The Secret to Church Growth After You Plant with Tina Waldrom
What keeps a church growing after the excitement of planting it begins to fade? More programs? Better events? A bigger team? Or could the secret be something much simpler? The direction of a church is shaped by what consistently gets its attention. And when evangelism stays visible, believers are far more likely to notice the people around them who don’t yet know Jesus. In this episode of The Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom shares her workshop from Exponential on the secret to growth after planting a church. Her challenge to leaders is simple: if you want people to notice those who don't yet know Jesus, you have to intentionally help them look. But creating a culture of evangelism isn't about putting more pressure on already busy Christians or launching another program. Tina explores practical principles that can help make sharing Jesus feel like normal Christianity again: from giving people simple, achievable actions and telling more stories of everyday faith conversations, to changing what churches measure and celebrating every small step someone takes towards Jesus. Whether you're leading a new church, an established congregation or simply want to become more intentional about sharing your own faith, this episode will challenge you to consider what you're focusing on and where that focus is taking you. IN THIS EPISODE The importance of focus after church planting How attention drives behavior and church growth Using the reticular activating system to notice opportunities Setting specific, measurable goals for evangelism The Hawthorne effect and keeping evangelism visible Celebrating small wins and progress in faith journey The role of stories and sermons in shaping culture The importance of measuring evangelism efforts Encouraging a culture of outreach and discipleship EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 – Introduction 02:03 – The Focus That Led to Church Planting Success 03:53 – Why Most Churches Have a Focus Problem 11:59 – Measuring Progress and Celebrating Small Wins 14:12 – The Importance of Storytelling and Sermons 15:54 – The Hawthorne Effect and Keeping Evangelism Visible 23:53 – The Progress Principle and the Journey of Faith 26:07 – Practical Steps for Church Leaders 27:57 – Takeaways WATCH THE EPISODE Full Video on YouTube: Watch Now Watch this short video: “How Do I Get My People More Engaged in Evangelism?” MEET TINA WALDROM Tina Waldrom is the founder of Evangelism in Australia and host of The Win Win Evangelism Podcast.

Prayer, Pioneering & Evangelism: How God Opens Doors for the Gospel
What if growing in evangelism started with three simple prayers: God, open a door. Open their heart. Open my mouth. Prayer, pioneering & evangelism belong together. Sometimes sharing Jesus begins not with having the perfect strategy, but with recognising where God is already moving and having the courage to join Him. In this episode of The Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom talks with Jessie Skelly from PAIS Australia about what it means to pioneer new opportunities for the gospel, particularly among the next generation. From praying outside school gates to discovering “people of peace” and equipping young Christians to share Jesus with their friends, Jessie shares powerful stories of what can happen when ordinary believers stop trying to make everything happen themselves and start looking for where God is already at work. This conversation is also a challenge to get out of the boat and have a go. You'll hear why today's pioneering evangelism needs prayer, creativity and fresh approaches, how fear can stop us before a conversation even begins, and why we shouldn't decide in advance who will or won't respond to Jesus. If you want your evangelism to become more prayerful, courageous and dependent on the Holy Spirit, this episode will encourage you to pray for an open door and then be ready to walk through it. IN THIS EPISODE Unity across the body of Christ and working together The concept of pioneering and starting new initiatives The importance of discernment and prayer in evangelism Stories of faith and breakthrough in schools The role of prayer in empowering evangelism and discipleship The importance of community and mentorship in youth evangelism Practical steps for opening doors and engaging with schools The significance of seed sowing and relational evangelism The impact of faith stories and testimonies in outreach Encouragement for believers to step out in faith EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:29 - Jesse Scully and the PAIS Movement 02:15 - What Pioneering Means in Evangelism 07:19 - Looking for the Answer to Prayer in Real-life Conversations and Opportunities 11:18 - Why Prayer is Essential I You Want to Pioneer Anything for God 17:36 - Moving From Prayer into Actual Gospel Conversations 19:25 - Praying for Boldness and Speaking with Supernatural Confidence 21:46 - What Church Leaders and Youth Pastors Can Do If They Need Training for School Outreach 23:31 - Closing WATCH THE EPISODE Watch part of the full video episode: Watch Now Watch the short video: “Jessie Skelly: Pioneering is That New, Almost Apostolic Work” MEET JESSIE SKELLY Jessie Skelly is the National Director of Pais Australia, a role he has held for four years.

Who Gets to Define Me? Talking About Identity With Non-Christians
Who gets to define who you are? Your job? Your relationships? Your past? Your achievements? Or perhaps the things other people have said about you? Identity has become one of the biggest conversations in our culture and it can also become a powerful doorway for evangelism. In this episode of The Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom sits down with Christian speaker, author and communicator Nalini Tranquim to explore why so many people struggle with the question, "Who am I?" and how Christians can enter those conversations with genuine curiosity, compassion and wisdom.

