About the Host:
Karen is an everyday Christian woman who, along with her husband Renod, embarked on a life-changing adventure to inspire and empower believers to share the gospel.
Renod is Karen's husband and partner in their mission to shine the light of Jesus into dark and hopeless places.
Episode Summary:
In this episode, Karen shares the story of how God used three ordinary believers to challenge her faith and inspire her to share the gospel fearlessly. She recounts her experiences with Muhammad, a former Muslim who boldly shared the gospel despite persecution; Caroline, a refugee who fearlessly shared Jesus with a Muslim taxi driver; and Miriam, a single Christian woman living in a dangerous red zone city who poured into the lives of women suffering from the effects of war. Through these encounters, Karen learned the importance of fearing God more than man and the power of a bold and courageous faith. She encourages listeners to pray for a faith like theirs and to be willing to step out of their comfort zones to share the hope of Jesus with others.
Key Takeaways:
Crisis moments can lead to a reckoning and a deeper understanding of who God is and who we are in Him.
Muhammad's bold faith challenged Karen to consider who she feared more, God or man.
Caroline's fearless sharing of the gospel with a Muslim taxi driver inspired Karen to consider sharing her faith in her own community.
Miriam's unwavering faith and courage in a dangerous city showed Karen the power of a life centered around Jesus.
Praying for a bold faith like Muhammad, Caroline, and Miriam can transform our lives and empower us to share the gospel with others.
