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.

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. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Ger Jones emphasizes 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.

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. If you’ve ever wondered whether events are still relevant, how to motivate Christians to share their faith, or how churches can see lasting fruit, this episode will challenge and inspire you.

Relational evangelism is essential in a skeptical culture. Events can create awareness and push Christians to act. Follow-up after evangelism events is critical for long-term success. Cultural context influences the effectiveness of evangelism efforts. Churches need to prepare their local soil for evangelism. Major cultural events can be leveraged for evangelism opportunities.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

Greg Stier on Growing A Youth Ministry by Multiplying Gospel Conversations
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom speaks with Greg Stier, founder of Dare to Share Ministries, about how youth ministries can grow by multiplying gospel conversations. Greg shares his remarkable journey of faith, from growing up in a tough family to discovering the power of the gospel as a teenager, and how that experience fuels his passion to mobilise young people around the world. With decades of experience equipping leaders, Greg explains why evangelism must be central to discipleship and why teens are uniquely positioned to influence their peers for Christ. Together, Tina and Greg explore how to move from a programme-driven youth ministry to one that is truly mission-driven. They discuss the importance of gospel urgency, fluency, and strategy, as well as practical tools like the “Ask, Admire, Admit” approach to sharing faith in everyday conversations. Listeners will be inspired by the vision of gospel-advancing ministries that multiply disciples and see young people grow spiritually as they boldly live and share the good news of Jesus. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Greg Steer emphasises the importance of mobilising teens to share the gospel. The average teen in a gospel advancing group has 50 gospel conversations per year. Youth leaders must model evangelism for their students. Relational evangelism is key to effective youth ministry. Fear of rejection is a significant barrier for teens in sharing their faith. Awkwardness in conversations can lead to meaningful connections. Culturally relevant strategies are essential for effective evangelism. Equipping teens with gospel fluency is crucial for their confidence And more… SHORT VIDEO - From Gospel-Centred to Gospel-Advancing *SUPPORT THIS PODCAST - Tell me how *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 Inclusive Conversations: Creating a Gateway to the Gospel How to Reach Different Generations With The Gospel Bringing The Kingdom to Young People with Eric Agyeman Transforming Lives Through the Power of Conversations *STAY CONNECTED TO GREG STIER & DARE TO SHARE Greg Stier Website - Instagram - Facebook - YouTube Dare 2 Share Ministries Website - Instagram - Facebook - YouTube Day of Global Youth Evangelism - Website A Generation in Reach Report - Download *GET THE LATEST INFORMATION FROM EVANGELISM IN AUSTRALIA Subscribe to EIA EIA Website EIA YouTube Channel EIA Instagram EIA Facebook Tina Waldrom on Facebook Tina Waldrom on Instagram Discussion Questions 1. Why is it important to reach teenagers with the gospel while they are young? Consider Greg’s point that 80% of people come to Christ before 18. Read: “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1). 2. Jesus mobilised His mostly teenage disciples to share the gospel (Matthew 4:19; Luke 9–10). What can we learn from His model of moving from model → mobilise → multiply? How might this shape youth ministry today? 3. Greg talks about gospel urgency, fluency, and strategy. Which of these three do you most need to grow in, and how can you develop it? Read: “Always be prepared to give an answer…with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15). 4. Why is “awkward awesome” when sharing faith? How does embracing awkward moments open doors for gospel conversations? Read: Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman (John 4:16–18). 5. What role should leaders play in modelling evangelism for young people? Read: “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1)? 6. Greg shared that students who share their faith grow spiritually faster. Why do you think evangelism accelerates discipleship? Read: James 2:22 “You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.” 7. Fear of rejection is one of the biggest barriers for teens (and adults) in evangelism. How does the gospel give courage to overcome this fear? Read: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7).

