Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

When it comes to evangelism, Barry McGuire doesn’t mince words. He says, “I say, all of us are witnesses. Some of us are witnesses for the prosecution.” That should stop us in our tracks. If we know the hope of the Gospel, of what Jesus has done for us, but keep silent, we’re being witnesses for the wrong side. And in d...

When Troy Miller, CEO of the National Religious Broadcaster, talks about media, he doesn’t just talk about technology — he talks about mission. He says, “And look at where we're at today, today, we can instantly communicate to anybody around the globe, um, right now from where we're sitting, Uh, we could be talking to a...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Troy Miller, CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters, has seen firsthand how God can use media to reach the world. He says, “We make plans, but God does order our steps. I never thought that this kid from Nebraska Farm Boy techie would end up in Christian broadcasting, but I really feel like that’s what God trained m...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Let's suppose I stood before a judge with fifty thousand parking tickets; and in my opportunity to speak, I asked the judge, "your Honor, would you please let me go? I promise I’ll be a perfect driver from now on." Do you think that judge should declare me free? If he or she did, they couldn’t be considered a just judge...

Have you ever put your hope in another person? Well, if that person is trustworthy, it’s fine! But here's the problem with placing your hope in other people: sometimes, they let you down. But I am here to tell you that placing your hope in Jesus will never result in you being let down. Lamentations 3 says this: "Therefo...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

What are you completely certain about? You can be sure the sun will rise to the east and set to the west. You can be sure that one plus one will always equal two. And you can be absolutely certain that you cannot get into Heaven because of the good things you've done. Now, before you write that off as a calloused statem...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Do you ever wonder what happens after death? Does it worry you? Don told us on What's My Story Dot Org that he used to be pretty scared of dying. As a teenager, his best friend died suddenly in a car accident and at his funeral, he became overwhelmed with fear. Don didn't know where he would spend eternity. That has all...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Have you ever thought, "that may be true for them, but that's not my truth"? But if something is actually true...then, it is in fact...true! Jesus Christ said, "You will know the truth and the truth will make you free."  In fact, He declared that there is truth and not a relativistic truth.  He didn’t say you will know ...

Just like adults, children need the hope of the Gospel. When they come to faith in Jesus, it changes everything for them. Jesus told His disciples in Luke eighteen, "Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, many ch...

In a rural village in Peru, a church decided to start to prioritize discipling the children in their church. They decided to teach them in all the ways to grow—from Bible reading to knowing the key points of the Gospel and how to share their faith. And these third through fifth graders boldly went back to their village ...

Torosso is a humble village with a large population of children in Africa. The "little g" god of that village is named “kilè.” The pastor, who’s the head of all of the churches in this area, said, “People are looking for the good God, but they don’t know how or where [to find Him]. So they’re living in spiritual darknes...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Did you know that children are thirsty for the same Living Water that Jesus offers to all? They experience the same broken world that we as adults do—and they need the hope and love found only in Jesus. By The Hand, a non-profit that operates in Chicago, believes this whole-heartedly—so much so that they hold a Hope For...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Have you ever thought about how many people one child interacts with throughout the course of his or her life? Children have their whole lives ahead of them. And everywhere they go, they meet people. So, just think, when a child is equipped to share their faith, the Gospel goes everywhere they go. And, have you noticed ...

It's time to get creative! The truth is, as a body of Christ, we all bring different skills and passions. And so do the younger people in the church! And we can meet them in the middle and use their passions as a way to disciple them. In Romania, every summer they hold a national camp for a week where they focus on disc...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Christianity has always been just one generation from extinction. I mean — think about it. All it takes is for one generation to drop the ball for the next generation to miss the opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. They cannot pass along what they do not have. And it can happen in just one generation. In ...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

The focus of Jesus’ Great Commission is not in making converts, but rather in making disciples.  This was the mark of His ministry on earth, and this is the mark of the mentors we need in the Church today. So, please don't hear me wrong. It is absolutely vital that we share our faith and that everyone gets an opportunit...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Mark Dever says, "The Christian life is the discipled life and the discipling life.” We need both to grow a healthy, full walk with Christ. So let's take our time to study the Word, pray without ceasing, fellowship with other Christians, worship our amazing, Living God, and share our faith with others. And even better i...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Do you know a young person who wants to change the world? Well today, it seems that young people have an endless fountain of passion for impacting the world. And that’s great! But what if we could direct that passion toward transforming the world with the Good News of the Gospel? In the book of Acts, we read about Paul ...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

You know, sometimes we hesitate to share our faith—worried people won’t be open or interested. But here’s what we are seeing around the world—more than 60% of the people that we ask are open to having a spiritual conversation. And Samuel and his team recently saw this in Romania. They visited two churches to train belie...