When I Took a Homeless Woman to Church
What if the interruption you didn't plan for was actually the moment God had planned all along? In this episode, Tina Waldrom thought she knew exactly how her Sunday morning would unfold: grab a coffee, head across the road to church and enjoy the service. Then a homeless woman asked her to buy a caramel Frappuccino. One simple request led to breakfast, an unexpected invitation to church and four words Tina couldn't forget: “I've given up on hope.” What happened next became a powerful lesson about evangelism, compassion and noticing the person God has placed right in front of you. In this deeply personal episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina explores what it means to become interruptible and allow the love of Jesus to move beyond words into practical action. From making someone feel welcome at church to providing a safe shoulder to sleep on, this story challenges the idea that evangelism always needs to begin with the perfect gospel conversation. Sometimes it begins with a coffee, a meal, learning someone's name or simply making room. You may not be able to change the whole world, but you can love the person God puts in your path and that ordinary act of kindness might become one of the holiest moments of your week. In this podcast episode, you will discover about: The importance of compassion in faith practice How small acts can have a profound impact The role of the church in serving the marginalized Jesus' example of reaching out to the outcast The significance of hope in Christian life The power of unexpected moments in ministry The connection between kindness and spiritual growth And more… WATCH THIS SHORT VIDEO: LOVE IS NEVER JUST SOMETHING WE SAY, IT BECOMES SOMETHING WE DO *SUPPORT THIS PODCAST – BUY ME A COFFEE – MORE INFORMATION HERE. *OUR ONLINE LEARNING & COURSES Share Jesus Membership On Mission with God @Home (free sample) On Mission with God @Home (Full Course Details) 3 Day Evangelism Challenge *OTHER PODCAST EPISODES LINKED TO THIS The Homeless Man Who Changed my Night with Tina Waldrom How Evangelism and Social Justice Work Together with Tina Waldrom Sharing the Gospel in a Secular Australia (with Tina Waldrom) The Stats for Effective Evangelism with Mark McCrindle Why are So Many Australians Turning Away From Christianity and What Can We Do About It?

Are you interruptible when God puts someone in your path? How do you normally respond when someone interrupts your plans? Could some of the interruptions in your life actually be invitations from God? Read: Luke 18:35-43; Mark 5:21-34 2. Do people who are far from God feel safe around you? One striking observation from the episode is that people who were rejected or overlooked by society often felt comfortable approaching Jesus. Tina asks an important question: Do people still feel that way around us as Christians? Read: Luke 15:1-2; Matthew 9:10-13 3. Are you listening for the story underneath someone's words? When people talk to you, are you listening for opportunities to understand what's really happening in their lives? How could listening more carefully create natural opportunities for evangelism? Read: Romans 15:13; 1 Peter 3:15 4. Does your evangelism demonstrate the gospel as well as explain it? Is your understanding of evangelism mainly about what you say? How could practical compassion make your conversations about Jesus more credible? Read: 1 John 3:16-18; James 2:14-17 5. Would someone who feels ashamed feel welcome in your church? If someone experiencing homelessness, addiction, poverty or another difficult circumstance walked into your church this Sunday, how would they experience your community? What could you personally do to help them feel seen, valued and welcomed? Read: Romans 15:7; James 2:1-4 6. Are you waiting to do everything instead of doing something? Have you ever avoided helping because the problem seemed too large? How could changing your thinking from “I can't do everything” to “I can do something” transform your approach to evangelism? Read: Luke 10:30–37; Galatians 6:9-10 7. Could one small act of kindness help someone rediscover hope? Who has God already placed in your life who might need hope? What is one practical act of kindness you could offer them this week? Read: Matthew 25:35-40; Proverbs 19:17; Matthew 5:16

The Homeless Man Who Changed my Night with Tina Waldrom
What if one of the greatest opportunities for evangelism came disguised as an interruption? In this deeply personal episode, Tina Waldrom shares the unforgettable story of an ordinary holiday evening that became an extraordinary encounter with God. What began as a quiet dinner and a spectacular fireworks display quickly turned into a life-changing lesson about noticing the people Jesus notices. Through one simple act of kindness towards a homeless man, Tina discovered that the Holy Spirit often speaks through gentle promptings, inviting us to step beyond our comfort and reflect the compassion of Christ. This episode is a powerful reminder that evangelism isn't always about preaching a sermon or having all the right words. Often, it begins with seeing the person in front of us, responding with love, and trusting God with the outcome. As Tina reflects on Scripture and her own experience, you'll be encouraged to slow down, listen to God's voice, and embrace the everyday opportunities He gives you to demonstrate His love. If you long to grow in compassionate, authentic evangelism, this conversation will inspire you to see people and yourself through the eyes of Jesus. In this podcast episode, you will discover about: The Holy Spirit's gentle prompting to notice others Jesus' example of noticing and helping marginalized people The significance of calling people by their names Acts of kindness as expressions of faith The connection between worship and social justice The impact of small acts on spiritual growth Scriptural insights on caring for the least of these The importance of dignity in service And more… *SUPPORT THIS PODCAST – BUY ME A COFFEE – MORE INFORMATION HERE. *OUR ONLINE LEARNING & COURSES Share Jesus Membership On Mission with God @Home (free sample) On Mission with God @Home (Full Course Details) 3 Day Evangelism Challenge *OTHER PODCAST EPISODES LINKED TO THIS How Evangelism and Social Justice Work Together with Tina Waldrom Sharing the Gospel in a Secular Australia (with Tina Waldrom) The Stats for Effective Evangelism with Mark McCrindle Why are So Many Australians Turning Away From Christianity and What Can We Do About It?

