Why We Can't Put Off The Great Commission

Ever try to share your faith with someone where the discussion turned from conversation to confrontation?  Has that experience made you feel more uncomfortable about sharing your faith in general even though you know the Lord commands us to do so in love?  Have you felt the Lord tugging at your heart to share the Gospel with someone, but your head is tugging back because you don't know how?  Do you know someone who is on fire for Jesus, but their approach more closely resembles hitting their "target" over the head with the King James Bible?  What if I told you that sharing your faith can be as easy as having a conversation with a friend?

When not all your family is Christian at Christmas

I am winding down my career as a weekly podcaster with just three live shows left to go!  I'll be sad to see it end in a way, because I simply adore reaching out to my listeners and teaching on a live show.  It's been a blast even though it's taken quite a bit of my free time.  (Wait..."free time"? I'll have to look that up again.  I keep forgetting what that is!) This Thursday is a very special show.  Do you have members of your family who are not Christians this Christmas?  Have you tried to share your faith with them this year?  Do you worry about how you'll get along at the family Christmas gathering?  Do they fear...

Christians: You need to be on this call tomorrow morning!

Say What You Mean Defending the Faith is the most important communication study I have ever written.  Having grown up in an Atheist home (of Jewish decent), I have a unique insight into what unbelievers need to hear about the Lord.  It's not just about what to say but how we say it: respectfully and in grace. Also that we fully answer the questions they have one on one and not with a one-size-fits-all line or tract. All this month on Grace Talk Soup, Carla and I have been sharing tips for answering four of the most common questions and misconceptions the world has about Jesus.  You can go back in the past show audios to listen to the past...
