Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

How good is good enough to go to Heaven? Well, someone once answered this question to me with a batch of chocolate chip cookies. You can put the highest quality of ingredients in the batter; but if you use just one rotten egg, it ruins the whole batch. Just like a bad egg in a cookie batch, even one sin ruins our chance...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Let's suppose I stood before a judge with fifty thousand parking tickets; and in my opportunity to speak, I asked the judge, "Your Honor, would you please let me go? I promise I’ll be a perfect driver from now on." Do you think that judge should declare me free? If he or she did, they couldn’t be considered a just judge...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Have you ever put your hope in another person? Well, if that person is trustworthy, it’s fine! But here's the problem with placing your hope in other people: sometimes, they let you down. But I am here to tell you that placing your hope in Jesus will never result in you being let down. Lamentations 3 says this: "Therefo...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

What are you completely certain about? You can be sure the sun will rise to the east and set to the west. You can be sure that one plus one will always equal two. And you can be absolutely certain that you cannot get into Heaven because of the good things you've done. Now, before you write that off as a calloused statem...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

When God gives us new eyes, He also gives us new steps. The Apostle Paul spoke of a deep burden for those who didn’t yet know Christ. His heart moved his feet. Colossians tells us to make the most of every opportunity, and Jude reminds us to show mercy, meeting people where they are. Sharing the Gospel is about obedienc...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells us three powerful stories about something lost: a sheep, a coin, and a son. And in each story, the message is clear. No one is insignificant. Heaven rejoices over just one person that turns to God. Jesus shows us a Shepherd who leaves the 99 to find the one, a woman who scours her house for a sin...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Have you ever wondered how God feels about those who are far from Him? Well, Jesus made it clear in Luke nineteen when He said He came to seek and to save that which is lost. God’s heart is not one of condemnation, but compassion. Through the prophet Ezekiel, the Lord says that He takes no pleasure in the death of the w...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Why does vision matter when it comes to sharing our faith? Well, because Scripture tells us the reality of lostness. Isaiah says that all of us, like sheep, have gone astray. Ephesians reminds us that apart from Christ, people are spiritually dead in sin. And Second Corinthians explains that many are blinded to the trut...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

You know, it’s easy to see people the way the world sees them, by appearances, attitudes, or behavior. But God invites us to see differently. First Samuel 16 reminds us that while people look at the outward appearance, the Lord looks at the heart. Jesus trained His disciples to lift their eyes and to see people not as i...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

There are moments in life when it’s hard to see what God is doing. Circumstances may feel uncertain, and the future may seem unclear. Yet God speaks words of hope to His people in Isaiah 43:19, saying, “See, I am doing a new thing; now it springs up, do you not perceive it?” Even when we don’t recognize it, God is activ...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

You know, it’s easy to get stuck looking backward. Past failures. Past pain. Past mistakes. But God calls us to lift our eyes. In Isaiah 43:18, He says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” God doesn’t want our past to hold us captive. Through Jesus Christ, our past is forgiven, our guilt is removed, an...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

In a world filled with uncertainty, many people wonder what comes next. Pain, loss, and change reminds us how temporary this life can be. But for those who trust in Christ, the Bible offers a powerful promise. In Isaiah 65:17, the Lord says, “I will create a new heaven and a new earth.” God is preparing something far gr...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Our world is searching for peace. We see it in our neighborhoods, our cities, and even in our own homes. People talk about peace, but so often we find division, fear, and unrest. The Bible reminds us that true peace doesn’t come from agreements or good intentions. It comes from a Person. Ephesians 2:15 tells us that Jes...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Have you ever wished you could start over? A fresh page. A clean slate. Maybe you’re carrying regrets from last year, or even years ago. Things you wish you could undo. But the good news is this: God specializes in new beginnings. In Revelation 21:5, the Lord declares, “Behold, I make all things new.” Not some things. N...

Today, we're coming to the final day of learning an easy-to-remember, hard-to-forget Gospel presentation. We’ve been using the five fingers of our hand as our learning aid.

This week, we’re learning an easy-to-remember Gospel presentation. And we’re using the five fingers of our hand as a learning aid. Today we’ll focus on Word #3 – God, and picture your middle finger – the longest, greatest finger representing the greatest being in all the universe which we know to be God. Of the many asp...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

This week we’re learning an easy to remember Gospel presentation. We’re using the five fingers of our hand to remember five Gospel words – one each day. Yesterday was GRACE – and we used our thumb pointing toward Heaven to remember that Heaven is free…not earned or deserved. Today, we’re using our second finger, our poi...
