Sometimes God calls us to surrender something precious. Other times He asks us to step beyond what feels comfortable to share the Gospel, serve His Kingdom, or obey a command we do not fully understand. Whatever the assignment, genuine faith eventually comes to the same conclusion: God must be obeyed. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to the story of Noah in Genesis 6 and 7. God gave Noah an extraordinary command—to build an ark in preparation for a flood that had not yet come. The task was enormous and perplexing, yet Scripture records Noah's remarkable response: “Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.” Noah did more than build. He trusted God's Word, persevered in obedience, and proclaimed righteousness to those around him. His life became both an act of faith and a warning to others. In the same way, believers today are called to build their lives on Christ while inviting others to receive the salvation He offers. Noah was not perfect, but his faith produced action. That is the mark of authentic trust in God. Anyone can claim to believe, but living faith obeys—even when the road is difficult, the assignment feels overwhelming, or the outcome remains unseen. Where is God calling you to step out in faith today? Trust His Word, obey His voice, and leave the results in His hands. Prayer: God, help me to have the kind of faith that Noah had—faith that leads to obedience no matter how overwhelming the task. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith” (Hebrews 11:7). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Should we feel responsible for someone's response to the gospel? In this episode, Emma Dotter discusses Paul's response to those rejecting the gospel in Acts 18:1-28. She dives into the Old Testament context surrounding Paul's response. Emma challenges listeners to consider any fears/excuses they may have when sharing the gospel.

What does it really look like to share the Gospel in everyday life?In this episode of The Praying Wife Podcast, Corain Cash continues the August theme, *Expanding God's Territory*, with a practical conversation on bold evangelism. Sharing Jesus is not only about preaching from a platform, it happens through the way we live, the words we speak, and the testimony we carry.Using Romans 1:16 as the foundation, this episode encourages believers to stop allowing fear, insecurity, or feelings of inadequacy to keep them silent. You don't have to know every answer or have a dramatic testimony to tell someone what Jesus has done in your life.*Live it. Say it. Tell it.* The Gospel is still the power of God unto salvation, and God can use your life and your story to lead someone closer to Him.Enjoyed This Episode or Have Feedback?

Think sharing the gospel means pointing out sin first? This teaching shows that's not what God asks, and never was. You'll hear how to reflect the Holy Spirit in how you talk to people—the same way people did in the book of Acts, where thousands came to Christ without a single threat or guilt trip. You'll leave this teaching with a simpler way to share your faith.
More than 75% of new Christians were introduced to the Gospel through a friend or family member. Clearly it's effective to share with people with whom we have a relationship.

Episode Summary Missions do not begin only across an ocean; they begin wherever God has placed a believer. In this GoMission interview, retired police officer Bill Chaney tells Mark Gillmore how weekly soulwinning became a way of life and followed him into daily police work. His testimony of compassionate witness, workplace opposition, and trust under authority challenges every Christian to reject the fear of man and speak for Christ where they are. Topics Discussed Discipleship and weekly soulwinning Bringing the gospel into daily police work Showing compassion to vulnerable people Facing discipline after sharing a gospel tract Responding respectfully to authority while trusting God Support from fellow officers How God reopened a closed door for witness Key Takeaways Every workplace and daily setting can become a mission field. Consistent discipleship builds habits of faithful Christian service. Personal evangelism begins with seeing people and caring about their greatest need. Respect for authority and confidence in God are not opposites. No closed door is beyond the ability of God to reopen. Courage begins with the next faithful opportunity to speak for Christ.

What is the true message of the Gospel, and how are we called to respond to it? In "The Power of the Gospel - Part II," Pastor Travis Aicklen continues the "Is This Thing On?" series by challenging us to step into a season of spiritual harvest. While the life of faith often requires us to wait well, there is also a time to move boldly when God calls us to act. Pastor Travis breaks down the core of the Gospel message and confronts the excuses we make for delaying evangelism. Tune in to the full message to discover how God is calling you to reach the lost people in your life.Key PointsOvercoming Our Excuses: We often delay sharing the Gospel because we expect hostility, feel unqualified to answer hard questions, or become too near-sighted with our own daily appetites. Jesus reminds us that the fields are already ripe for the harvest. (John 4).The Compassion of Christ: Jesus came for the lost, as illustrated by the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, showing that God's heart is set on rescuing those who are far from Him. (Luke 15).Finding Your 'One': Every believer is challenged to identify one specific person who is far from God, pray for them, and intentionally share the Gospel with them.Conclusion & Call to ActionAre you willing to push past your comfort zone and share the Good News with someone in your life? Stop waiting for "four more months" and recognize that the harvest is ready now. Find the courage and conviction to reach your "one".

Come discover the heartbeat of authentic gospel ministry in 1 Thessalonians 2, where Paul reveals how true messengers share not only the life-changing word of God but their very selves—with pure motives, mother-like gentleness, fatherly encouragement, hard-working integrity, and deep affection that turns ordinary people into eternal joy and crown at Christ's return. This powerful lesson invites you to examine your own heart, embrace sacrificial relationships, and live a faith that is both bold and tender, so that those you serve become your glory in the presence of the Lord.