Tina describes how she couldn't stop noticing the homeless man, realising it wasn't guilt but the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit. Evangelism often begins when we're willing to notice what God is drawing our attention to. Read: John 10:27; Galatians 5:25 2. Who are the people that Jesus wants you to notice? Who in your everyday life may be feeling overlooked or invisible? How could God be inviting you to notice them this week? Read: Matthew 9:36; Luke 19:1-10 3. What small act of obedience is God asking you to take? Do you ever hesitate because you feel you can't do enough? What small act of kindness could you take this week that points someone towards God's love? Read: James 2:14-17; Zechariah 4:10 4. Do you see people's problems, or do you see people? Everything changed when Tina stopped seeing "a homeless man" and instead saw a person created in the image of God. Every individual has value because they bear God's image. How easy is it to label people rather than truly see them? How might seeing people as God sees them change your approach to evangelism? Read: Genesis 1:27; Isaiah 43:1 5. Are you serving others without expecting anything in return? Why can it be tempting to expect something back after we've helped someone? How can you demonstrate Christ's love through quiet acts of generosity? Read: Matthew 6:1-4; Philippians 2:3-8 6. Who is really transformed when we show compassion? While the homeless man received one meal, Tina realised that God had transformed her own heart. Evangelism doesn't just impact the people we serve. It changes us too. Can you think of a time when serving someone changed your own heart? What does this teach you about God's purpose in acts of compassion? Read: Matthew 25:35-40; Proverbs 19:17 7. What "fireworks" might be distracting you from people? The beautiful evening could easily have distracted Tina from noticing the person sitting nearby. We too can become so occupied with our own plans that we miss the people God places in front of us. What distractions make it difficult for you to notice people in need? How can you become more intentional about living a lifestyle of everyday evangelism? Read: 1 John 3:17-18; Hebrews 13:2

Have you ever focused more on winning an argument than winning a person? What would it look like to listen first before sharing your own faith? Read: Colossians 4:5-6; 2 Timothy 2:24-25 3. Does your life make people curious about Jesus? Would the people around you describe your faith as authentic? How could your everyday life point others towards Christ?

What fears stop you from speaking about Jesus? Fear emerged as one of the biggest barriers to evangelism, whether it's fear of rejection, losing friendships, damaging your reputation, or even losing your job. Read: Matthew 28:18-20; Isaiah 41:10 3. Are you retreating from culture or engaging it with wisdom? Christians are called to engage the world around them rather than withdraw from it.

Whether it's AI, Islam, suffering or cultural issues, many people have genuine questions about Christianity. We don't need to know everything, but we should be growing in our understanding.

What does growing in confidence actually look like for you? Rob shared that his hope wasn't for everyone to become experts overnight, but for believers to leave feeling just a little more confident each day. Read: Philippians 1:6; Hebrews 10:23-25

It’s hard to believe we’re already at the halfway point of 2026, and we’re excited to kick off our Mid Year Highlights by counting down the top 3 most viewed episodes of the year! This episode takes the #3 spot. In this episode, Tina Waldrom sits down with Ger Jones, pastor of Vintage Church in Santa Monica, to explore how sharing faith is changing in a post-Christian culture. Drawing from his own journey through faith crisis, the marketplace, and ministry, Ger shares why empathy, safe environments, and authentic relationships are more important than ever when helping people explore Jesus today. This conversation is both deeply encouraging and incredibly practical. You’ll discover why evangelism is less about persuasion and more about helping people, why sowing seeds through love matters more than quick results, and how believers can become a “compelling curiosity” that draws others toward Christ. Whether you’re a church leader or an everyday Christian, this episode will help you approach evangelism with greater confidence, patience, and compassion. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Ger Jones emphasises the importance of creating safe spaces for people to explore their faith without judgment. Empathy is crucial in understanding the struggles of non-Christians. Sowing seeds of faith is about loving people and building relationships, not just targeting them for conversion. The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in transforming hearts. Evangelism is a long game. In a secular culture, Christians must be a compelling curiosity by living out their faith authentically. Understanding the cultural context is essential for effective evangelism in different communities. Creating a welcoming environment is key. Churches need to design their communities around the exploration of faith for non-believers.

Why do you think conversations about AI can naturally lead to conversations about God, identity, and purpose? Stephen suggests that AI is raising questions people have not had to wrestle with before. How can Christians use these questions as bridges into gospel conversations? Read: Acts 17:22-23, Colossians 4:5-6 2. What does it mean to be made in the image of God, and why is that truth more important than ever in an AI-driven world? Discuss the difference between human beings and artificial intelligence.

Read: Genesis 1:27-28, Ephesians 2:10, Galatians 2:20 4. What fears or concerns about AI are people around you expressing, and how might these concerns open doors for evangelism?

Read: 1 Peter 3:15, Romans 15:13 5. How can understanding that humans are both physical and spiritual beings help us explain the gospel more clearly? Stephen describes AI as "refined dust" but highlights that humans have been given life through God's Spirit. Why is this distinction important when discussing humanity with non-Christians? Read: Genesis 2:7, Ecclesiastes 3:11 6. Are there current cultural conversations you tend to avoid that could actually become opportunities for evangelism? AI is becoming a common topic in workplaces, universities, cafés, and homes. What practical steps can you take to engage these conversations and gently point people towards Jesus? Read: Matthew 5:14-16, Colossians 4:5-6 7. How does God's sovereignty give you confidence when facing an uncertain future shaped by technology?

