Keep Showing Up Pt. 2

In this follow-up episode of the Witnessing Christ Podcast, host Pastor Parsons continues the conversation with evangelist interns Noah, Caleb, Aaron, and Ethan as they conclude their discussion on Keep Showing Up: A Utah Pastor’s Journey by Pastor Scott McKinney.Picking up from Part 1, the group explores the final chapters of McKinney’s ministry story—where theology meets compassion and the call to “keep showing up” becomes both personal and practical. Centered on Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4), this episode dives deep into how that story parallels gospel work among Latter-day Saints today.Together they discuss:The cost of leaving Mormonism and the deep relational ties that make it so difficult.Why truth and love must always go hand in hand in witnessing—and the danger of falling into either ditch.How Jesus’ example in Samaria teaches us to show up, settle in, reach out, and share the good news with humility and courage.“Pork chop theology” and why the gospel is the satisfying feast every soul truly craves.Practical encouragement for anyone planting gospel seeds in difficult soil: your labor in the Lord is never in vain.This thoughtful conclusion reminds listeners that mission work is rarely quick or easy—but every conversation, every act of love, and every prayer matters. Through Jesus’ example and Pastor McKinney’s story, we learn that faithful ministry in Mormon culture (and anywhere else) starts with showing up… and never giving up.📘 Get the book: https://www.amazon.in/Keep-Showing-Up-Pastors-Journey/dp/1737032503Share this podcast with your Christian friends and subscribe on your favorite podcasting platform!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
