Skip to the 13:11 mark to jump the banter and hit the main subject. Today the guys are talking about common fears and obstacles in evangelism, and how to deal with them. From fears of rejection and loss, to the obstacles of inexperience and not having non-Christian friends, Joe and Jimmy talk through ways to change our thinking and habits to be better evangelists.

Trusted with God’s Words II: Leave No Ground Unplowed
very Christian wants have the right words to deliver to their family, friends, children, coworkers, and fellow church members. We want to speak timely truths in love. But some things can hinder this and make our words weightless.
Last week Dr. John Snyder introduced us to our new series and this week he is joined by Teddy James, the guy who belongs behind the camera. They discuss the reality that if we want to be a people who are listened to by those we love, we must be a people who listen well. That means primarily two things:
First, we must be active listeners to God. Whether it is reading Scripture, participating in a sermon on Sunday morning, or having a spiritual conversation with others we must win the battle of actively listening, rather than being passive and lazy.
Second, we must do the hard work of plowing up our lives to make room for the truths of Scripture. How much of the sermon you heard on Sunday has found application in your life? How are you living on and applying what God showed you in your morning devotion? Do not leave truth unapplied in your life.
For reading and meditation:
Psalm 111:10
Matthew 25:14-30

Special Episode I: Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically
Many of you know Media Gratiae through our podcast network, but we do much more. We have also produced documentary films and multimedia Bible studies.
Every year we take a few weeks to present you with some of the teachings we have produced over the years. This week we want to highlight our first 12-week study, Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically.
This is session one: Beholding God: The Great Attraction. In this session, John is in Chicago, Illinois to introduce A. W. Tozer. If you have been through this study, we pray it is a reminder of the things God taught you through this 12 weeks. If you have never been through the study, may it whet your appetite for more.
If you would like, you can find more information about Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically at https://shop.mediagratiae.org/collections/all-products/products/behold-your-god-13-dvd-set?variant=6841429637
Because we are highlighting this study on The Whole Counsel, we are discounting the study at the link above 10% normal price. The sale will end when next week’s episode is published.