What is the Gospel, and how does it advance in our world today? In this insightful message, Pastor Travis Aicklen dives into the Book of Acts to explore the undeniable power of the Gospel. Whether you are a longtime believer or just exploring faith, this sermon challenges us to understand how the Holy Spirit moves and how different people respond to the Good News. Tune in to the full message to discover how God might be calling you to reach the people in your own life.Key PointsHonoring the Word: Believers are called to pray that the word of the Lord speeds ahead, but we must also ensure it is honored and never watered down just to attract a crowd (2 Thessalonians 3).The First Sermon: After the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, Peter preached the very first Christian sermon in Acts 2, boldly declaring Jesus as both Lord and Christ to a diverse crowd.The True Response to the Gospel: A genuine encounter with the Gospel leaves people "cut to the heart," which leads to repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Spirit, and joining a devoted community (Acts 2).Different Paths to Faith: Using Acts 16 as a model, Pastor Travis highlights three distinct ways people come to Christ: through intellectual reasoning (Lydia), supernatural power encounters (the enslaved girl), or witnessing authentic Christian character in the midst of trials (the Roman jailer).Conclusion & Call to ActionTake a moment to consider the people in your life—are they looking for a logical appeal, a demonstration of God's power, or an authentic example of Christian living?

Episode Summary Judson and Janna Shoultz recount how a group of teenagers faced their fears and shared the gospel in mosques and other places of worship during a missions trip to Muslim communities in Michigan. Connecting their experiences with Israel's crossing of the flooded Jordan River in Joshua 3–4, they show that God often waits for His people to obey before He opens the way. This Faith Talks episode challenges young people to recognize the specific step God has put before them and to trust Him enough to take it. Topics Discussed Israel's crossing of the flooded Jordan River in Joshua 3–4 Teenagers sharing the gospel in mosques in Hamtramck and Dearborn, Michigan Developing a genuine burden for Muslims, Hindus, and others without the gospel Bringing the Bible into difficult gospel conversations The influence of Scripture and the Holy Spirit in a new believer's life Everyday steps of faith in witnessing, giving, prayer, and Christian obedience Key Takeaways Faith acts on God's direction before the circumstances change. God can use teenagers to speak biblical truth with courage, compassion, and clarity. Seeing spiritual darkness firsthand can deepen a believer's burden for lost people. The Word of God and the Holy Spirit equip believers for conversations that feel beyond them. A first step of obedience can become a defining moment that makes future steps easier.

People cannot call on the Jesus they do not believe in. They cannot believe in the Jesus they have never heard. And they cannot hear unless someone speaks. In this message from Romans 10, we look at why sharing the gospel is not optional, why good works do not replace the message of Jesus, and why silence is not love. The gospel is still the power of God for salvation, and the church is still called to speak.

Apologies this was posted out of order.Acts 13:42-52 Bible studyOne question I often receive is like this, “I have shared the gospel with this person many times, but they aren't interested. What should I do?”Should Christians keep trying to reach people who repeatedly reject the gospel? Or is there a time to move on and invest in others instead?Acts 13 gives a surprising answer that can transform the way you think about evangelism and discipleship.

After The War came to Fellowship Baptist Church, Bobby reflects on the joy of watching God use the next generation, especially as his son David recruited teens, helped in the invitation, and personally led several young men to Christ. But the episode moves beyond one exciting week of outreach to a bigger challenge from the Great Commission: every Christian has a next mission. If you have received the gospel, your next step is to grow; and as you grow, God calls you to go help others grow too. Topics Discussed The return of The War under Austin Brownlee's leadership Watching God use young people in evangelism David Bosler recruiting teens and leading several to Christ The follow-up event after The War: “The Next Mission” Matthew 28 and the Great Commission The receiving side of the Great Commission: grow The sending side of the Great Commission: go Baptism as the first step after salvation Surrendering to God's next step in your life Helping others take their next step without pride or condescension Depending on Christ's presence and power to fulfill His mission Key Takeaways Every saved young person has a next step. The first step after salvation is believer's baptism. Christian growth does not stop with one decision; God wants obedience in all things. The Great Commission is not only something you receive, but something you obey. God calls growing Christians to help others grow. You do not have to feel fully prepared before God can use you. Christ's mission requires surrender, but it also comes with His enabling presence. God wants to use you to make a difference in someone else's life.

How can parishes better accompany people entering the Catholic Church? In this listener Q&A episode, Dave wraps up the OCIA series by answering questions about sponsors, mentorship, community, Natural Family Planning, and how to meet the diverse needs of those coming into the Church. Dave argues that one of the biggest missing pieces in many OCIA programs isn't more content, it's deeper relationships. We want to hear from you!

Dave explores mystagogy, the often overlooked final stage of OCIA that begins after the Easter Vigil and calls new Catholics to go deeper into the mysteries they've just entered. Rather than being a finish line, he explains it as the start of lifelong formation. He also reflects on grief and how suffering can deepen belief in the resurrection, highlights the need for stronger parish community and post-Easter formation, and asks for prayers for Gomer's dad and family as his father's health declines.

The Easter Vigil is more than a beautiful liturgy, it's the culmination of salvation history and the climax of the catechumenate. Gomer and Dave unpack the rich symbolism of the Church's greatest liturgical celebration, from the new fire and Paschal Candle to baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist. They explore why the Vigil is centered on those entering the Church, how the liturgy embodies the Gospel through signs and symbols, and why Christians should never underestimate the power of the Church's ancient traditions.

Are we building a tool that serves humanity, or a new Tower of Babel? Find out how Catholics should respond with wisdom, beauty, strong families, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. We want to hear from you!

As their parents grow older and suffering becomes more personal, Gomer and Dave reflect on the hidden ways God forms saints through weakness, loss, and love. Gomer shares the heartbreaking experience of moving his father into long-term care, while Dave opens up about walking through hospice and caring for his son, Max. In the midst of these deeply human moments, they explore what it truly means to accompany another person in the faith. From OCIA to Confirmation and everyday Christian life, they unpack the real role of a sponsor, not just as a title, but as a spiritual guide, mentor, and witness. Together, they challenge common misconceptions, explain what the Church actually teaches, and offer practical wisdom for choosing, and becoming, someone who helps lead others closer to Christ.
