Listen to this month's episode of the Mature & Multiply Podcast to hear Samson's amazing story of deliverance and church planting.
He says that evangelism is like marketing, and you can only tell people about Jesus if He is the most important, precious person to you. Are you informed of Jesus? Are you in love with Jesus? This day and age needs the Church more than any time before, so don't give up!
In this episode, we interview Anthony Conte, a young man who is impacting his community for the gospel. Here are some highlights from our conversation:
- Get alone with God and don't be afraid of silence. Our engagement with the communities around us isn't going to be of much benefit if we haven't been with the Lord yet.
- True revelation of the Father's love and grace should compel us to act, like rivers of living water flowing from within us (John 7:38 NIV).
- The most selfish thing we could do is to say we believe the gospel and not share it with others.
We hope you are encouraged and challenged by this episode of the Mature & Multiply Podcast.