Tina Waldrom on Legacy Evangelism and Why It Matters To Churches Today
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom unpacks a powerful idea the Lord has placed on her heart: legacy evangelism. Too often we think of legacy in terms of money, property, or achievements, but Tina explains that true legacy is about what we leave in people, not just for people. Drawing from Scripture and real-life examples, she reminds us that the way we model evangelism in our everyday lives can inspire others to do the same. Our example becomes our legacy, and whether as individuals or as churches, the seeds we sow today, seen or unseen, can grow into fruit that impacts generations to come. Tina shares inspiring stories, from the ripple effect of Edward Kimball’s quiet witness that ultimately influenced Billy Graham, to the generational faith passed from Lois to Eunice to Timothy in the Bible. She highlights how legacy evangelism isn’t just for the well-known or the famous but is built through ordinary faithfulness, acts of kindness, everyday prayers, and sharing our personal stories. This episode challenges us to ask: what legacy of evangelism are we leaving behind? Will people remember us as those who kept the good news to ourselves, or as those who sowed generously into others’ lives? Be encouraged to let legacy become your motivation for sharing Jesus and shaping a future that outlives you. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Legacy is what you leave behind in people, not just for them. Our example becomes our legacy in evangelism. No act of witness is ever wasted; seeds bear fruit later. Faith can be passed down through generations. Ordinary acts of kindness can lead to extraordinary impacts. The life of Jesus is the greatest legacy we can follow. We must preach the good news through words and actions. Churches should lean into the concept of legacy in outreach. Identifying individuals to sow into can create lasting change. The full impact of our legacy may only be seen in eternity.

When you hear the word “legacy,” what comes to mind? Money, property, reputation, or something deeper? How does Jesus call us to think about legacy differently? Read: Matthew 6:19–20 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth… But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” 2. DL Moody said, “Out of 100 people, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.” What would people “read” about evangelism if they looked at your life or your church? Read: 1 Corinthians 11:1 “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” 3. Paul wrote that he planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow. How can you stay motivated to share your faith, even when you don’t see immediate results? Read: 1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.” 4. Timothy’s faith was passed down from his grandmother Lois to his mother Eunice, and then to him. How are you sowing faith into the next generation whether your children, grandchildren, or spiritual children? Read: 2 Timothy 1:5 “I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice…” 5. The Samaritan woman simply shared her story, and many believed. What “ordinary” acts of kindness, consistency, or testimony might God use in your life to point people to Jesus? Read: John 4:39 “Many of the Samaritans… believed in him because of the woman’s testimony.” 6. Jesus didn’t leave behind property or writings, but He left behind disciples, His message, and His example. Which of these three legacies do you feel most challenged to carry forward today - discipleship, proclaiming the gospel, or living with compassion and sacrifice? Read: John 13:34–35 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” 7. Legacy is built in many small, faithful moments. What is one practical step you can take this week, such as a prayer, an act of kindness, or a simple mention of Jesus that could plant a seed in someone’s life? Read: Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Bringing the Gospel to the Jewish Community with Lawrence Hirsch
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 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.”

Ideas Convention: Rob Martin Answers the Bigger Questions
In this episode, Tina Waldrom continues her conversation with Pastor Rob Martin. This time, the focus turns to big questions secular people ask and how believers can engage. The pandemic for one exposed deep issues within society. Rob reflects on the nature of suffering and how people have wrestled with feelings of loss, fear, and uncertainty during this time. He explains that the Christian faith doesn’t shy away from suffering but instead provides a framework of hope and meaning, pointing to the presence of Christ in the middle of life’s hardest moments. Personal stories are also shared, reminding listeners that being open about our struggles can build bridges of understanding and compassion. The episode also highlights how these themes connect with evangelism and the heart behind the Ideas Convention. Rob Martin explains that sharing our pain alongside the hope we’ve found in Christ helps others see that the gospel is not just theory but real good news for everyday life. Evangelism, he suggests, is less about having neat answers and more about walking with people in their questions, pointing them to Jesus as the ultimate source of comfort and transformation. Building on the themes of last week’s episode, which gave an overview of the Ideas Convention, this conversation equips Christians to engage culture authentically, demonstrating how the message of Christ speaks directly into the even bigger questions people are asking today.

