Barry, author Bill Wiese, and America’s Tenor, Steve Amerson, meet again to talk about how we should never be afraid to share the Gospel. We don’t need to worry about not having all of the answers.

Barry, Steve, and Bill discuss why people are afraid to share their faith and how to measure our spiritual pulse. Are we feeling less than qualified to share God’s Word? Are we embarrassed to witness? Zeal isn’t just for new Christians! He’s given us the authority to share the Gospel to bring people closer, every day to Jesus. Host Barry Meguiar is…

By sharing our faith, we bring joy to God! In that joy, we gain our strength. We’re called to “love on” people until they ask us why we are doing it. We do this by praying for them, sharing our faith, and taking every opportunity to bring them, every day, closer to God. Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and businessman who hosted the popular TV show,…

As sharers of faith, everything we say and do can either move people closer to or further away from God.

People are hungry for the Gospel and the hope it brings. No matter where he is performing, Steve Amerson always asks God the question, “Is there someone here that I’m supposed to say something to?” Sometimes the answer is yes, but other times the Lord tells him that he needs to pray for them instead. He never misses a divine appointment to share Go…

When asked what he does for a living, Bill Wiese, Author of 23 Minutes in Hell, responds simply, “I teach the Bible.” Sharing the Gospel with others is a lot like how fishermen use chum.

Author and speaker, Bill Wiese shares examples of times when he felt called to share the Gospel. Sometimes people had questions, but other times the audience was less receptive...at first.

One way we show God that we love Him is by talking about Him. It’s one of the first things we do when we become Christians. We tell people how great God is and how much He has done for us. We talk about the things we’re excited about. When that excitement wears off, will the version of us that people see move them closer to Jesus or farther away fr…

It’s our responsibility to know the truth of God’s word. God has expectations for us, and He’s given us the Bible for our guide. We have been tasked with the single purpose of living our lives for Jesus. And when we stand before God, He will hold us accountable. Times have changed. Friendships and loyalties are no longer reliable guides. And it’s n…

With nearly 80% of the unchurched believing we are in the last days we have to ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to share the Gospel.

We need to use the time we…

Only 6% of Americans hold a biblical worldview. If that number is accurate, we have to ask ourselves, “Is it possible to be a Christian without a biblical worldview?” Isn’t belief enough? Even the demons in hell believe in God. It should be obvious to those around you that you are a Christian, and if it isn’t, you need to ask yourself why. Since th…

We’ve all been called to preach the Gospel to the lost in this world — not just pastors or theologians.

Proverbs 3:5 says that we should trust in the Lord with all our hearts and that we should not lean on our own understanding. Yet, 80 percent of Christians are living in fear.

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…

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…

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 u…

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 …

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.

Living biblically in today’s world is not easy.

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.

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 liv…

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…

One of the great misconceptions of faith sharing is the expectation that everyone comes to the Lord with one conversation.

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 ima…

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.

We talk mostly about the things we love most and are most excited about.
