In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom interviews Dr Brendan Roach, a pastor, leadership coach, and the author of the newly released book, It’s My Call. For many believers, the idea of “calling” has become tangled up with platform, position, or pulpit ministry. But Brendan gently unpacks a biblical and practical understanding of calling that applies to every follower of Jesus, including those whose most impactful gospel conversations might take place in a café, workplace, school yard, or around the dining table. This conversation is deeply encouraging for anyone who senses God nudging them toward people, places, or communities in everyday life. Brendan’s book, It’s My Call, invites believers to discover where God is already producing fruit in their lives and to lean confidently into that. Instead of striving, comparing, or waiting for a grand, dramatic sign, Brendan helps us see how calling often unfolds through small, faithful steps. If you’ve ever wondered, “Where do I fit?” or “How do I know who I’m called to reach?”, this interview will bring real clarity, comfort, and courage. Brendan Roach has lived this message and now he offers it to equip the church to move with purpose. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Don't look for the one glorious Burning Bush moment. Flow in the areas that we like and enjoy. Look for genuine fruit in our efforts. Positive outcomes can be produced repeatedly. Identifying genuine outcomes is crucial for growth.

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom speaks with chaplain, speaker, and author Sam Wegner about his deeply personal new book, The Weight of the Wait. Sam shares honestly about the long and painful journey of walking with his wife through her ongoing battle with cancer, and how the extended waiting has shaped his faith in ways he never expected. Rather than offering easy answers, Sam reflects on what it truly means to trust God when life is uncertain, prayers seem unanswered, and the future feels heavy. His story highlights that waiting is not passive. It is a place where God does deep, refining work in the heart. Together, Tina and Sam explore how seasons of delay and disappointment can become powerful opportunities to show the love of Jesus to others. Sam describes how being open about his struggles has allowed meaningful faith conversations to happen naturally, particularly with those who are searching for hope in the midst of hardship. The Weight of the Wait encourages believers to stay rooted in Scripture, connected to community, and honest with God about their pain.

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom chats with 21-year-old Theo from Brisbane, Australia. Theo is the founder of Theos Ministry, an online movement dedicated to reaching gamers for Christ. What started as a simple idea while recovering from surgery has now become a thriving global community where young adults gather to play, chat, and explore the Bible together.

His story reveals how God can turn even the most unexpected spaces, like a gaming stream, into places of ministry and transformation.

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom interviews Dr Tania Harris, founding director of God Conversations, for a fascinating and hope-filled discussion on the question, “How Is God Speaking to Those Who Don’t Know Him?” Together, they explore how the Holy Spirit is already at work beyond the walls of the Church and among people who might describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” Drawing from real-life stories, including powerful encounters where people have experienced dreams and visions of Jesus, Tania and Tina unpack how God continues to reveal Himself to seekers in unexpected ways, from the Middle East to modern-day Australia. This conversation will change how you think about evangelism. Rather than seeing it as bringing God to others, Tania invites listeners to consider that God is already speaking. Our role is to recognise where He’s at work and join in. The episode unpacks what this means for everyday believers: how to discern spiritual openness, how to listen with humility, and how to share faith naturally and sensitively. Whether you’re part of a local church, leading a small group, or simply walking alongside friends who don’t yet believe, this episode offers fresh insight into what it truly means to partner with the Spirit in helping others encounter Jesus. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: God is already speaking to those who are seeking Him. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in evangelism. Recognizing spiritual seekers can change our approach to outreach. People often reject religion but are open to spirituality. Evangelism should be a partnership with the Holy Spirit. Openness and humility are key to hearing God's voice. We should look for opportunities to engage in spiritual conversations. The church's role is to walk alongside seekers, not coerce them. Understanding the cultural context is vital for effective evangelism. Sharing personal experiences can create meaningful connections.

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom explores the question: Why are so many Australians turning away from Christianity and what can we do about it? Drawing from key national research by McCrindle, NCLS and the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Tina highlights the cultural shifts shaping the nation’s spiritual landscape. From perceptions of hypocrisy to distrust in institutions, the Church’s stance on sexuality, and the rise of “spiritual but not religious” thinking, she outlines six crucial insights to help believers understand what’s really going on. More than statistics, this conversation offers practical ways to respond with empathy, authenticity, and integrity. Tina challenges listeners to rebuild trust through everyday consistency, to engage people relationally rather than institutionally, and to tell better stories about what God is doing in real lives. Whether you lead a church or simply want to represent Jesus more authentically in your world, this episode provides clarity, challenge and hope for evangelism in today’s Australia. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Many Australians are turning away from Christianity due to the Church's stance on sexuality. The perception of hypocrisy among Christians damages trust in the Church. Authenticity and vulnerability are crucial for rebuilding trust. Young Australians seek spirituality but resist traditional institutions. Every friendship a Christian builds is a chance for evangelism. The media shapes public opinion about Christianity negatively. Churches need to focus on relational discipleship and community service. Personal experiences of faith are more impactful than church programs.