How can simple acts of obedience, like giving someone a Bible, open the door to life-changing encounters with Jesus? Reflect on the impact of the young woman giving Omar a Bible in high school. Read: Isaiah 55:11 – “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” 2. What does it mean to you personally to “take the Gospel to the last places first”? Are there “unreached” or overlooked places in your own community or circles? Reflect on the metaphor Omar shared about people living farthest from the “bakery” not even receiving crumbs. Read: Romans 15:20 – “It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.” 3. When have you seen God use unexpected detours or difficulties to accomplish His purpose in your life or in sharing the Gospel? Reflect on Omar’s story of how changing their walking route in Bangladesh led them to villages they hadn’t planned to visit. Read: Proverbs 16:9 – “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” 4. What is one step you can take this week to “mobilise” others, like Omar does, to reach the unreached—whether it’s across the world or across the street? Reflect on how Omar mobilises thousands and started initiatives like the 5511 Project. Read: Matthew 28:19-20 – “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” 5. Where is your personal "line" of comfort when it comes to evangelism, and what might it look like for you to "go beyond" it? Reflect on the areas of your life where sharing your faith feels comfortable and predictable. What might God be asking you to step into that feels unfamiliar or inconvenient? Read: Acts 1:8 – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses... to the ends of the earth.” 6. Have you experienced or do you expect to encounter hostility or rejection when sharing the gospel? How does Jesus' teaching on finding "persons of peace" (Luke 10:5-6) apply to your situation? Consider how you might discern and focus on those who are open to hearing the gospel in your circles of influence. Read: Luke 10:5-6 – “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them...” 7. Are your conversations more about your church or about Jesus Himself? Omar challenged believers to focus their conversations on Jesus rather than on church activities. How can you make Christ the centre of your conversations? Read: 1 Corinthians 2:2 – “For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.”

The episode unpacks creative and practical ways churches can share Jesus by being genuinely involved in their local communities. From the idea of ‘dinner church’, where people gather around meals for spiritual conversations to setting up small neighbourhood groups, the episode shows how evangelism can thrive when it’s built on real relationships and everyday moments. The guests highlight that effective outreach doesn’t have to be flashy, it just needs to be heartfelt and rooted in the love of Christ. Throughout the conversation, listeners are encouraged to think differently about what evangelism looks like in today’s world. Rather than relying only on traditional methods, churches are invited to explore fresh ways to connect with people where they are. This roundup reminds us that community engagement and evangelism go hand in hand. By being present, approachable, and open to trying new things, believers can help others encounter the gospel in ways that are both meaningful and culturally relevant. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Community engagement is essential for effective evangelism. Dinner church fosters genuine connections among participants. Belonging and hospitality are key to community engagement. Serving the community can take many simple forms. Listening to community needs is crucial for outreach.

Are you actively "going" into your community, or waiting for people to come to you? Phil Smith referenced Luke 10 as the foundation for community engagement. Jesus sends His disciples into the towns. Evangelism starts with a posture of movement, not waiting. What does “going” look like in your neighborhood, workplace, or local setting? READ: “Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.” — Luke 10:3 (NIV) 2. Who are the "people of peace" in your life that God might be calling you to connect with? Phil spoke of putting your feet under the table and listening. These people of peace are often doorways into broader ministry opportunities. Can you identify someone who is open to relationship or spiritual conversation? How can you go deeper? READ: “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them.” — Luke 10:5–6 (NIV) 3. How does your rhythm of life reflect the values of “belong, eat, listen, learn, and serve”? Which of these five rhythms are you living out regularly? Which need more intentionality? READ: “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” — Romans 12:13 (NIV) 4. How might sharing a meal become a setting for sharing Jesus? “Dinner Church” was more than a meal—it was fellowship, openness, and organic ministry. Could you use meals as a setting for spiritual conversations? Who might you invite to your table? READ: “They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.” — Acts 2:46–47 (NIV) 5. Are you replicating what you talk about, or what you actually do? In what areas might your lifestyle need to align more with your message of faith? READ: “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 11:1 (NIV) 6. What simple acts of service could open the door to spiritual conversations in your neighborhood? What are some everyday needs in your community you could help meet? READ: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 (NIV) 7. How has God uniquely gifted your church (or you personally) to meet the needs of your community? What passions, skills, or resources do you have that God might use to serve and reach your community? READ: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace.” — 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

