You are That Messenger!

Evangelism is not just for pastors. John 4:37 says, “…In this matter of kingdom harvest, everyone has a job to do.” Whether you’re in line at the grocery store or waiting at an appointment, in every conversation you have, you become the physical manifestation of God. To engage in the sacrament of evangelism, you must take every opportunity to share the love of Christ —YOU are His messenger!

Flexing Your Spiritual Muscles

God wants us to share our faith at every opportunity. But some of us aren’t having any fun. We’re going through each day letting ourselves be overcome by worry and not enjoying the gifts that God has given us. When we live this way, we are in danger of having spiritual atrophy.

In James 1:22, we’re instructed to be “doers of the Word and not merely hearers..." If we’re not putting our faith into practice, we’re missing opportunities to strengthen our own faith--and to demonstrate to everybody, ...

Where is Your Pulpit?

Often, we go through our lives just doing the things we need to do to survive. We sometimes fail to recognize opportunities to minister that are right under our noses. At some point, we may ask God if He means for us to stop what we are doing so that we can better serve Him. His answer may surprise us as we are likely already right where He needs us to be.

Romans 8:28 tells us that, “…in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him…” and He proves this time after time. We must never...

Where are the Watchmen?

Has the message gotten lost? Somewhere between the watchmen on the wall in the book of Ezekiel and last Sunday’s sermon, we’ve left out the message of salvation that is supposed to warn the lost about the enemy. As Christians, we need to be sharing our faith and one day, God will undoubtedly hold us accountable. If the church and the pastor aren’t equipping the church for ministry, what are they doing?

An estimated 80% of all Christians are living in fear today, and this is obviously not how He...

When God is Up to Something

There are days when it seems like nothing goes according to plan. But we must realize that there is always a reason behind these momentary snags and delays—there are no coincidences. Barry discusses how to connect the dots and see the opportunities in our disappointments. When things don’t work out the way we expected, God sends opportunities to share our faith with others. Each day, we’re presented with so many ways to make a difference. Will you heed the call when it comes?

The Importance of Discernment

Living biblically in today’s world is not easy. COVID-19 and cancel culture are just two examples of how God’s people are facing more choices — to obey God and His Word or to compromise with the culture. Be challenged by Barry’s discussion with Pastor Jack Hibbs as they talk about what it means to be discerning as a believer. Now more than ever, we must change our world around us by living for God and by moving everyone every day closer to Jesus!

God Orchestrates and Recruits

Jesus didn’t say, “Go and pray.” He didn’t say, “Go and read your Bible.” No . . . Jesus said, “Go and tell.” It’s not hard to do when you’re cultivating a deep relationship with Him. God not only orchestrates our lives, He recruits those He wants us to share our faith with. Learn more from Barry and his special guest Pastor Jack Hibbs about telling others about Jesus without fear. Because when you have faith, you just naturally want to share it!

There's No Need to Offend Anyone

The persecution of Christians right now is out of control. More Christians were martyred for their faith this last year than ever before in the history of the world. But people still want to know God loves them. He is calling us to share our faith, and when we do the world will know us by our love. That’s why we can’t stop taking advantage of every opportunity to move everyone every day closer to Jesus. Learn from Barry’s example as he boldly shared God’s love with an angry taxi driver in Detroi...

Intimacy with God

It’s incredible to think that you can have intimacy with God. He made us in His own image, He loves us, and He wants us to spend eternity with Him. Experiencing God’s love causes us to live for His purpose. And when you live for His purpose, you can’t wait to tell others about Him . . . because He is your first love! This is how God wants us to live our entire lives as Christians. Hear more about how you can really know God and have intimacy with Him.

God Hates Religion

Religion is man’s attempt to earn God’s favor. But that’s absurd, because it’s just not possible. It doesn’t matter what you do — going to church 365 days a year, reading your Bible every day, or even praying every day won’t put you at the front of the line. They’re all good things, but they won’t change your heart. Only God can save you, and He is checking your heart. Be encouraged to check yours, too, as you stop being religious and receive God’s gift of eternal life.

You Can Be Full of Joy Every Day

A powerful message to Christians living in fear is that sharing your faith ignites your joy. There’s nothing more thrilling than knowing God just orchestrated a conversation and gave you the words to say, that changed a life in front of you. Find out more about how God’s joy can be yours — even in the midst of your problems — and how your joy will remain full.