Adele shares how God called her to redeem the symbol of the cross in fashion after seeing it misused in mainstream brands. What began as a simple act of obedience during the COVID season has now grown into a thriving Christian clothing label that sparks conversations about Jesus wherever it goes. Adele reveals the stories of believers who’ve worn her designs and found that the messages, like “Jesus Saves” or “Soul Submitted”, open doors for meaningful dialogue and personal reflection. She discusses the balance between creativity, excellence, and witness, and how even the smallest acts, like putting on a faith-inspired t-shirt, can declare Christ to the world. This episode will encourage you to see everyday life as an opportunity for evangelism and to courageously live out your faith in visible, authentic ways. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Adele created Soul Submitted Designs because God asked her to. The brand aims to accurately represent the message of the cross.

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom sits down with Lachlan Shipard to hear his remarkable journey from a self-focused lifestyle of drugs, alcohol, and quick fixes to discovering lasting hope in Jesus. Lachlan openly shares the emptiness he faced even after making big life changes, and the unexpected moment when he sensed God calling him to reach out. His honesty and vulnerability give us a fresh perspective on how God draws people to Himself in surprising ways. Tina and Lachlan explore what it means to share your faith in everyday life, not through pressure or perfection, but by living authentically and pointing others to Christ. This conversation highlights the heart of evangelism and apologetics—answering real questions, walking patiently with people, and allowing your own story to testify to the goodness of God. Whether you’re new to sharing your faith or looking for encouragement to keep going, this episode will inspire you to step out with courage and compassion. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Lachlan's life was filled with partying and substance abuse before finding faith. Lachlan moved to different locations seeking change, but continued his old habits. A breakdown can lead to a moment of clarity. Understanding Jesus became clearer through personal study and community support. Sharing personal stories is vital in evangelism. Actions often speak louder than words in demonstrating faith.

Lachlan shared that before Christ, he tried to fill the void in his life with parties, drugs, money, and relationships. What are some common “quick fixes” people turn to today instead of God? Read: John 4:13-14  “Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 2. Lachlan described a turning point when he realised he had to stop blaming others and take responsibility for his life. How does taking ownership of our own sin open the door for God’s grace?Read: James 1:14–15  “but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”   3. Lachlan said he became “miserably happy”, he cleaned up his life but still felt empty until he encountered Jesus. Why do you think self-improvement alone cannot replace salvation?Read: Ephesians 2:8–9  “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.”   4. Lachlan’s conversion began with a thought: “Reach out to Me.” How has God drawn you (or people you know) to Himself, sometimes unexpectedly?Read: John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.”   5. When Lachlan first became a Christian, he zealously gave out Bibles and told everyone about Jesus. Have you

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom speaks with Greg Stier, founder of Dare to Share Ministries, about how youth ministries can grow by multiplying gospel conversations. Greg shares his remarkable journey of faith, from growing up in a tough family to discovering the power of the gospel as a teenager, and how that experience fuels his passion to mobilise young people around the world. With decades of experience equipping leaders, Greg explains why evangelism must be central to discipleship and why teens are uniquely positioned to influence their peers for Christ. Together, Tina and Greg explore how to move from a programme-driven youth ministry to one that is truly mission-driven. They discuss the importance of gospel urgency, fluency, and strategy, as well as practical tools like the “Ask, Admire, Admit” approach to sharing faith in everyday conversations. Listeners will be inspired by the vision of gospel-advancing ministries that multiply disciples and see young people grow spiritually as they boldly live and share the good news of Jesus. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Greg Steer emphasises the importance of mobilising teens to share the gospel. The average teen in a gospel advancing group has 50 gospel conversations per year. Youth leaders must model evangelism for their students. Relational evangelism is key to effective youth ministry. Fear of rejection is a significant barrier for teens in sharing their faith. Awkwardness in conversations can lead to meaningful connections.

Read:  “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1).   2. Jesus mobilised His mostly teenage disciples to share the gospel (Matthew 4:19; Luke 9–10).

