I Will Remember

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 11:55:18 -0000

How many times has God stepped into your life and worked a miracle? It’s so easy to ask for God’s help and then forget to thank Him after His rescue. You need to stop and remember and give God praise for His faithfulness for your own edification and for the edification of everyone God prompts you to share your story with. People who are struggling now with what you were struggling with then and whose lives can be changed forever by your story of God’s faithfulness to you! No one can tell these stories but you and how foolish to waste them on just yourself when they can impact multitudes of lives. Your stories are powerful because they’re real and they have the power to change lives every time you use them to move people closer to Jesus!

Salvation Off-Script

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 11:55:55 -0000

In this episode, host Barry Meguiar talks about the best way to share our faith. Sharing
God’s word doesn’t require memorization or a practiced script. You must be genuine and
meet a person where they are, so that the Holy Spirit can help you establish and true
relationship and trust.

We must always be ready to have a conversation about our faith with the people we meet.
It’s not about having a sales pitch or sharing memorized Scripture.
It’s about being able to connect in a genuine way and to have interactions
that the Holy Spirit can guide us through. We are God’s representatives, and everyone needs
to be able to see God in us and to hear our heart for God as we work to lead people, every day, closer to Jesus.

Like it or not, you’re a city set on a hill for all to see and watch, every when you don’t know they’re watching. you’re a full-time witness, either for the defense or the prosecution of the Gospel.

More Than Works

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:55:55 -0000

In this episode, host Barry Meguiar talks about the rewards we will get in Heaven as believers and doers of the Word. God’s purpose for your life is the same as His purpose – to seek and save the lost. What does this look like in your life?

While works cannot guarantee that we will get into Heaven, the work we do on Earth will determine our rewards when we reach our final destination. It’s not a matter of our works here on Earth, but a matter of our faithfulness and of our willingness to lead people, every day, closer to Jesus.

All Things Work Together for Good

Always remember that God, not man, is your source for everything. When you get turned down for the sale, or by the bank, or have a flat tire, or find yourself in a chemo ward, it’s never by accident when you’re living your life for God’s purpose. God never says “oops!” He’s up to something! People don’t expect you to love on them when things go south for you.

Filling the Void

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 12:00:22 -0000

Host Barry Meguiar shares his thoughts on how removing God from our society has effectively invited chaos into our world. Satan is having a field day and, as Christians, we are allowing it. As Satan continues to blind the minds of the masses, we must take every opportunity to lead everyone, every day, closer to Jesus.

When we, as a nation, began to move away from God, we moved toward conflict, anger, and division. Our problems are not racial or political, but spiritual. Where God created a void in us that only He can fill, we’ve been trying to fill it with everything but Him. The only cure is to fill that void with Jesus so that people will begin to see evil as evil and we’ll be a Christian nation once again.

Two Commandments

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 12:00:01 -0000

When God was asked, “Which of the commandments is the greatest?” He answered that loving God was the first and greatest commandment, but there’s a second one of equal importance which is to love your neighbor as yourself. When you fulfill these two commandments, you will have fulfilled them all. Everything you do leads people closer or further away from God, that’s why loving God and loving your neighbor is so important.

The Temporariness of Life

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 11:00:08 -0000

Host Barry Meguiar tells the story of how he helped lead his friend, Dave, to the Lord after learning of his Stage 4 cancer diagnosis. He shares this impactful example of why we must always heed the call to bring others closer to God, every moment of every day.

Answering the call to lead someone to Christ is always urgent. We never know when our time on Earth will be up, and we should always be working to help others receive the Lord. After leading an altar call at one friend’s funeral, Barry shares how another friend found his way to Jesus at just the right time.

Always Be Listening

Thu, 17 Oct 2024 10:00:37 -0000

If you're intentionally sharing your faith, you're constantly looking for opportunities to inject God into the conversation, without raising eyebrows. You will always get a "gift" of a topic that you can turn into a God conversation, just listen, and the Lord always provides an opportunity!

Sometimes when we attempt to share God’s word, we don’t think we’re being heard. But as the Parable of the Sower says, some seeds fall on stony ground and others fall on fertile soil. While it may not bring immediate results, we must diligently sow the seeds to bring more people, every day, closer to God.