Why Christians Stop Sharing Their Faith (And How To Be Focused Each Week)
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism podcast, Tina Waldrom explores the subtle reasons why Christians stop sharing their faith and why maintaining an outward-focused mindset requires more than a one off burst of motivation. Why do Christians stop sharing their faith? Most believers don't walk away from evangelism because they've stopped loving Jesus. More often, life simply gets busy. Work pressures, family responsibilities, fear of awkward conversations, discouragement from past experiences, and endless distractions can slowly push evangelism from a daily priority to an occasional thought. Drawing from Scripture, research, and practical experience, Tina unpacks the importance of ongoing encouragement in helping believers stay focused on God's mission. You'll discover why relational evangelism is often simpler than we think, how daily reminders can keep mission visible, and practical ways to recognise opportunities God places before you each day. If you've ever felt your passion for evangelism fading, this episode will encourage you to refocus, stay faithful, and keep sharing the hope of Jesus with confidence and gentleness. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Loss of focus in evangelism due to distraction and fear The importance of ongoing encouragement and daily reminders Relational evangelism and authentic conversations The role of technology in supporting mission focus Cultural pressures in Australia affecting evangelism And more… WATCH THIS FULL VIDEO EPISODE *SUPPORT THIS PODCAST – BUY ME A COFFEE – MORE INFORMATION HERE. *OUR ONLINE LEARNING & COURSES Share Jesus Membership On Mission with God @Home (free sample) On Mission with God @Home (Full Course Details) 3 Day Evangelism Challenge *OTHER PODCAST EPISODES LINKED TO THIS How To Open People’s Eyes to Jesus?

What currently competes for your attention and makes evangelism less visible in your daily routine?Read: Galatians 6:9; Ephesians 5:15-16 2. How have fear, awkwardness, or past experiences affected your willingness to talk about Jesus? Think about a time when a spiritual conversation felt uncomfortable or did not go as you hoped.

Which of these have you experienced, and what practical steps could help you overcome them? Read: Hebrews 12:1-2 4. How can you become more intentional about recognising the opportunities God places before you each day? Tina emphasises that opportunities can be missed when we are not paying attention. What habits could help you become more aware of people God may already be working in? Read: Ephesians 5:15-16; Colossians 4:5-6 5. What role does encouragement play in helping believers remain focused on evangelism? Who encourages you in your faith-sharing journey? How can your small group, church, or Christian friendships better "spur one another on" towards mission? Read: Hebrews 10:24-25; 1 Thessalonians 5:11 6. How does relational evangelism differ from the way many people traditionally think about evangelism? The episode explains that evangelism is often less about having all the answers and more about listening, caring, asking questions, and sharing hope naturally. How does this perspective change the way you approach conversations about faith? Read: 1 Peter 3:15; John 4:1-30 7. What is one practical step you can take this week to stay outward-focused? Tina encourages believers to pray each morning for one opportunity and look for one person God may already be drawing to Himself. What specific action will you take this week?

From Church Growth to City Health: Rethinking Evangelism
Evangelism can sometimes feel like a pressure to grow church attendance, but what if the focus was bigger than that? In this episode, Tina Waldrom sits down with Tim O’Neill, Executive Director of Exponential Australia, to explore a powerful shift in thinking and moving from church growth to city health. Instead of asking how churches can get people into buildings, Tim challenges believers to ask how the church can bring the love of Jesus into the everyday life of a city. Together they unpack how evangelism flourishes when churches focus on relationships, cooperation and community impact. From micro-churches to innovative ministry models, Tim shares practical insights about reaching people where they are and helping them discover a genuine relationship with Christ. If you want to grow in confidence in evangelism and rethink how your church can bless its community, this conversation will inspire you to see the bigger mission of God at work in your city. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: City health can reshape how churches approach mission. Church success is more than attendance and finances. Different church models reach different people. Micro-churches can reach those avoiding traditional services. Churches can partner together to transform a city. Programs open doors, but relationships lead people to Jesus. Church systems should support outward mission. The early church model shows the power of community impact. Serving the community often leads to church growth. A city-focused vision strengthens evangelism.

How to Share Your Faith Like Jesus: Lessons from Pais Movement Founder Paul Clayton Gibbs
What if evangelism is not something we organise, but something we live? In this episode, Tina Waldrom talks with Paul Clayton Gibbs, founder of the Pais Movement, to challenge us to rethink how we see mission, discipleship, and our everyday lives. Rather than limiting faith to church programmes or special events, Paul invites us to step into a bigger vision, one where every believer carries Kingdom responsibility wherever God has placed them. Through honest insights and practical wisdom, Paul Clayton Gibbs helps us see that evangelism is not reserved for the confident or the trained expert. It begins with obedience, faithfulness, and a willingness to see our workplace, neighbourhood, and friendships as part of God’s mission. If you’ve ever felt unsure where you fit in God’s plan, this conversation will encourage you to think bigger, act braver, and live with Kingdom purpose.

Ger Jones: Evangelism After Christendom (Reaching the Curious, Cautious & Cynical)
What does evangelism look like in a world where many people are sceptical of church, wary of Christians, yet still spiritually curious? In this episode, Tina Waldrom sits down with Ger Jones, pastor of Vintage Church in Santa Monica, to explore how sharing faith is changing in a post-Christian culture. Drawing from his own journey through faith crisis, the marketplace, and ministry, Ger shares why empathy, safe environments, and authentic relationships are more important than ever when helping people explore Jesus today. This conversation is both deeply encouraging and incredibly practical. You’ll discover why evangelism is less about persuasion and more about helping people, why sowing seeds through love matters more than quick results, and how believers can become a “compelling curiosity” that draws others toward Christ. Whether you’re a church leader or an everyday Christian, this episode will help you approach evangelism with greater confidence, patience, and compassion.

