New World Evangelism Podcast

Send us a text

It’s been over six months since I last recorded a podcast. In that time, God has been working intensely in me. I’ve grown in Christ and experienced His grace in ways that are hard to put into words.

I’m starting again—with short, regular episodes focused on one powerful truth: how much God loves us and how that love should transform our lives.
If this resonates with you, please let me know. Your feedback will help me decide whether to keep going.

Thanks for listening. Find us on YouTube, Substack, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.

Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_00 (00:01):
Well, hello, this is Austin Gardner from World
Evangelism Podcast, and I havebeen absent without leave for
over six months now.
I kind of got discouragedthinking no one was listening,
and the interest in worldevangelism wasn't there like I
wanted it to be, and maybe Ididn't have an audience.

(00:25):
The Lord has been working majorthings in my life that have just
radically changed me.
And I think that worldevangelism, I'm going to retool
it a little bit, and I willexplain that as I go along.
But world evangelism is goodnews for the world.
That's what it means.
That's the idea behind worldevangelism, that we would take

(00:49):
the good news of Jesus Christ tothe world.
I fear that I have used way toomuch guilt and way too much
condemnation and pushing andmanipulating you to do what I
feel like the Lord would have usall to do, which is share the
good news of Jesus Christ.
And so I apologize for that.

(01:11):
The Lord's been growing me andmaturing me in ways I cannot
explain.
It has been a All of that, Icame to know the good news of

(01:48):
Jesus Christ better than I everhave before.
And so what I want to share withyou over the next little while
until I figure out whatever Godwould have me do is the good
news I have learned about Jesusand how good he is and how kind
he is and how God loves us.
Things I had not known before.

(02:09):
And let me just say this.
I do believe it fits in worldevangelism much better than even
what I did before.
Because when you get excitedabout the good news of how Jesus
loves you and how he loves theworld, you have something you're
far more willing to share withother people.
It's not about spreading ourchurch or our denomination, not

(02:29):
about spreading our cult.
It is about spreading how muchGod loves people.
It's not about Americanizingpeople, colonizing people, but
it's about how our God loves usand works in our lives.
And so I'm not sure now howoften I'll release episodes.

(02:51):
at least weekly.
And they'll all be brief becauseI know you're busy and I know
you're in a hurry and you canlisten to these on time and a
half or double time and getthrough with them.
But I want you to know thatit'll still be called World
Evangelism, at least for themeantime being.
And I will continue to work inthat.
And I just want you tounderstand that God loves you in

(03:14):
ways you never knew, in ways Inever knew, though in my head I
understood it, I didn'tunderstand it in my heart.
And we're going to delve intothat as we dive into Psalm 23.
So World Evangelism Podcast isback.
I hope you enjoy it.
I would love it if you would letme know if it's a blessing to
you to help.
Because if it's not, I don'twant to waste your time or mine.
I really want it to be somethingthat's a blessing.

(03:36):
So God bless you and thank youvery much.