Each of them shares down-to-earth advice on how churches can build genuine relationships with the people in their local areas. They talk about the power of simply showing up, being present, and keeping things uncomplicated. Instead of waiting for big moments, these leaders encourage trying new things, even if they don’t always go to plan—because that’s how meaningful growth happens in both faith and outreach. The conversation is a practical and inspiring reminder that evangelism isn’t just about preaching; it’s about loving your neighbour and meeting real needs.

This episode will help you see how small, intentional actions can open big doors for sharing Jesus. If you've ever wondered how community engagement and evangelism work together, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and plenty of ideas to start where you are. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Church should model radical simplicity in community engagement. Presence in the community is essential before preaching. Church work and community work should not be separated. Engaging with local pain points is crucial for effective outreach. Church leaders should reflect on their community impact regularly.

How can I personally “move into the neighbourhood” and be present where people are, instead of expecting them to come to me? Reflect on how you can live a life of incarnational presence. What does it look like to be with people in your neighbourhood rather than simply doing church for them? Read: 📖 John 1:14 (MSG) — “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighbourhood.” 📖 Luke 10:9 — “Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’” 2. In what ways does hospitality reflect the heart of the gospel, and how can I practice it more intentionally? How might shared meals, open homes, or simple conversations become sacred spaces for evangelism? Read: 📖 Romans 12:13 — “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” Rosaria Butterfield: “Hospitality is the ground zero of the Christian life.” 3. What are the real needs in my community, and how is God already at work there? Take a walk in your neighbourhood this week. Listen, observe, and ask: What is God already doing here? How can I join in? Read: 📖 Jeremiah 29:7 — “Seek the peace and prosperity of the city... Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” 📖 Philippians 2:4 — “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” 4. Are we, as a small group or church, serving more than we’re spending on ourselves? Review your time, energy, and finances. How much is being invested outwardly toward your community? Read: 📖 Acts 20:35 — “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” William Temple: “The church is the only society that exists for the benefit of those who are not its members.” 5. Am I willing to take risks, even fail, in order to follow the Holy Spirit into new areas of mission? What “safe” patterns in my life or church need to be let go so I can step out in faith? Read: 📖 Isaiah 43:19 — “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” Marcus Watson: “Failure can be a gift... The church must risk and even fail as it follows the Holy Spirit out of its walls and into the world.” 6. What would change if we saw our neighbourhood as our primary mission field? What does it mean for your group or church to be the light, not just look polished? What practical steps could you take this week to begin? Read: 📖 Matthew 5:14–16 — “You are the light of the world... let your light shine before others.” Hudson Taylor: “The Great Commission is not an option to be considered. It is a command to be obeyed.” 7. How can we cultivate a rhythm of action and reflection to stay aligned with God’s mission? Start a monthly rhythm of missional reflection. Ask: What are we learning about God’s mission here? Read: 📖 Mark 6:30–31 — “The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught... Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Marcus Watson’s practice: Experiment → Reflect → Adapt.

