- 25First Love ChristiansWe talk mostly about the things we love most and are most excited about. That’s why it’s so easy to identify Christians whose ‘First Love’ is God and how we can judge our own walk with God by the things we talk about. But it’s easy to make other things in our lives our gods — even good things like relationships or our careers. It’s a constant battle to keep God first in our hearts. But here’s the good news: if you’ve moved away from God, you can always return and live for Him in everything that you say and do! Listen and learn from Barry's experience.

- 27You’re a WitnessNo 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.

- 29Your Faith-Sharing ResponsibilityWith 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.

- 30Evangelism Is Not a ProgramMost 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.

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.

- 32Our Problems Are Not Racial or PoliticalWe’re reaping the consequences of turning our backs on God and becoming a post-Christian nation.

- 33We’ve Stopped Sharing Our FaithWe’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?

- 34People Don’t Get Mad When You Say ThisNo matter where people are in their lives or what their struggles are, no one gets mad at you for telling them God loves them!

- 35Do It God’s WayLife 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.

- 36It’s God’s TimingOne 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.

- 37Share Your Faith Without FearJesus said, they will know that you’re His disciple by your love, not by your speaking skills or your ability to recite a script.

- 40God Hates ReligionReligion 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.

- 42There's No Need to Offend AnyoneThe 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.

- 43God Orchestrates and RecruitsJesus didn’t say, “Go and pray.” He didn’t say, “Go and read your Bible.” No . . .

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.

- 45When God is Up to SomethingThere 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?

- 46Where 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 wants us to live. Everything we say and everything we do influences those around us. You can’t force Christianity, but will you share your testimony and draw people closer to God? Or will your reluctance to share drive them further away? If we don’t tell them, who will?

- 47Where 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 be afraid to share His word and share our faith with everybody, every day to help bring them closer to Jesus. Be encouraged to do that in this episode.

- 48Flexing Your Spiritual MusclesGod 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, every day how God’s love works in our lives. What God has put in us is still in us. But we aren’t getting the full benefit of the blessings He gives.
