Continuing the theme of “Evangelization for All,” our host Bill Wegner and co-host Brent Heiser discuss how we share the Gospel by doing. We are challenged by scripture to be not just hearers of the word but to be doers of the word! Our latest episode gives examples of living out the call of Jesus to embrace his teachings and to make them our way of life.
In this episode of “Returning to the Heart of Jesus,” we do just that - return to the very heart of our Savior for guidance on our call, to evangelize all the people we meet by living Jesus to all.
Please invite family, friends and enemies to view or listen to this episode!
God bless.
In this newest episode of our podcast, "Returning to the Heart of Jesus," our host Bill Wegner and co-host Brent Heiser explore the ways we can evangelize by simply "being there."
By using stories and anecdotes, Bill and Brent explain how simply showing up when people need us sends a clear and powerful message of "I’m here for you because I’m a follower of Jesus, and I see a need here that I may be able to help with!" This, of course, is not verbalized but still expressed just by being present!
We hope you enjoy this podcast and will share it with your family and friends.
