40:04 Ready to Give an Answer00:49:28 Listening00:58:17 Answer a Fool01:21:59 Using God's WordProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

Greg explains that the "Romans Road," a handful of cherry-picked verses from the first half of Paul's Letter to the Romans, is the interpretive lens for man Protestants. They read the words of Jesus through this limited view of Paul. But when he began reading Paul through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and parables, Catholicism lept of the pages. And the Protestant Romans Road became his Road to Catholic Rome. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!

This week, we pause to share our grief with you as we deal with the loss of Amber's dad. We have assurance, however, that he is with Jesus right now! Amber had the chance a few years ago to share the gospel with him, and he came to Christ that night. And so, we glory in that peace - that one day, we will all be together again!

The Romans Road to Salvation Rudy Cerda on X: "This video will never get old. The gospel of Jesus Christ explained in 2 minutes. https://t.co/FF9WlURd2a" Justin Giboney on X: "Pastors and Christian leaders are entitled to their opinion. But expressing partisan opinions from the pulpit is dangerous. Claiming half the country is associated with a demonic cult is slanderous, which God condemns. How we vote matters, but it doesn't make us righteous. https://t.co/3MXhaQGxvD" David Platt on X: "There are more people unreached by the gospel today than ever before in history. That's more people being born, living, dying, and going to eternal suffering without ever even hearing how they can have eternal life in Jesus. That's happening on our watch. https://t.co/nai5repI9k"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
During today's conversation on Back Porch Theology we're getting granular about the divine, salvific grace Paul riffs on early in his letter to the Romans. We're going to take a long pause in our collective amble down the Romans Road so as to marinate in the concept of justification. We're going to do an in-depth review of how the sinless life and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ made it possible for rebellious, sin-riddled yahoos like us to be reconciled with a perfectly righteous God. Because all too often we church folk tend to volley multi-syllabic theological terms like “justification” and “sanctification” and “propitiation” amongst ourselves like innocuous doctrinal pickle balls without giving too much thought to the grief and gravitas they represent. In much the same way we blithely wear crosses as mere jewelry or prominently display it in the form of a hip tattoo, forgetting what that Roman torture device – equivalent to a medieval guillotine or modern-day electric chair, which I can't imagine someone wearing as a fashion statement – represents…that the King of all kings chose to leave His throne in glory, condescend to human form and humble circumstances, only to be betrayed and abandoned by His closest friends and ultimately have stakes hammered into His feet and wrists so He could be suspended in the air like a human shish-kabob while a cruel mob jeered His torture and subsequent murder because Jesus knew His blood was the necessary price that had to be paid in order to justify – to make us right – with God. We're not going to skip past the hard facts of what He sacrificed for our redemption today y'all because quite honestly doing so mitigates the miracle of our salvation. So please grab a great big mug of strong coffee and your Bible – unless of course you're in the hot-wax stage of a manicure – and come ponder the audacious kindness of King Jesus on the porch with Alli, Dr. Howard and me.