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom unpacks a powerful idea the Lord has placed on her heart: legacy evangelism. Too often we think of legacy in terms of money, property, or achievements, but Tina explains that true legacy is about what we leave in people, not just for people. Drawing from Scripture and real-life examples, she reminds us that the way we model evangelism in our everyday lives can inspire others to do the same. Our example becomes our legacy, and whether as individuals or as churches, the seeds we sow today, seen or unseen, can grow into fruit that impacts generations to come. Tina shares inspiring stories, from the ripple effect of Edward Kimball’s quiet witness that ultimately influenced Billy Graham, to the generational faith passed from Lois to Eunice to Timothy in the Bible. She highlights how legacy evangelism isn’t just for the well-known or the famous but is built through ordinary faithfulness, acts of kindness, everyday prayers, and sharing our personal stories. This episode challenges us to ask: what legacy of evangelism are we leaving behind? Will people remember us as those who kept the good news to ourselves, or as those who sowed generously into others’ lives? Be encouraged to let legacy become your motivation for sharing Jesus and shaping a future that outlives you.   In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Legacy is what you leave behind in people, not just for them. Our example becomes our legacy in evangelism. No act of witness is ever wasted; seeds bear fruit later. Faith can be passed down through generations. Ordinary acts of kindness can lead to extraordinary impacts. The life of Jesus is the greatest legacy we can follow. We must preach the good news through words and actions. Churches should lean into the concept of legacy in outreach. Identifying individuals to sow into can create lasting change. The full impact of our legacy may only be seen in eternity.

In this episode, Tina Waldrom has a heartfelt conversation with Rabbi Lawrence Hirsch about the importance of bringing the Gospel to the Jewish Community. Rabbi Lawrence opens up about his personal journey to faith, giving listeners a glimpse into the unique challenges that Jewish people face when considering Jesus as the Messiah. He also takes time to share the historical background of Jewish-Christian relations, helping Christians better understand the sensitivities that still exist today. His story highlights both the struggles and the hope that come with following Christ, while holding on to the rich heritage of Jewish identity. The discussion goes deeper into what evangelism looks like in this context, stressing the need for Christians to approach Jewish people with gentleness, humility, and respect. Rabbi Lawrence explains that sharing the gospel isn’t about stripping away Jewishness, but rather about showing how faith in Jesus fulfills the promises of Scripture. For churches and believers today, this episode is a valuable reminder that evangelism requires cultural awareness and genuine love, especially when reaching out to communities with such deep spiritual and historical roots.   In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Lawrence Hirsch’s journey from a Jewish upbringing to faith in Jesus. The importance of recognising Jesus' Jewish identity in evangelism. Christianity has deep Jewish roots that should be acknowledged. Many Jewish people feel betrayed when someone converts to Christianity. Outreach to the Jewish community should emphasise continuity, not conversion. Historical tensions between Christians and Jews impact current relationships. Love and support for Jewish people are crucial in today's climate. The recent events in Israel have heightened anti-Semitism globally. Christians can play a role in combating anti-Semitism through friendship. In times of hardship, people are more open to the Gospel message.

In this episode, Tina Waldrom continues her conversation with Pastor Rob Martin. This time, the focus turns to big questions secular people ask and how believers can engage. The pandemic for one exposed deep issues within society. Rob reflects on the nature of suffering and how people have wrestled with feelings of loss, fear, and uncertainty during this time. He explains that the Christian faith doesn’t shy away from suffering but instead provides a framework of hope and meaning, pointing to the presence of Christ in the middle of life’s hardest moments. Personal stories are also shared, reminding listeners that being open about our struggles can build bridges of understanding and compassion. The episode also highlights how these themes connect with evangelism and the heart behind the Ideas Convention. Rob Martin explains that sharing our pain alongside the hope we’ve found in Christ helps others see that the gospel is not just theory but real good news for everyday life. Evangelism, he suggests, is less about having neat answers and more about walking with people in their questions, pointing them to Jesus as the ultimate source of comfort and transformation. Building on the themes of last week’s episode, which gave an overview of the Ideas Convention, this conversation equips Christians to engage culture authentically, demonstrating how the message of Christ speaks directly into the even bigger questions people are asking today.   In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Hope can be found even in difficult times like the pandemic. The pandemic has revealed underlying societal issues. Suffering can lead to deeper connections with God. The Christian message offers hope and meaning in suffering. Personal stories of suffering can resonate with others. God's presence provides comfort in anxious times. The good news of Jesus is transformative for individuals and society.

Are you actively "going" into your community, or waiting for people to come to you? Phil Smith referenced Luke 10 as the foundation for community engagement. Jesus sends His disciples into the towns.

The conversation is a practical and inspiring reminder that evangelism isn’t just about preaching; it’s about loving your neighbour and meeting real needs. Tina and her guests challenge listeners to take a fresh look at their church’s role in the community. Are we making space for connection? Are we listening and learning from the people around us?

Tina Waldrom brings together insights from three guests who are passionate about living out the gospel through love and action in this social justice and evangelism roundup. Hear from Kim Hammond, Jon Owen and Rachel Dunwell as they explore the differences between biblical justice and the broader idea of social justice, helping listeners understand how Scripture calls Christians to restore what’s broken with mercy and truth. The conversation highlights that evangelism isn’t just about preaching—it’s also about stepping into people’s lives with compassion, kindness, and a willingness to meet real, practical needs. This episode digs deep into what it looks like for the Church to be a place that not only shares the good news but also shows it through justice and advocacy.