Voices of Fire - The Ultimate Social Justice and Evangelism Roundup
Tina Waldrom brings together insights from three guests who are passionate about living out the gospel through love and action in this social justice and evangelism roundup. Hear from Kim Hammond, Jon Owen and Rachel Dunwell as they explore the differences between biblical justice and the broader idea of social justice, helping listeners understand how Scripture calls Christians to restore what’s broken with mercy and truth. The conversation highlights that evangelism isn’t just about preaching—it’s also about stepping into people’s lives with compassion, kindness, and a willingness to meet real, practical needs. This episode digs deep into what it looks like for the Church to be a place that not only shares the good news but also shows it through justice and advocacy. Whether it’s standing up for the vulnerable or creating safe spaces for the hurting, this social justice and evangelism roundup challenges believers to live with purpose. Listeners are encouraged to see justice as a central part of God’s heart, not just a side issue. As we open our hearts to those in need, we naturally create more meaningful opportunities to share our faith in ways that are real, relational, and deeply transformative. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Biblical justice is the heartbeat of God. Social justice can be polarising but is essential to the gospel. We need to educate ourselves about global injustices. Compassion and fairness are central to biblical justice. Meeting practical needs is crucial for sharing the gospel. The church must embrace God's mandate for justice. Creating safe spaces is vital for healing and connection.

How does biblical justice differ from social justice, and why is that distinction important for Christians who want to share their faith? Read: Micah 6:8 – “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” 2. In what ways can the Church reframe justice as essential—not optional—for every believer's discipleship and mission? Read: Isaiah 1:17 – “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.” 3. How does the concept of shalom (peace/wholeness) reshape your understanding of evangelism and helping others experience the Kingdom of God? Read: Jeremiah 29:7 – “Seek the peace (shalom) of the city… and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace.” 4.

Read: Romans 2:4 – “God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance.” 7. Are you personally sent to engage in justice as part of your evangelistic witness?

How Evangelism and Social Justice Work Together with Tina Waldrom
In this episode, Tina Waldrom takes a closer look at how evangelism and social justice go hand in hand. Drawing from conversations with past guests – Kim Hammond, Jon Owen and Rachel Dunwell – she unpacks what it means to live out our faith in a world full of inequality and hurt. The episode highlights how sharing the good news isn’t just about words—it’s about action too. Evangelism becomes more powerful when it’s rooted in biblical justice and expressed through acts of compassion, kindness, and standing up for what’s right. Listeners are invited to consider how they can play a personal role in addressing injustice while pointing people to Jesus. From speaking up for the vulnerable to serving those in need, evangelism can flourish when believers commit to living out the gospel with both truth and love. Tina reminds us that justice isn’t a side issue—it’s part of the heart of God. As we pursue justice in our everyday lives, we create more meaningful opportunities to share our faith in a way that’s authentic, relational, and deeply impactful. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Biblical justice is not an add-on to the gospel; it is the gospel. Justice is about restoring what is broken with mercy. Evangelism should create safe spaces for people. Personal stories of trauma can lead to powerful advocacy. The heart of God is for the oppressed and marginalised.. Justice and evangelism are not separate; they are intertwined.

Where in your life might you be more influenced by cultural ideas of justice than by God's call to biblical justice? Reflect on areas where your beliefs or actions align more with societal trends than with God's justice rooted in righteousness and mercy. How can you realign your understanding and practice? Read: “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” – Micah 6:8 2. What justice issue is God stirring in your heart, and how might it relate to your personal story of redemption? Identify the “redemptive thread” in your life. How could God use your past pain or passion to bring hope or freedom to others? Read: “The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” – Psalm 9:9 “...comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” – 2 Corinthians 1:4 3. What would it look like for you to “give good news” before speaking it? Consider how your everyday actions—radical hospitality, compassion, or practical help—can be a powerful form of evangelism. Read: “Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” – 1 John 3:18 “...we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.” – 1 Thessalonians 2:8 4. How can you intentionally create “safe and sacred spaces” in your life where others feel seen, valued, and loved?