Removing the Barriers

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 08:00:00 -0000

Barry, Steve, and Bill discuss why people are afraid to share their faith and how to measure our spiritual pulse. Are we feeling less than qualified to share God’s Word? Are we embarrassed to witness? Zeal isn’t just for new Christians! He’s given us the authority to share the Gospel to bring people closer, every day to Jesus.

The Joy of the Lord

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 08:00:00 -0000

By sharing our faith, we bring joy to God! In that joy, we gain our strength. We’re called to “love on” people until they ask us why we are doing it. We do this by praying for them, sharing our faith, and taking every opportunity to bring them, every day, closer to God.

As sharers of faith, everything we say and do can either move people closer to or further away from God. Steve Amerson share how we must take every opportunity to try and “demystify” praying for others and sharing our faith.

Hungry for the Gospel

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0000

People are hungry for the Gospel and the hope it brings. No matter where he is performing, Steve Amerson always asks God the question, “Is there someone here that I’m supposed to say something to?” Sometimes the answer is yes, but other times the Lord tells him that he needs to pray for them instead. He never misses a divine appointment to share God’s word.

What Life is All About

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0000

When asked what he does for a living, Bill Wiese, Author of 23 Minutes in Hell, responds simply, “I teach the Bible.” Sharing the Gospel with others is a lot like how fishermen use chum. We must give people the opportunity to ask the questions they want answered about God and live our lives to seek and save the lost.

Author and speaker, Bill Wiese shares examples of times when he felt called to share the Gospel. Sometimes people had questions, but other times the audience was less receptive...at first. We can’t beat people into Heaven, but we should always be willing to share what we can to help them understand how to get there.

Are You Having Fun?

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0000

One way we show God that we love Him is by talking about Him. It’s one of the first things we do when we become Christians. We tell people how great God is and how much He has done for us. We talk about the things we’re excited about. When that excitement wears off, will the version of us that people see move them closer to Jesus or farther away from Him?

As it says in 1 Peter 3, we should always be ready to give a clear presentation of the Gospel. It should always be obvious to others that we love God. It’s our job to be a good reflection of Jesus to everyone we meet.

Whom Shall You Serve?

Tue, 02 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0000

It’s our responsibility to know the truth of God’s word. God has expectations for us, and He’s given us the Bible for our guide. We have been tasked with the single purpose of living our lives for Jesus. And when we stand before God, He will hold us accountable.

Times have changed. Friendships and loyalties are no longer reliable guides. And it’s not just about listening to everything that comes from the pulpit anymore. No one else will be responsible for our choices. So, we need to decide as it says in Joshua 25. Will we follow what’s popular or will we do what God has called us to do?

When the trumpet sounds…

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 08:00:00 -0000

With nearly 80% of the unchurched believing we are in the last days we have to ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to share the Gospel. The world is coming unglued and still, only about 1% of Christians are sharing their faith. What can we do to ensure that more people find their way to Heaven when the trumpet sounds? We need to use the time we have left to tell our unsaved friends about the love of Jesus and do all we can to bring everybody, every day closer to Jesus.

Are you a Christian?

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 08:00:00 -0000

Only 6% of Americans hold a biblical worldview. If that number is accurate, we have to ask ourselves, “Is it possible to be a Christian without a biblical worldview?” Isn’t belief enough? Even the demons in hell believe in God. It should be obvious to those around you that you are a Christian, and if it isn’t, you need to ask yourself why.

Since the pandemic, many people who consider themselves to be Christians are living for the world or living in fear. When we have faith in God and we’re living for Him, there is no room for that kind of fear. So, how do we know if we’re doing the will of the Father?

Happiness and Joy

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 22:00:00 -0000

No matter what happens, you can’t lose real joy. And there is a difference between happiness and joy. You can be happy or unhappy, but still have joy in your life, even after suffering numerous trials. Barry shares how he’s dealt with setbacks and kept his faith intact.

When we live our lives with the purpose of helping more people get into Heaven, we automatically have joy. As God has called us to save the lost, when we are fulfilling our purpose and seeking and saving the lost, He assures us in John 15:11 that our joy will be full.

God’s Call Is Not Just for Pastors

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 08:00:00 -0000

We’ve all been called to preach the Gospel to the lost in this world — not just pastors or theologians. It’s a privilege and an honor God has given to those who believe, and we shouldn’t take it lightly! Join Barry as he talks with author and speaker Bill Wiese — whose 23 Minutes in Hell memoir has sold over 2 million copies to date — about the opportunities each of us has every day to “follow the nudge” of the Holy Spirit and share with others about Jesus.