Empathy is crucial in understanding the struggles of non-Christians. Sowing seeds of faith is about loving people and building relationships, not just targeting them for conversion. The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in transforming hearts. Evangelism is a long game. In a secular culture, Christians must be a compelling curiosity by living out their faith authentically. Understanding the cultural context is essential for effective evangelism in different communities. Creating a welcoming environment is key. Churches need to design their communities around the exploration of faith for non-believers.

Together they unpack the history behind major evangelistic movements and reveal a powerful truth: the real impact has always happened locally, through everyday believers having intentional conversations with the people around them.

Getting Clarity for Evangelism in 2026
As we step into a new year, many believers are eager to make a difference but feel unsure where to focus their energy. In this episode, Tina Waldrom speaks directly to that tension by exploring evangelism through the lens of clarity rather than activity. Instead of chasing trends or strategies, she invites listeners to slow down, listen deeply, and ask what God is already doing. This conversation is especially timely as we seek Getting Clarity for Evangelism in 2026, both personally and as churches. Tina shares biblical wisdom and practical insight on how clarity comes through prayer, silence, and understanding where God has already placed us. She reminds us that evangelism is not about doing more, but about doing the right things in the right places with God. Whether you’re a church leader, small group member, or individual believer, this episode will help you move forward with confidence, obedience, and a renewed sense of purpose for sharing your faith in 2026. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Clarity is essential for effective outreach in 2026. Listening to God through prayer is foundational for clarity. Clarity often comes from understanding where God has placed us. Many feel busy but unclear in their outreach efforts. God speaks quietly, requiring us to pay attention. Most people need fresh eyes for their current mission field. Clarity grows when we stop copying others and start discerning. The process of clarity should start with understanding the 'why' and 'where'. Fewer initiatives with clearer focus can lead to more effective outreach. Trusting God more leads to greater clarity in our mission.

Drawing from key national research by McCrindle, NCLS and the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Tina highlights the cultural shifts shaping the nation’s spiritual landscape.

Tina challenges listeners to rebuild trust through everyday consistency, to engage people relationally rather than institutionally, and to tell better stories about what God is doing in real lives. Whether you lead a church or simply want to represent Jesus more authentically in your world, this episode provides clarity, challenge and hope for evangelism in today’s Australia.

Summer Hits 2025 #2 How God Tried To Reach Me: Lachlan Shipard’s Journey with Jesus
Another summer is here, and Evangelism in Australia is introducing its top 5 most popular episodes of 2025. This is #2. In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom sits down with Lachlan Shipard to hear his remarkable journey from a self-focused lifestyle of drugs, alcohol, and quick fixes to discovering lasting hope in Jesus. Lachlan openly shares the emptiness he faced even after making big life changes, and the unexpected moment when he sensed God calling him to reach out. His honesty and vulnerability give us a fresh perspective on how God draws people to Himself in surprising ways. Tina and Lachlan explore what it means to share your faith in everyday life, not through pressure or perfection, but by living authentically and pointing others to Christ. This conversation highlights the heart of evangelism and apologetics—answering real questions, walking patiently with people, and allowing your own story to testify to the goodness of God. Whether you’re new to sharing your faith or looking for encouragement to keep going, this episode will inspire you to step out with courage and compassion. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Lachlan's life was filled with partying and substance abuse before finding faith. Lachlan moved to different locations seeking change, but continued his old habits. A breakdown can lead to a moment of clarity. Understanding Jesus became clearer through personal study and community support. Sharing personal stories is vital in evangelism. Actions often speak louder than words in demonstrating faith.

Lachlan shared that before Christ, he tried to fill the void in his life with parties, drugs, money, and relationships. What are some common “quick fixes” people turn to today instead of God? Read: John 4:13-14 “Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 2. Lachlan described a turning point when he realised he had to stop blaming others and take responsibility for his life. How does taking ownership of our own sin open the door for God’s grace? Read: James 1:14–15 “but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” 3. Lachlan said he became “miserably happy”, he cleaned up his life but still felt empty until he encountered Jesus. Why do you think self-improvement alone cannot replace salvation? Read: Ephesians 2:8–9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.” 4. Lachlan’s conversion began with a thought: “Reach out to Me.” How has God drawn you (or people you know) to Himself, sometimes unexpectedly? Read: John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.” 5. When Lachlan first became a Christian, he zealously gave out Bibles and told everyone about Jesus. Have you ever been overzealous in sharing your faith? How can we balance boldness with wisdom and grace? Read: Colossians 4:5–6 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” 6. Lachlan learned that people are often reached more by watching how Christians live than by what we say. In what specific ways can your daily life shine Christ’s light to those around you? Read: Matthew 5:14–16 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” 7. If you had only two minutes to share with someone what Jesus has done in your life (as Lachlan suggests), what would you say? How can your story of Jesus’ work in your life become a bridge to evangelism? Read & Reflect: Acts 22:6–10 About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, “Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?” “Who are you, Lord?” I asked. “I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,” He replied. My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of Him who was speaking to me. “What shall I do, Lord?” I asked. “ Get up,” the Lord said, “and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.”

