Share Life Today

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. Yesterday, we used our thumb to share GRACE. Today, we’re using our second finger, our pointer finger to share about MAN – meaning the human race. The Bible clearly states that man i...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. How would you like to learn an easy-to-remember, hard-to-forget Gospel presentation? During this week, using the five fingers of your hand, we’re going to put one word to each finger. The five words are GRACE, MAN, GOD, CHRIST, and FAITH. Word number one is GRACE – picture your thumb pointing toward Heaven. Grace, heave...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. What does your day-to-day look like? Do you get on a bus to get to work or carpool? How many trips do you make during your day…to get lunch, to stop at a grocery store, or run an errand? Think about the people you cross paths with in just one day of your life. It reminds me of a story of a man who boarded a bus and met ...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Our busy lives operate in community groups, and I’m not talking about Sunday school classes or weekly life groups at church. These community groups are made up of parents, even grandparents gathered at a local youth baseball diamond, the club volleyball tournament, the high school soccer game. We have opportunities to b...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. You know, I really believe with all of my heart that sharing the Gospel is the most important task that believers can do. And that’s why I love to share my faith. Jesus used the most ordinary things to lead people to Himself. At a well, Jesus spoke of the Water of Life that quenches a deep thirst. To the hungry, He pres...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. In a recent study done by Barna Research, half of Generation Z Christians that they surveyed said that they believe “letting your actions speak rather than using words to explain your faith” is evangelism. Fifty percent! Now today, we’re going to tackle two important things that we need to know regarding words and actio...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Remember, it is the Gospel itself, not our clever answers or power of persuasion that is the “power of God unto salvation.” When you’re sharing the Gospel, and you encounter an objection, the goal is to deal with the objection as simply and quickly as possible and then continue with the Gospel. Two keys to remember are ...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. If you’ve seen someone leave a Gospel tract in a restaurant or hand one to a stranger walking by, have you ever thought, “I wonder if they’ll read it?” I’d like to suggest that our first and best response should be to ask the Holy Spirit to compel the person to read it as He did with Philip. Philip was sitting on a park...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Should we still use tracts for evangelism? As I walked toward the meeting hall at a conference, I saw one of the security guards sitting and reading our “Do You Know For Sure” tract. I went over and asked him, “Do you understand what you’re reading?” And he said, “How can I unless someone explains it to me?” Immediately...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. You know, I’ve heard people say that tracts don’t work anymore. They say that they’re a thing of the past. Well, don’t tell that to Doctor (Dr.) Varga. You see, more than a decade ago, a stranger handed her a tract – one of our tracts, to be precise. The tract prompted her curiosity. She read it, discovered the free gif...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Some people criticize tract evangelism, saying that it’s cold, impersonal, or even outdated. But the truth is, it works. Dale and George worshipped at the same church. And following the service, Dale gave George a Gospel tract, thinking that George could use the tract to evangelize. George took it home with him, but ins...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. You know, it’s unthinkable. It’s February 1975, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. You leave a Gospel tract with a young gas station attendant you come across while you’re filling your tank. He takes the tract, shoves you, gives you an earful; and while you’re stammering for words, he walks away. Now, if you’re someone who li...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Psalm 36:5 tells us, “Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.” And it’s so true—God is faithful. And I love telling other people about how faithful He’s been to me. Now, it reminds me of the passage in Joshua 4, where the Israelites cross over the Jordan River. When God part...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. What have you seen God do in your life? Now, the truth is, we all have hundreds of what we like to call “God stories.” These are times you’ve experienced God moving in your life, like a change that He’s brought about, an answered prayer, a restored relationship, or the moment you put your saving faith in Jesus. Now when...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. In a culture that combats finding what is true and what’s a lie, people now more than ever are looking for genuine, authentic relationships. They want to hear the truth. When it comes to sharing our testimonies, it’s important to remember to be genuine and vulnerable when telling others our story. God may have you shari...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. You know, I meet a lot of Christians who tell me that their story doesn't matter. Now, maybe that’s you! Have you ever questioned the significance of your testimony or thought no one would be interested in hearing it? Well, allow me to share a profound truth from Revelation 12:11 with you: “And they overcame [the enemy]...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. How do we make the connection? Well, when it comes to sharing the most important part of our lives, our relationship with Jesus, how do we naturally and lovingly start a conversation? Well, think about what you like to talk about with your friends. You want to hear about their life! And this is true about your coworkers...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Can you think of a time when you put your foot in your mouth? I mean, everyone can recall a moment they wanted to blend in with the wall behind them because of something they said. We're all human—it happens! But we don't want that to happen when we share the Gospel. So today, I'd like to share an icebreaker that may be...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. A lot of us have fears when it comes to sharing our faith. For many, it’s the thought of saying the wrong thing. If we stumble over our words or something doesn't come out exactly the way we want it, we think that God won't use it. Well, not at all! The Bible shows us time and time again that God can use anyone, even so...
