Podcasts about sharing our faith

Why did God call our church into existence? Aren't there already more than enough churches in the world? What is our unique vision and mission? This Sunday we'll wrap up our “Called Together” sermon series by exploring those questions – because the truth is: God has given us an AMAZING and COMPELLING mission! And we get to be part of it!

“How come you still believe?” That’s the most common question Justin Brierley has been asked over the years of presenting his faith debate radio show, on the largest Christian broadcasting network in the U.K. Gleaning from hundreds of conversations with atheists and Christians, skeptics and believers, he will make his case for faith. Having heard the objections and evidence from the world's leading thinkers, he will show why he believes Christianity remains the best explanation of life, the universe... and everything.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all need to learn to share our faith and make it accessible and relatable to others

‘Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.'—Matthew 5:16

‘Seek ye the Lᴏʀᴅ while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near'—Isaiah 55:6‘Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.'—Proverbs 27:1

‘… be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord.'—Isaiah 52:11‘Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.'—Acts 8:35‘For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance…'—1 Thessalonians 1:5

‘For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;‘And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures'—1 Corinthians 15:3 & 4

Have you ever wondered why Christians share their faith with others?

A 2021 study by Lifeway Research found that 66% of Americans are at least open to discussing the Christian faith with a friend. Forty percent said they were very open to the conversation.   That compares with a third of respondents who said they were not at all open to a social media conversation about Christian ...

Suppose someone were to ask you why they should believe in Jesus? What would you say? C.S. Lewis once said, “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important." Given how much is at stake, why should a person believe? That's the question we'll wrestle with on Sunday.

In this latest episode of the PCI podcast, Jonny McClune, PCI's Congregational Witness Development Officer, explores with Darin and Joy Stevens from the organisation Start to Stir, why sharing our faith with our friends can be so challenging.  We can see examples in the Bible of people who struggled to speak up for God like Moses and Jonah but we take time to explore on the podcast the things that are holding us back today and how we can have more confidence to share Jesus with those around us. This podcast also highlights the Stirring Spiritual Curiosity event happening on the morning of Tuesday 28 January 2025 from 10.30am to 12.45pm in Assembly Buildings, Belfast, at which Darin and Joy will be opening up this theme further.  Further details and booking can be found here: www.presbyterianireland.org/stir This event is free but you do need to pre-register.

SHARING OUR FAITH IN THE TWELVE STEP ROOMS. The conversation revolves around the topic of sharing one's faith within the 12-step community without offending others. They also touch on the idea of being a 'secret agent Christian' and the challenges of openly sharing one's faith in meetings. The hosts emphasize the need for informed and experienced members to provide guidance and sponsorship to newcomers. They also discuss the importance of understanding the context of scripture and not taking it out of context. Overall, the conversation explores the balance between sharing one's faith and respecting the beliefs of others in the 12-step community. In this conversation, The Monty Man and Roger M McDiarmid discuss various topics related to recovery and faith. They touch on the concept of being recovered versus recovering, the role of religion in recovery, and the importance of sharing one's faith. They also address the controversy surrounding the Olympics and emphasize the need for Christians to focus on their own actions rather than judging others. The conversation concludes with a song about outside issues. Overall, the conversation highlights the power of recovery and the importance of living a Christlike life. #higherpower #aa #na #alcoholicsanonymous #recovery #recovered #alcoholic #twelvesteps #wedorecover #narcoticsanonymous #addiction #bigbook 

Jesus constantly gave away power. Jesus modeled behavior for his disciples then sent them out. Jesus invites us to create belonging for people who do not believe. How do we do that?

Why did the duck cross the road? To get to the other side of course. But how we treat a duck crossing the road ought to convict us as to how we treat people who are in harms way because they don't know Jesus.

What is the best way to reach people for Jesus? Share your personal faith journey! In this conversation, Pastor Chris Hodges discusses the importance of sharing your faith and reaching out to those who are far from God. He emphasizes the need for personal evangelism and teaching church members how to share their faith. The conversation highlights the key principles of recognizing God-given moments, refocusing on how we live our lives, and relaying the message of hope to a broken world.

Have I told you this week how much my family loved Duck Dynasty? It was/is such a genius way to get people laughing while still instilling biblical truth and good old fashioned family values. The prayers around the table at the end of each show still get me.    Today I have the privilege of chatting with Willie Robertson about all things Duck Dynasty, and it's far past due since I've interviewed basically everyone in his family except for him.    Willie's stories are amazing, including how he tried to fire Cy, how Duck Dynasty got started, and how he got Phil signed on to the idea of reality TV.     But Willie is really passionate about sharing his faith, and that's a big part of our conversation today. He talks about how his parents instilled this in his life, and how he's trying to do that for his children as well. Willie's new book Gospeler (which I mispronounced all throughout the show

In this episode, Pastor dives into the story of Paul's ministry in Ephesus, where he faced powers and principalities of darkness.

It can sometimes be hard to share the gospel with a culture that seems to speak a language different from the one we speak at church. But Jesus is calling us to do exactly that. As an evangelist and church planter, Shauna Pilgreen has firsthand experience translating Jesus to a culture desperate to hear his truth. On today's episode of Unapologetic, Julianne sits down with Shauna to break it all down for us. Shauna and her husband lead Epic Church in San Francisco, one of the most secular and diverse cities in the country. Given that experience, Shauna knows exactly what it takes to translate the gospel in a way anyone can understand, whether that's to your Uber driver, the barista at your favorite coffee shop, or—sometimes most challenging of all—your own family and friends. During this candid conversation, Julianne asks Shauna to share some of the ways Christians speak our own language (that we may not even be aware of), where we can start when it comes to translating Jesus to those around us, and practical tips for overcoming awkwardness or discomfort when it comes to talking about our faith. This whole episode is filled with incredible stories from Shauna of the ways she's seen Jesus move in the lives of those you'd least expect. We're all called to share the good news of Jesus with whoever we meet—this encouraging conversation will equip you with the tools needed to do exactly that! Shauna's newest book—Translating Jesus—is available everywhere now! Connect with her on Instagram or learn more at shaunapilgreen.com.