Read: Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” – Proverbs 31:8–9 “Defend the oppressed.” – Isaiah 1:17 6. How are you integrating compassion and justice into your sharing of the gospel? Read: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me… to proclaim good news to the poor… to set the oppressed free…” – Luke 4:18 7. Who in your life is far from faith that you could love deeply this week—and what would loving them well look like? Read: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” – Mark 12:31

Voices of Fire - The Ultimate Prophecy & Evangelism Roundup
In this episode, Tina Waldrom shares a recap covering three seasoned ministers about how the prophetic and evangelism go hand in hand. The group breaks down what it means to live a prophetic life—not just for those who carry the title of prophet, but for everyday believers who want to hear God’s voice and follow His lead. They share real-life stories that show how prophetic moments, no matter how small, can spark genuine conversations about faith. The episode encourages listeners to recognise the different ways God speaks to people and to develop the courage to act on what they hear, especially in everyday situations. The episode also touches on the role of prophets today, explaining that they’re not just there to speak on behalf of God, but to help others hear Him more clearly. Tina highlights the need for the Church to evolve - especially after the changes brought on by COVID-19. Church structures may need to loosen control so that individuals are empowered to step into their calling. This prophecy and evangelism roundup challenges the Church to let go of outdated models and embrace a new season where Spirit-led evangelism is personal, powerful, and led by people willing to listen and respond to God’s voice. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: The prophetic is one of the five spiritual gifts mentioned in scripture. Everyone can live a prophetic life, not just those in the office of a prophet. God speaks differently to different people, and we must recognise our unique ways of hearing. Hearing God's voice often requires time and a willingness to pause. Church structures may need to change to empower individuals for outreach.

How Prophecy and Evangelism Work Together with Tina Waldrom
In this episode, Tina Waldrom explores how prophecy and evangelism work together, showing that they’re not separate or competing gifts, but designed to complement each other. She explains that evangelism isn’t meant to be done alone or in our own strength—it’s something we do in partnership with the Holy Spirit. By learning to listen to God’s voice, we can share our faith in ways that are timely, personal, and deeply meaningful to the people we’re reaching. Tina unpacks how prophecy—when it’s truly biblical—is all about strengthening, encouraging, and comforting others, which fits beautifully alongside the heart of evangelism. Tina also shares inspiring stories of prophetic evangelism in action, where simple acts of obedience and listening to God led to powerful moments of connection and transformation. She encourages every believer—not just the “spiritually gifted”—to be open to hearing from God as they reach out to others. The episode is a clear call to the church: it’s time to step out with boldness and sensitivity, allowing God to lead our conversations and actions. If you’ve ever wondered how to make your evangelism more Spirit-led and effective, this episode offers both encouragement and practical insight. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Evangelism and prophecy are meant to work together. Listening to the Holy Spirit is crucial in evangelism. Prophecy is about strengthening, encouraging, and comforting others. Every Christian can hear God's voice and share it. Prophetic evangelism makes the gospel personal. Evangelism without prophecy can feel mechanical. Prophecy without evangelism can be self-contained. Together, they reveal a loving and personal God.

Reclaiming Evangelism and Why It Still Matters Today
Why is it so important to hold onto the word "evangelism" within the church? In this episode, Tina Waldrom talks about reclaiming evangelism. Over time, the term has picked up some negative baggage, often misunderstood or linked with pressure-filled or outdated methods. Tina challenges that thinking, reminding listeners that evangelism, at its heart, is simply about sharing good news. She explains that it’s something deeply relational, spiritual, and meant to be lived out in everyday life, not just in formal church settings or special events. Tina also encourages believers to see evangelism as something we all can do, something that should reflect love, authenticity, and the hope we have in Christ. Rather than ditching the word altogether, she calls for a fresh understanding that fits today’s culture while staying true to its biblical roots. The episode wraps up with a powerful call to action: for Christians to embrace evangelism as a vital and joyful part of following Jesus. If you've ever felt unsure or uneasy about the term, this episode will inspire you to see it in a whole new light. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: The word evangelism needs to be reclaimed, not abandoned. Evangelism is about sharing good news, not pressure or performance. The early church viewed evangelism as a core identity. Evangelism should be relational and spirit-led. Cultural awareness is essential in modern evangelism. We risk losing clarity about our calling if we drop the word evangelism. Evangelism is for everyone, not just pastors or extroverts. The Great Commission remains unchanged: go and make disciples.
