  EP 117: Stay after Souls (Lifestyle Evangelism) 14.09.2026 41min

  Welcome to Part 3 of my series on Christian Discipleship: We've already covered Stay in the Book and Stay on Your Knees. Today we'll address the last imperative: Stay after Souls. So let's discuss what that means and what evangelism should look like in the life of a born-again Christian. So today, I want to tackle that last imperative: “Stay after souls.” This has the idea of evangelism at its heart, but it really goes far beyond simply sharing the gospel. And that’s what I’d like to examine with you today.

  Thirty-eight years, eight months, one week, and six days. That's how long I've been married to my husband. You might think that after nearly four decades, we'd have this marriage thing down pat. That by now, the hard work would be behind us. That maybe we could just coast through the rest of our marriage with the wind on our faces, enjoying the view. But being married is like riding a bike. You can only coast for so long before losing your momentum and falling over. You've got to keep pedaling if you don't want to crash. One way I've kept peddling is by taking the challenge I'm sharing on the podcast this week. Maybe you'd like to join me? Listen in to here more about it.

  EP 106: 10 New Year Resolutions We All Should Make 31.12.2025 15min

  I love the fresh start January represents, so I normally kick it off with a list of New Year’s resolutions as long as my arm. Some of my goals are specific and easily quantifiable: Walk a mile a day. Read a book a week. Get 7 hours of sleep a night. That way, even if I only walk 5-6 miles a week, read 3 books a month, or occasionally stay up late, I’ll still be better off than if I didn’t try to do those things at all.  But some of my goals – the really challenging ones – take the form of more general reminders. Today I'm sharing ten such resolutions I think should be on everybody’s list. Show Notes VERSES CITED: Proverbs 16:9 - “A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.” Proverbs 19:21 - “Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.” Jeremiah 10:23 - “I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not his own; no one who walks directs his own steps.” James 4:13-15 - “...you ought to say, 'If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.'” Proverbs 31:16 (Amp) – “She considers a [new] field before she buys or accepts it [expanding prudently and not courting neglect of her present duties by assuming other duties]….” Luke 1:37  - “…with God nothing will be impossible.”  Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness....” Proverbs 15:13 – “A joyful heart makes a cheerful face, But when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken.” Proverbs 17:22 - "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones." 1 Corinthians 9:27 - “I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should.” Philippians 4:6  -  “Don’t worry about anything, but pray about everything….” Ephesians 6:18 - “Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition.” Psalms 103:2 - “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” James 1:19 - “Let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.” RELATED LINKS: How Can I Feel Productive as a Mom?
