Share Life Today

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

"Preach the Gospel at all times; when necessary, use words.” Now, I've heard this famous quote over the years, and frankly it's silly if you think about it. In fact, I've seen this not work in my own life. When I lived in Nebraska, I had a neighbor I was good friends with. I did all sort of nice things for him, hoping h...

The Holy Spirit is softening and drawing hearts to Himself each and every day. And we can be a part of His work. One of the very best ways to join the Holy Spirit is by praying for what we like to call “Divine Appointments.” I can’t tell you how many times He has led me a person who was waiting for someone to share the ...

Picture yourself in heaven with the glory of God before you. Every person is there for the judgement. You look across the crowd and see one of your closest friends there. You know they haven't made a personal decision to follow Christ. Now I don't know about you, but for me there is literally nothing that anyone could s...

Do you ever get nervous about sharing the Gospel? Well by getting prepared with a few simple tips, we can speak the Gospel with confidence! One of today's tips is to address questions. Even though we may hear difficult questions in a spiritual conversation, we don’t need to fear them. Answer them as quickly as possible,...

How do you start a conversation about Jesus? Sometimes, all it takes is having something to connect over. When Jesus was at the well in Samaria, he started a conversation on spiritual things with the Samaritan woman by using the water in the well! They began talking about physical water through Jesus asking for a drink....

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...

One of the hardest things that we can ever face in life is a close encounter with death. Whether it is ourself or the loss of a loved one, these are life-changing and difficult times. But God can use these very moments to draw us or others to Himself. This is exactly what happened in Barry's life. In college, he met a g...

Let me ask you a question...on a scale from one to ten, how fulfilling would you say your life is? What makes it that number? And would having more of a relationship with God make that number go up or down? These are some really impactful questions we can use when talking with our family and friends about God. They’re o...

Have you ever been unsure on how to start sharing the Gospel? Maybe you are ready to talk about spiritual things with the people in your life, but you're just not sure how to bring it up. Well this week, I’d like to share with you some “springboards” that can help you start a spiritual conversation. One of the best ways...

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

In the famous Lord's Prayer, we read, "Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." What would God's kingdom here on earth look like? Well, we would have to take a look at heaven first to answer that. Heaven is described as having every tribe, every tongue, every nation praising and glorifying the Lo...

What would the world look like if we saw it through God's eyes? Would we be more brave? Compassionate? Would our priorities change? In the Old Testament, God granted the prophet Elisha's request to let his servant see the reality of their situation through His eyes. Instead of trembling in fear from the earthly military...

We live in a fractured, broken world. Now, you’re probably saying, "John...that’s not news to me." And you're right—you can turn on the TV and see the evil and destruction that happens every day because of sin. All human beings have had this same problem—our wrongdoings separate us from a holy and just God. But the beau...

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

Why do we share the Gospel? Well, the simplest answer is because Jesus told us to. After He showed Himself to the disciples and many others after His resurrection, He left them with the Great Commission. "Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of t...

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 ...

Revelation 12:11 says that we will defeat the enemy by “the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.” That kind of power shouldn't be hidden—your story should be shared boldly! Jesus will use it as you tell of His goodness and love to those around you. This is exactly what’s happening in Sharon's life. Before sh...

“What impact could I possibly make?” Have you ever felt that way before? Well, Isabella certainly did. But she stepped outside her comfort zone and attended an evangelism discipleship training in Arizona. She went out into the community with a team and spoke to a man named Chris. They asked him two great questions: if h...

Sometimes, it can be a struggle to leave the past in the past. Annie knows this well. Her siblings were in and out of prison, and her dad was an alcoholic. While two of her brothers were in two separate prisons, they both met Jesus, wrote home to their mother sharing their faith in Christ! And this led Annie to also pla...

“Now that Jesus came into my life, he took away the emptiness I once felt within my heart.” Maybe your story sounds similar to that of Jonathan's. He says that his life has never been the same since he met Jesus. When you place your faith in Jesus, everything changes. You're no longer known by your sin and past mistakes...

Brandon was not your typical church kid and certainly not one to spread the Gospel. From the age of fifteen, until he was twenty, Brandon was a thief. He was finally convicted of armed robbery at 20 years old and remained in prison for 15 years. But guess what?! He met Jesus in prison and was made completely new! Now a ...
