This week, we will listen to a clip from Pastor Matt's sermon. He wonderfully tells the story of the gospel. Aside from inspiring us, it should encourage us to develop our own sense of how we can tell the story, and pray for opportunities to share that story with our friends and family, neighbors, and coworkers.
When I arrived at a job in DC last week and my customer was cussing and smoking from the start, I mistakenly thought he was a closed door to evangelism. Boy was I wrong! I'm excited to share this story of how God included me in 40 years of sowing and reaping in another person's life. Hopefully it will encourage us all to take the leap and start gospel conversations in our every day lives too.
This is the second week talking with two young ladies from Living Hope who are answering the call of the great commission to go into all the world. It's fascinating. When did they first feel Gods call? How are they preparing to go? How does their family feel about it? Why are they going? Have they thought about the potential to face danger and suffering? If so, why is it all worth the risk to them? Tune in, and be inspired to be a sender or even a goer yourself.

This week I hope to encourage you to join us on September 20, 2025 to help out at New Freedom Fest. Listen as Living Hope members share testimony of what it was like to serve previously.
This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Cody Steele. Cody is a skilled electrician with a heart for sharing Jesus through his work. I was inspired by his intentional approach—not only striving for excellence in his trade but also looking for meaningful opportunities to share his faith with the people he serves. It’s part 2 of a powerful conversation you won’t want to miss!

This week, we continue our deep dive into practical skills for evangelism. In Part 2 of the series, we’re focusing on the importance of paying attention—to people, to opportunities, and to the relationships that can open doors for sharing the gospel.
What does it look like to be present and aware in everyday moments? How can we become more intentional about noticing the needs around us and responding in love? This week, we’ll explore simple, practical ways to build meaningful connections with friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and classmates—steps that can naturally lead to conversations about faith.
As always, I’d love to hear from you. How are you being intentional about reaching out and sharing Christ in your day-to-day life?
After taking some time off, I felt it was important to return to the basics. As Christians, we all recognize the importance of evangelism—but how can we grow in it practically? Over the course of 84 episodes, I’ve learned so much, and now I want to share what I’ve discovered.
This new series will break down practical skills for each of the 8 steps in the SteppingStones approach to evangelism. In today’s episode, we’re starting with the first two: Gospel Joy and Gospel Community. How can we actively grow in sharing our faith, starting right where we are?
Tune in—and I’d love to hear your feedback and ideas as we go on this journey together.
After a summer break, we're back to interview the man the myth the legend, my dad, John Repp. In many ways he's my biggest influence in evangelism. I really enjoyed learning more about his story and why his passion has been knowing and sharing Jesus for almost 60 years!! Hope you enjoy it too!
This week we interview Kyle Taylor. Kyle and his wife, Ashley, have two kids and have been attending Living Hope for three years. We learn a little about Kyle's life and then hear his Christian testimony. It's great to hear how God called him and is transforming his life.

Powerful testimonies are built on three key elements:
When combined, these elements create a testimony the Holy Spirit can use to touch the hearts of your unsaved family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and classmates. Below, I’ll share a bit more about each element, followed by an example from a sermon I preached last summer. I hope it encourages you to take the step and share your story!

Nobody wants to hear a dull, mechanical retelling of your life. However, when you share from the heart—expressing the struggles you’ve faced and how God has transformed you—it becomes truly powerful! This week, we’ll explore how to reflect on the many ways God has shaped your life and, through prayer, discover how to share those transformative stories with others.

In home on a regular leather repair job, having casual conversation with my customer. Until, I asked about her kids and she started to tear up. I realized God had me here for more than just work!
You know when a book just really speaks to you? That's what happened to me with this one: Ignite your Life by Barry McGuiar. In this podcast, I'm sharing some of the quotes that resonated most with me and why I found so much inspiration and encouragement within its pages. I'm excited to share it with you, and I think you'll love it too.
This week I take a few minutes to give my thoughts on the most recent Living Hope Blog, "How to talk to a Nonbeliever" , by Tim Dance. I love it! It's full of practical insight, powerful scripture and motivation for you and me to take the next steps, and have a gospel conversation with a friend, family member, neighbor, co-worker or classmate. Go read it after listening to my review.
This the last week in a 5 week discussion with a small group of ladies who have been meeting for over 8 years! It was a blast learning about their lives and the way they intentionally bring the gospel into their relationships, work and friendships. Enjoy!