Summer Hits 2025 #3 How Is God Speaking to Those Who Don’t Know Him?
Another summer is here, and Evangelism in Australia is introducing its top 5 most popular episodes of 2025. This is #3. In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom interviews Dr Tania Harris, founding director of God Conversations, for a fascinating and hope-filled discussion on the question, “How Is God Speaking to Those Who Don’t Know Him?” Together, they explore how the Holy Spirit is already at work beyond the walls of the Church and among people who might describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” Drawing from real-life stories, including powerful encounters where people have experienced dreams and visions of Jesus, Tania and Tina unpack how God continues to reveal Himself to seekers in unexpected ways, from the Middle East to modern-day Australia. This conversation will change how you think about evangelism. Rather than seeing it as bringing God to others, Tania invites listeners to consider that God is already speaking. Our role is to recognise where He’s at work and join in. The episode unpacks what this means for everyday believers: how to discern spiritual openness, how to listen with humility, and how to share faith naturally and sensitively. Whether you’re part of a local church, leading a small group, or simply walking alongside friends who don’t yet believe, this episode offers fresh insight into what it truly means to partner with the Spirit in helping others encounter Jesus. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: God is already speaking to those who are seeking Him. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in evangelism. Recognizing spiritual seekers can change our approach to outreach. People often reject religion but are open to spirituality. Evangelism should be a partnership with the Holy Spirit. Openness and humility are key to hearing God's voice. We should look for opportunities to engage in spiritual conversations. The church's role is to walk alongside seekers, not coerce them. Understanding the cultural context is vital for effective evangelism. Sharing personal experiences can create meaningful connections.

Summer Hits 2025 #5 Bringing the Gospel to the Jewish Community with Lawrence Hirsch
Another summer is here, and Evangelism in Australia is introducing its top 5 most popular episodes of 2025. This is #5. In this episode, Tina Waldrom has a heartfelt conversation with Rabbi Lawrence Hirsch about the importance of bringing the Gospel to the Jewish Community. Rabbi Lawrence opens up about his personal journey to faith, giving listeners a glimpse into the unique challenges that Jewish people face when considering Jesus as the Messiah. He also takes time to share the historical background of Jewish-Christian relations, helping Christians better understand the sensitivities that still exist today. His story highlights both the struggles and the hope that come with following Christ, while holding on to the rich heritage of Jewish identity. The discussion goes deeper into what evangelism looks like in this context, stressing the need for Christians to approach Jewish people with gentleness, humility, and respect. Rabbi Lawrence explains that sharing the gospel isn’t about stripping away Jewishness, but rather about showing how faith in Jesus fulfills the promises of Scripture. For churches and believers today, this episode is a valuable reminder that evangelism requires cultural awareness and genuine love, especially when reaching out to communities with such deep spiritual and historical roots. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Lawrence Hirsch’s journey from a Jewish upbringing to faith in Jesus. The importance of recognising Jesus' Jewish identity in evangelism. Christianity has deep Jewish roots that should be acknowledged. Many Jewish people feel betrayed when someone converts to Christianity. Outreach to the Jewish community should emphasise continuity, not conversion. Historical tensions between Christians and Jews impact current relationships. Love and support for Jewish people are crucial in today's climate. The recent events in Israel have heightened anti-Semitism globally. Christians can play a role in combating anti-Semitism through friendship. In times of hardship, people are more open to the Gospel message.

How does remembering that Jesus Himself was Jewish shape the way we share the Gospel with Jewish people and with anyone? Read: Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 2. Rabbi Lawrence shared how his brother used Isaiah 53 without revealing the passage, and he immediately recognised Jesus in it. What role should the Old Testament/Tanakh play in our evangelism conversations? Read: Isaiah 53:5 “But he was pierced for our transgressions…” 3. Jewish people often feel that believing in Jesus means “rejecting” their Jewish identity. How can we, as Christians, communicate that following Jesus is not about abandoning culture or heritage but about fulfilling God’s promises? Read: Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” 4. Lawrence mentioned his mother felt “betrayed” when he came to faith. How should we sensitively approach conversations with people who may see accepting Jesus as disloyalty to family, culture, or tradition? Read: Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate their father and mother… yes, even their own life, such a person cannot be my disciple.” (to wrestle with the cost of discipleship and relational tensions) 5. The history of Christian persecution of Jews is a massive barrier in evangelism. How can acknowledging past wrongs and showing humility open doors for Gospel conversations today? Read: Romans 11:18 “Do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.” 6. Lawrence described evangelism as not inviting Jews to “become Christians” but showing them that Jesus is their Messiah. How could this paradigm shift change the way you share your faith with anyone? Read: John 4:22 “You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.” 7. Lawrence and his wife Louise both came to faith within hours of each other on opposite sides of the world - a testimony of God’s sovereign timing. How can stories like this encourage us to trust God’s timing in our evangelism efforts? Read: 1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”

I bring you good news…” Reflect: What would change if you trusted that God is already at work ahead of you? 7.

Brendan Roach on How to Know Who God Is Asking You to Reach
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom interviews Dr Brendan Roach, a pastor, leadership coach, and the author of the newly released book, It’s My Call. For many believers, the idea of “calling” has become tangled up with platform, position, or pulpit ministry. But Brendan gently unpacks a biblical and practical understanding of calling that applies to every follower of Jesus, including those whose most impactful gospel conversations might take place in a café, workplace, school yard, or around the dining table. This conversation is deeply encouraging for anyone who senses God nudging them toward people, places, or communities in everyday life. Brendan’s book, It’s My Call, invites believers to discover where God is already producing fruit in their lives and to lean confidently into that. Instead of striving, comparing, or waiting for a grand, dramatic sign, Brendan helps us see how calling often unfolds through small, faithful steps. If you’ve ever wondered, “Where do I fit?” or “How do I know who I’m called to reach?”, this interview will bring real clarity, comfort, and courage. Brendan Roach has lived this message and now he offers it to equip the church to move with purpose. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Don't look for the one glorious Burning Bush moment. Flow in the areas that we like and enjoy. Look for genuine fruit in our efforts. Positive outcomes can be produced repeatedly. Identifying genuine outcomes is crucial for growth.