The Faith Mandate

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Proverbs 3:5 says that we should trust in the Lord with all our hearts and that we should not lean on our own understanding. Yet, 80 percent of Christians are living in fear. They are forgetting to place their faith in God and not in what they are seeing in the world around them. To live with joy, you need love the Lord with all your heart and to love yourself. When you do that, you will destroy fear effortlessly and you’ll be able to reach everybody every day to move them closer to Jesus!

Evangelism is not just for pastors. John 4:37 says, “…In this matter of kingdom harvest, everyone has a job to do.” Whether you’re in line at the grocery store or waiting at an appointment, in every conversation you have, you become the physical manifestation of God. To engage in the sacrament of evangelism, you must take every opportunity to share the love of Christ —YOU are His messenger!

Flexing Your Spiritual Muscles

Tue, 08 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000

God wants us to share our faith at every opportunity. But some of us aren’t having any fun. We’re going through each day letting ourselves be overcome by worry and not enjoying the gifts that God has given us. When we live this way, we are in danger of having spiritual atrophy.

In James 1:22, we’re instructed to be “doers of the Word and not merely hearers..." If we’re not putting our faith into practice, we’re missing opportunities to strengthen our own faith--and to demonstrate to everybody, every day how God’s love works in our lives. What God has put in us is still in us. But we aren’t getting the full benefit of the blessings He gives.

Where is Your Pulpit?

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Often, we go through our lives just doing the things we need to do to survive. We sometimes fail to recognize opportunities to minister that are right under our noses. At some point, we may ask God if He means for us to stop what we are doing so that we can better serve Him. His answer may surprise us as we are likely already right where He needs us to be.

Romans 8:28 tells us that, “…in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him…” and He proves this time after time. We must never be afraid to share His word and share our faith with everybody, every day to help bring them closer to Jesus. Be encouraged to do that in this episode.

Where are the Watchmen?

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Has the message gotten lost? Somewhere between the watchmen on the wall in the book of Ezekiel and last Sunday’s sermon, we’ve left out the message of salvation that is supposed to warn the lost about the enemy. As Christians, we need to be sharing our faith and one day, God will undoubtedly hold us accountable. If the church and the pastor aren’t equipping the church for ministry, what are they doing?

An estimated 80% of all Christians are living in fear today, and this is obviously not how He wants us to live. Everything we say and everything we do influences those around us. You can’t force Christianity, but will you share your testimony and draw people closer to God? Or will your reluctance to share drive them further away? If we don’t tell them, who will?

When God is Up to Something

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0000

There are days when it seems like nothing goes according to plan. But we must realize that there is always a reason behind these momentary snags and delays—there are no coincidences. Barry discusses how to connect the dots and see the opportunities in our disappointments. When things don’t work out the way we expected, God sends opportunities to share our faith with others. Each day, we’re presented with so many ways to make a difference. Will you heed the call when it comes?

The Importance of Discernment

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Living biblically in today’s world is not easy. COVID-19 and cancel culture are just two examples of how God’s people are facing more choices — to obey God and His Word or to compromise with the culture. Be challenged by Barry’s discussion with Pastor Jack Hibbs as they talk about what it means to be discerning as a believer. Now more than ever, we must change our world around us by living for God and by moving everyone every day closer to Jesus!

God Orchestrates and Recruits

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 17:00:00 -0000

Jesus didn’t say, “Go and pray.” He didn’t say, “Go and read your Bible.” No . . . Jesus said, “Go and tell.” It’s not hard to do when you’re cultivating a deep relationship with Him. God not only orchestrates our lives, He recruits those He wants us to share our faith with. Learn more from Barry and his special guest Pastor Jack Hibbs about telling others about Jesus without fear. Because when you have faith, you just naturally want to share it!

There's No Need to Offend Anyone

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0000

The persecution of Christians right now is out of control. More Christians were martyred for their faith this last year than ever before in the history of the world. But people still want to know God loves them. He is calling us to share our faith, and when we do the world will know us by our love. That’s why we can’t stop taking advantage of every opportunity to move everyone every day closer to Jesus.

Intimacy with God

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 18:00:00 -0000

It’s incredible to think that you can have intimacy with God. He made us in His own image, He loves us, and He wants us to spend eternity with Him. Experiencing God’s love causes us to live for His purpose. And when you live for His purpose, you can’t wait to tell others about Him . . . because He is your first love!

