Words of Life: Weekly Christian Podcast with Testi... - Author, Preston Fidler- 1,000 Cups of Tea

  What if sharing the gospel wasn’t about having all the right words, but about building real relationships? In this episode of Words of Life, we’re joined by author and missionary Preston Fidler, whose book 1000 Cups of Tea has helped inspire this series on community engagement and neighboring well. Drawing from decades of cross-cultural ministry experience, Preston shares how meaningful relationships, not methods, are at the heart of effective, Christ-centered outreach. Preston’s journey began with a simple but profound realization: the gospel is best shared through conversation, not scripts. From a memorable moment struggling to communicate in a taxi overseas to years of ministry in Asia and Central Asia, he discovered that true connection happens when we listen, engage, and meet people where they are. This episode also challenges a common misconception about evangelism. Sharing your faith isn’t just for pastors or missionaries, it’s for every believer. You don’t need to travel across the world to live on mission. It starts right where you are, with your neighbors, your community, and the people you encounter every day. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife Learn more about Preston's ministry here https://www.language180.com/books   Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