What comes to mind when you hear the words “calling” or “purpose”?

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:4–6 God gives different gifts for different purposes. 2. Have you ever felt “less than” because your gifts or personality don’t look like someone else’s? How does the conversation in this episode help you embrace who God has uniquely made you to be? Scripture: Psalm 139:13–16 You are intentionally crafted by God. 3. What areas of your life consistently produce “fruit”? Where do you see people encouraged, helped, or drawn closer to God through you? These may be clues to your calling. Scripture: Matthew 7:17 A good tree is known by its fruit. 4. Are you waiting for a dramatic “burning bush moment” before stepping into what God may already be inviting you to do? What small step of obedience could you take this week? Scripture: Luke 16:10 Faithfulness begins in small things. 5. Where do you sense God nudging you to share the gospel? Your workplace, your neighbourhood, a café community, a hobby group, or online? How can you be present and available there? Scripture: Acts 17:26–27 God places us where we are for a purpose. 6. In what ways might comparison or insecurity be stopping you from being a witness for Christ? How can you replace those thoughts with truth? Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:5 Our competence comes from God 7. What declaration of calling could you speak out in faith? Not from arrogance, but from clarity and trust? For example: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me… to encourage, to teach, to gather, to invite, to listen.” Scripture: Luke 4:18 Jesus declared His anointing; we can too when we know our calling.

Sam shares honestly about the long and painful journey of walking with his wife through her ongoing battle with cancer, and how the extended waiting has shaped his faith in ways he never expected. Rather than offering easy answers, Sam reflects on what it truly means to trust God when life is uncertain, prayers seem unanswered, and the future feels heavy. His story highlights that waiting is not passive. It is a place where God does deep, refining work in the heart. Together, Tina and Sam explore how seasons of delay and disappointment can become powerful opportunities to show the love of Jesus to others. Sam describes how being open about his struggles has allowed meaningful faith conversations to happen naturally, particularly with those who are searching for hope in the midst of hardship. The Weight of the Wait encourages believers to stay rooted in Scripture, connected to community, and honest with God about their pain. This conversation is gentle, real, and full of hope for anyone who finds themselves in a long season of waiting and wants to hold on to faith while still pointing others toward Jesus. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Conversations about cancer can open doors to deeper discussions. Trusting God means relying on Him during tough times. Authenticity in faith sharing is crucial. Community support is essential during difficult times. Practical spiritual practices can help maintain faith.

How Is God Speaking to Those Who Don’t Know Him?
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom interviews Dr Tania Harris, founding director of God Conversations, for a fascinating and hope-filled discussion on the question, “How Is God Speaking to Those Who Don’t Know Him?” Together, they explore how the Holy Spirit is already at work beyond the walls of the Church and among people who might describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” Drawing from real-life stories, including powerful encounters where people have experienced dreams and visions of Jesus, Tania and Tina unpack how God continues to reveal Himself to seekers in unexpected ways, from the Middle East to modern-day Australia. This conversation will change how you think about evangelism. Rather than seeing it as bringing God to others, Tania invites listeners to consider that God is already speaking. Our role is to recognise where He’s at work and join in. The episode unpacks what this means for everyday believers: how to discern spiritual openness, how to listen with humility, and how to share faith naturally and sensitively. Whether you’re part of a local church, leading a small group, or simply walking alongside friends who don’t yet believe, this episode offers fresh insight into what it truly means to partner with the Spirit in helping others encounter Jesus. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: God is already speaking to those who are seeking Him. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in evangelism. Recognizing spiritual seekers can change our approach to outreach. People often reject religion but are open to spirituality. Evangelism should be a partnership with the Holy Spirit. Openness and humility are key to hearing God's voice. We should look for opportunities to engage in spiritual conversations. The church's role is to walk alongside seekers, not coerce them. Understanding the cultural context is vital for effective evangelism. Sharing personal experiences can create meaningful connections.

Why are So Many Australians Turning Away From Christianity and What Can We Do About It?
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom explores the question: Why are so many Australians turning away from Christianity and what can we do about it? Drawing from key national research by McCrindle, NCLS and the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Tina highlights the cultural shifts shaping the nation’s spiritual landscape. From perceptions of hypocrisy to distrust in institutions, the Church’s stance on sexuality, and the rise of “spiritual but not religious” thinking, she outlines six crucial insights to help believers understand what’s really going on. More than statistics, this conversation offers practical ways to respond with empathy, authenticity, and integrity. Tina challenges listeners to rebuild trust through everyday consistency, to engage people relationally rather than institutionally, and to tell better stories about what God is doing in real lives. Whether you lead a church or simply want to represent Jesus more authentically in your world, this episode provides clarity, challenge and hope for evangelism in today’s Australia. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Many Australians are turning away from Christianity due to the Church's stance on sexuality. The perception of hypocrisy among Christians damages trust in the Church. Authenticity and vulnerability are crucial for rebuilding trust. Young Australians seek spirituality but resist traditional institutions. Every friendship a Christian builds is a chance for evangelism. The media shapes public opinion about Christianity negatively. Churches need to focus on relational discipleship and community service. Personal experiences of faith are more impactful than church programs. Engaging with young people requires authenticity and realness. Rebuilding trust involves demonstrating compassion and integrity.

