A couple weeks back Perry saw an open door to share his faith in the sauna. It started out great but quickly it crashed and burned.  

Wouldn’t it be great to have an evangelism coach? Someone who could give us some tips and pointers on how to engage those who don’t know Jesus in a winsome way?

Aaron Bolduc of Ambassadors For Christ International joins the team to coach us up on sharing Jesus with the world He SO loves!

Perry and Shawna both share times when it didn’t go as hoped. And Aaron has some encouragement for those times, and how to walk away from them actually feeling encouraged.

Aaron also offers some tips for opening up a conversation about God and the Bible, the difference between outreach and evangelism, and the importance of talking to God about people before we talk to people about God.

Drama in the Sauna

Just a few words can have a lasting impact. Shawna, Ben and Perry share words that wounded their young hearts. I’m sure you have wounds of your own. Messages that landed in your heart that directly contradict how God feels about you. If God spoke to those wounds, what would He say?

Then, if you’ve made decisions that have left you and others hurt – that have brought you to a place that feels dark or desperate – you’re not alone.

Dr. Chris Rappazini, author of Moving Forward After Messing Up reminds us that God is the God of second chances. He shares about his regret in not going after his brother when he went off the deep end.

We talk about the difference between shame and conviction and how hard it is to forgive ourselves even when we know that we are forgiven by God.

Also, in this episode, Shawna reveals how not knowing what to tell her 8-year-old daughter accidentally led to a life shaping moment for both of them.

When Perry first gave his life over to Jesus on the playground in 5th grade, his first prayer as a believer was, “Lord don’t let me ever fall away.” It showed a desire to go the distance but also a fear of not really being safe forever. Can we know we’re safe in God’s family?

Lastly, Shawna shares how her short stint in beauty pageants left her feeling like every day she was walking the runway. Perry points out that she was being discipled in “perfection.” Shawna needed the gospel to remind her that she is already crowned in God’s eyes.

Words That Leave a Lifelong Wound

It’s something Perry admits he has done and does. But because God has put eternity in our hearts He the only One who can give us the joy we long for.

Shawna describes following Jesus as a daily dethroning of self. It’s pride that causes us to think that our own thoughts and ideas supersede God’s. Only humility can correct that.

We often cry out to God when we’re scared and we don’t know what to do. But in areas where we have confidence we tend to rely on our own understanding instead of asking God for advice.

Last, at the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, Israeli soldiers were asking their wives to abort their babies because of their fear of the future.

But now that these soldiers have seen death, they are begging their wives to have those babies. That’s where the Israeli pro-life team Efrat has stepped in.

Americans are obsessed with murder.  True crime podcasts and documentaries are often found at the top of ratings charts. 

For Decades, cold-case homicide detective J. Warner Wallace investigated the causes behind deaths and murders, chasing one lead after another for months as he attempted to solve the case.

Investigating death taught Wallace a great deal about life and the nature of people. In his latest book, The Truth in True Crime, Wallace explores the clues lying behind our human nature as he uncovers fifteen life-truths gleaned from both contemporary murder investigations and ancient Biblical wisdom.

Truths like: Human beings were created for worship, for community, to pursue humility, and to seek justice and mercy.

Wallace uses his experience as a homicide detective to give a one-of-a-kind look at human nature, the struggles we face, and how each of us desires and seeks Truth.

By highlighting details of real-life death investigations, Wallace invites us into the drama, only to find out what really matters in the end.