God’s Purpose is Your Purpose

You can spend your entire life searching the scriptures for your “life’s purpose,” and never find it because all of us are called to live our lives for God’s purpose, to seek and save the lost . . . to move everyone, every day, closer to Jesus. Hear more about living in this promise and in the favor of God.

Share Your Faith Without Fear

Jesus said, they will know that you’re His disciple by your love, not by your speaking skills or your ability to recite a script. Staying in your comfort zone of loving on people allows the Holy Spirit to work according to His time schedule. Learn from Barry’s example of how he let God speak through him for 50 years to his friend Jack and kept showing him God’s love.

It’s God’s Timing

One of the great misconceptions of faith sharing is the expectation that everyone comes to the Lord with one conversation. That’s the polar opposite of reality – and the Parable of the Sower whose seeds often land on hard ground. Without knowing where people are on their spiritual journey, your job is to simply move everyone, every day, closer to Jesus.

Do It God’s Way

Life is so much easier when you do it God’s way! It’s called faith! Without faith, it’s impossible to please God because without faith you worry and when you worry - you’re telling God, “I don’t trust you." In stark contrast, trusting God obliterates worry and your faith allows God to take you above and beyond anything you could ever ask for or imagine. But how do you get there?

People Don’t Get Mad When You Say This

No matter where people are in their lives or what their struggles are, no one gets mad at you for telling them God loves them! They may not agree, and some may even argue, but never out of anger. It’s more bewilderment! After all they’ve done in their lives to upset God, it’s all but impossible for them to believe God loves them. And you get to tell them!

We’ve Stopped Sharing Our Faith

We’re the only hope for 80% of our population who are unchurched nonbelievers. With only 1% of Christians sharing their faith, how are they going to know God loves them unless we (you) tell them?

Our Problems Are Not Racial or Political

We’re reaping the consequences of turning our backs on God and becoming a post-Christian nation. The only hope for America is turning our hearts back to God! The farther away we are from Him, the more we’ll have chaos in our world. But when we get back to God — and lead others to the Lord — we can ignite revival in our nation. Listen in and be encouraged to share your faith!

A Testimony of God’s Faithfulness

Living our lives for God’s purpose includes sharing our faith — and that can happen anywhere! Be inspired by Barry’s story that started with asking his waitress at Cracker Barrel if he could pray for her — and ended up with Barry getting connected to another father who had lost his daughter. One polishes cars, and the other hauls cattle. But in Christ, they are the same. You almost won’t believe this testimony of God’s faithfulness as you hear from Barry and his new friend Dan!

Evangelism Is Not a Program

Most Evangelism programs are unnecessary! You don't have to be trained how to love on people and you don't have to be trained on how to love people into Heaven. Jesus said, “They'll know you're my disciple by your love,” not by your training program or the recitation of a script.

Your Faith-Sharing Responsibility

With 10% of the U.S. population being born-again believers, we can saturate America with the Word of God if each one of us shares our faith with just 9 unbelievers. Even better, over 80% of the unchurched already have at least one Christian in their life that they trust. This is doable! Listen and hear how God will give you the words to speak so you can make the most of every opportunity — and lead people to Him!

Complete Freedom

What does it mean to live in complete freedom? When you have a close personal relationship with the Lord, you realize that He is in control of everything. He knows the trials and tribulations that are coming your way — and He will give you a song of praise so that your test becomes your testimony! Listen as Barry shares stories from his life of how he has trusted God — even while near death in the ICU — to rest in His care and reach others for Him.

You’re a Witness

No matter where you are in your life, if you're a Christian, you can't escape the fact that everything you say and do is moving everyone watching you closer or further away from God. Every Christian is a witness. The question is whether you're a witness for the defense or the prosecution of the Gospel. Hear more from Barry about how living out your faith in every situation and how connecting others to Jesus will light up your life!

Praying for Discernment

When you’re concerned for others, it’s wise to pray for discernment. Maybe you’re standing in line at Starbucks and see a stranger in need. Or you’re at the office and overhear the tense conversation of a long-time friend. The gift of discernment will help you in any situation and empower you to get a little bolder when sharing your faith! Hear Barry’s encouragement for praying like this and helping hurting people around us wherever we go.