What would it look like to “lead with listening” in your own relationships? Read: John 1:14 2. Many Australians admire Jesus but distrust the Church because of perceived hypocrisy.

Research shows that over a million Australians don’t personally know a Christian.

Adele shares how God called her to redeem the symbol of the cross in fashion after seeing it misused in mainstream brands. What began as a simple act of obedience during the COVID season has now grown into a thriving Christian clothing label that sparks conversations about Jesus wherever it goes. Adele reveals the stories of believers who’ve worn her designs and found that the messages, like “Jesus Saves” or “Soul Submitted”, open doors for meaningful dialogue and personal reflection. She discusses the balance between creativity, excellence, and witness, and how even the smallest acts, like putting on a faith-inspired t-shirt, can declare Christ to the world. This episode will encourage you to see everyday life as an opportunity for evangelism and to courageously live out your faith in visible, authentic ways. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Adele created Soul Submitted Designs because God asked her to. The brand aims to accurately represent the message of the cross. Clothing can provoke conversations about faith. Wearing Christian apparel can influence one's attitude and mindset. The designs are created to be fashionable yet subtle in their messaging.

Adele shared that she started Soul Submitted Designs because “God asked me to.” What does obedience to God’s prompting look like in your own life? Read: John 14:15 “If you love me, obey my commandments.” 2. Adele was stirred to create designs because she saw the cross being misrepresented. What steps can you take to represent Jesus faithfully in your own sphere of influence? Read: 2 Corinthians 5:20 - “So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 3. Through simple clothing, Adele and others have seen opportunities to share Jesus naturally. How does Colossians 3:17 (“Whatever you do… do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus”) inspire you to integrate evangelism into your daily routines - through your work, hobbies, or even what you wear? 4. Adele said, “The first conversation a Christian has is with themselves.” How does wearing or displaying your faith help keep your heart aligned with Christ? Read: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” 5. Many people who saw Adele’s shirts didn’t start conversations, but the message still reached them. How can you be faithful in “sowing” the gospel, even when you don’t see immediate results? Read: Matthew 13:3-9 “He told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one: “Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds. As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died. Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants. Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted! Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” 6. Adele’s designs opened new doors for evangelism through art and fashion. What creative skills or resources might God be calling you to use for His glory? Read: Exodus 35:31–32 “The Lord has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.” 7. Adele mentioned the challenges of running a Christian business and how she speaks with “CEO Father God” about every issue. How can perseverance in difficulty make your witness stronger? Read: Philippians 4:6–7 “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom sits down with Lachlan Shipard to hear his remarkable journey from a self-focused lifestyle of drugs, alcohol, and quick fixes to discovering lasting hope in Jesus. Lachlan openly shares the emptiness he faced even after making big life changes, and the unexpected moment when he sensed God calling him to reach out. His honesty and vulnerability give us a fresh perspective on how God draws people to Himself in surprising ways. Tina and Lachlan explore what it means to share your faith in everyday life, not through pressure or perfection, but by living authentically and pointing others to Christ. This conversation highlights the heart of evangelism and apologetics—answering real questions, walking patiently with people, and allowing your own story to testify to the goodness of God. Whether you’re new to sharing your faith or looking for encouragement to keep going, this episode will inspire you to step out with courage and compassion. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Lachlan's life was filled with partying and substance abuse before finding faith. Lachlan moved to different locations seeking change, but continued his old habits. A breakdown can lead to a moment of clarity. Understanding Jesus became clearer through personal study and community support. Sharing personal stories is vital in evangelism. Actions often speak louder than words in demonstrating faith.

Lachlan shared that before Christ, he tried to fill the void in his life with parties, drugs, money, and relationships. What are some common “quick fixes” people turn to today instead of God? Read: John 4:13-14 “Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 2. Lachlan described a turning point when he realised he had to stop blaming others and take responsibility for his life. How does taking ownership of our own sin open the door for God’s grace? Read: James 1:14–15 “but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” 3. Lachlan said he became “miserably happy”, he cleaned up his life but still felt empty until he encountered Jesus. Why do you think self-improvement alone cannot replace salvation? Read: Ephesians 2:8–9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.” 4. Lachlan’s conversion began with a thought: “Reach out to Me.” How has God drawn you (or people you know) to Himself, sometimes unexpectedly? Read: John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.” 5. When Lachlan first became a Christian, he zealously gave out Bibles and told everyone about Jesus. Have you ever been overzealous in sharing your faith? How can we balance boldness with wisdom and grace? Read: Colossians 4:5–6 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” 6. Lachlan learned that people are often reached more by watching how Christians live than by what we say. In what specific ways can your daily life shine Christ’s light to those around you? Read: Matthew 5:14–16 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” 7. If you had only two minutes to share with someone what Jesus has done in your life (as Lachlan suggests), what would you say? How can your story of Jesus’ work in your life become a bridge to evangelism? Read: Acts 22:6–10 About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, “Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?” “Who are you, Lord?” I asked. “I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,” He replied. My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of Him who was speaking to me. “What shall I do, Lord?” I asked. “ Get up,” the Lord said, “and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.”