God Hates Religion

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Religion is man’s attempt to earn God’s favor. But that’s absurd, because it’s just not possible. It doesn’t matter what you do — going to church 365 days a year, reading your Bible every day, or even praying every day won’t put you at the front of the line. They’re all good things, but they won’t change your heart. Only God can save you, and He is checking your heart. Be encouraged to check yours, too, as you stop being religious and receive God’s gift of eternal life.

You Can Be Full of Joy Every Day

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0000

A powerful message to Christians living in fear is that sharing your faith ignites your joy. There’s nothing more thrilling than knowing God just orchestrated a conversation and gave you the words to say, that changed a life in front of you.

Share Your Faith Without Fear

Tue, 23 May 2023 18:00:00 -0000

Jesus said, they will know that you’re His disciple by your love, not by your speaking skills or your ability to recite a script.

It’s God’s Timing

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 08:00:00 -0000

One of the great misconceptions of faith sharing is the expectation that everyone comes to the Lord with one conversation. That’s the polar opposite of reality – and the Parable of the Sower whose seeds often land on hard ground. Without knowing where people are on their spiritual journey, your job is to simply move everyone, every day, closer to Jesus.

Do It God’s Way

Wed, 07 Dec 2022 18:00:00 -0000

Life is so much easier when you do it God’s way! It’s called faith! Without faith, it’s impossible to please God because without faith you worry and when you worry - you’re telling God, “I don’t trust you." In stark contrast, trusting God obliterates worry and your faith allows God to take you above and beyond anything you could ever ask for or imagine. But how do you get there?

People Don’t Get Mad When You Say This

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 08:00:00 -0000

No matter where people are in their lives or what their struggles are, no one gets mad at you for telling them God loves them! They may not agree, and some may even argue, but never out of anger. It’s more bewilderment! After all they’ve done in their lives to upset God, it’s all but impossible for them to believe God loves them. And you get to tell them!

We’re reaping the consequences of turning our backs on God and becoming a post-Christian nation. The only hope for America is turning our hearts back to God! The farther away we are from Him, the more we’ll have chaos in our world. But when we get back to God — and lead others to the Lord — we can ignite revival in our nation. Listen in and be encouraged to share your faith!

A Testimony of God’s Faithfulness

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 08:00:00 -0000

Living our lives for God’s purpose includes sharing our faith — and that can happen anywhere! Be inspired by Barry’s story that started with asking his waitress at Cracker Barrel if he could pray for her — and ended up with Barry getting connected to another father who had lost his daughter. One polishes cars, and the other hauls cattle. But in Christ, they are the same. You almost won’t believe this testimony of God’s faithfulness as you hear from Barry and his new friend Dan!

Evangelism Is Not a Program

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 07:00:00 -0000

Most Evangelism programs are unnecessary! You don't have to be trained how to love on people and you don't have to be trained on how to love people into Heaven. Jesus said, “They'll know you're my disciple by your love,” not by your training program or the recitation of a script.

Your Faith-Sharing Responsibility

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 19:00:00 -0000

With 10% of the U.S. population being born-again believers, we can saturate America with the Word of God if each one of us shares our faith with just 9 unbelievers. Even better, over 80% of the unchurched already have at least one Christian in their life that they trust. This is doable! Listen and hear how God will give you the words to speak so you can make the most of every opportunity — and lead people to Him!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How many people you are responsible for leading to the Lord
What percentage of Christians have to get the attention of the unchurched
How many days it would take to ignite revival in America
The difference you can make when you walk into a place

You’re a Witness

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 18:00:00 -0000

No matter where you are in your life, if you're a Christian, you can't escape the fact that everything you say and do is moving everyone watching you closer or further away from God. Every Christian is a witness. The question is whether you're a witness for the defense or the prosecution of the Gospel.

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 18:00:00 -0000

First Love Christians

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 17:00:00 -0000

We talk mostly about the things we love most and are most excited about. That’s why it’s so easy to identify Christians whose ‘First Love’ is God and how we can judge our own walk with God by the things we talk about. But it’s easy to make other things in our lives our gods — even good things like relationships or our careers. It’s a constant battle to keep God first in our hearts. But here’s the good news: if you’ve moved away from God, you can always return and live for Him in everything that you say and do! Listen and learn from Barry's experience.
