from By What Authority · host Raymond Ybarra
For years, many believers have carried a burden Jesus never placed on their shoulders: the pressure to “win souls.” In this episode, Raymond Ybarra opens the Scriptures and dismantles one of the most common misunderstandings in modern evangelism. You’ll discover the biblical difference between the Father who plants, the Son who sows, and the Spirit who gives the increase — and why your role is not to win souls, but to faithfully carry and sow the incorruptible seed of Christ.This message brings clarity to what it truly means to preach Christ, why condemnation was reserved for the religious, and how the Spirit Himself speaks through surrendered vessels. You’ll also learn why your testimony matters — not as the seed, but as the evidence of the seed — and how to align your ministry with the Spirit instead of tradition.This episode is a call to humility, repentance, and Spirit‑led obedience. It equips the Body for the ministry by restoring the purity of the Great Commission and freeing believers from the weight of performance‑based evangelism.🔥 LISTENER TAKEAWAYMy role is not to win souls, but to sow Christ — and trust the Spirit for the increase.
