Is Every Believer A Soul Winner?

This is the Truth Network. Welcome to Truth Talk Live. All right. Let's talk the truth, man. I can't hide it.

A daily program powered by the Truth Network. This is kind of a great thing, and I'll tell you what. Where pop culture, current events, and theology all come together. Speak your mind. And now, here's today's Truth Talk Live host.

Good evening. I'm sorry. Good afternoon. Good day. Truth Talk Live listeners.

We are here with Mr. Fred Haging, and we're going to be talking about soul winning today.

So, why not bring the guy who wrote the book literally on soul winning? It's called Give Him Jesus: the only Soul Winners Handbook You Will Ever Need. And I've Gone through the book, did the training, went out with him.

So we applied what he teaches and also what he teaches from the good book. And like I say, this is a book that you want to follow, but we're not going to focus solely on the book. We want to focus on soul winning. And we definitely need that right now.

So since we have the author in here, I'm just going to let the author speak for himself and tell a little bit about what he's doing and what he has coming up in store for us in the future.

So, Fred Hager, take it away, sir. Thank you, Jamal. Jamal, 95% of the body of Christ have never led one person to Jesus. 95%. For 48 years, I was a part of that 95%.

But in 2002, I got convicted. I could not handle the guilt any longer. And on that particular day, I went to Piedmont Bible College and enrolled there in personal witnessing and evangelism. And um I cannot tell you how much that changed my life. Jamal, I believe that we as God's people are unprepared.

Yes. We're mired in the church. Yeah. We're not prepared, and those opportunities are going to arise. The question is, are we going to be ready to seize the moment or not?

So it's all about getting prepared. And I believe people that. have a personal witnessing skill set. Are people who witness decisions for Christ? I don't believe it happens accidentally, it doesn't happen in default mode.

It happens because we as God's people get prepared. And that book is designed to help every man and woman of God. Develop a personal witnessing skill set that they tailor to fit their personality type. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach to personal witnessing and evangelism. It's about getting a skill set.

That you tailor to fit your personality type that you feel comfortable with, and after you apply that day after day, all of a sudden you get a tremendous comfort level. in that skill set. And when you get that comfort level, you become what I call personal witnessing intentional, not accidental, intentional. We look for opportunities to share our faith. We look for opportunities to share the gospel and tell people about.

The cross. Amen to that. And I like what you said about this is not just a one-size-fits-all. This is for anybody.

So that means, listener, that means you're listening in, listening in, listening in, excuse me, right now on the program. If. you had any kind of reservations about your skill set, about your comfort level. You can also be a soul winner. You could be an evangelist.

That's another reason why in the Bible. Many different people were chosen who they thought were not prepared. Moses was a stutter. He had a speech impediment. I mean, you guys heard me start a little while ago, but you know, you move on.

You don't let your deficiency stop you from sharing the gospel. Anyone can do it. Um is It's real easy. You can make it conversational. That's what I do.

That's how I overcome my fear. I just say, hey, you know, how are you doing? How's the weather?

So on and so forth. Then I give them the gospel. I don't give them a big long sermon. I just talk about Jesus, what he's done in my life, what he can do for anybody else's life. It's real easy, real quick.

And if you can get comfortable like that, then it could be real powerful. It can be a real good connection you can make. We can just. Make it conversational, make it easy and flow within your own skill set, like Fred said.

Now, speaking of skill set, we have somebody on the line who has a very high skill set. That is Pastor Kareem, and he is pastor of the Bible Church in Clements.

Now, this guy, he's all about soul winning.

So, I'm going to let him talk a little bit about soul winning. Pastor Kareem, are you with us, sir? Pass Kareem, are you there? Yes, I am Jamal. I've been listening.

All right, all right, good deal.

So, yeah, just setting you up for you to speak about soul winning, how you all do it at your church. and um how you can inspire other people to do soul winning soul winning as well. Yeah, I mean that. I think as you guys just discussed, Um when Jesus Left. Oh I went back to the father.

We all know the Great Commission. He didn't say all authority has been given to me, therefore go hang out together. He didn't say, All authority has been given to me in heaven and earth, therefore go gather and fellowship. He said, go. to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Make disciples of all nations. And so that's what we do. We're a congregation that is actually represented by. fourteen nations and five languages. And that's what I think Jesus called us to do.

Whoever your neighbor is, it doesn't matter. If I have earthly bonds. if I'm from the same ethnic background or if I am of the same economic background or I speak the same language. Obviously, language is critical, but God provides means in this country to share.

So yes, it's central. I can't think of a believer Who does not share? It's like a guy who's engaged. Imagine if a young man is engaged to a woman and he adores her.

Okay, and he says he loves her. But he never talks about her. He never brings her up. In his conversation, something's wrong with that relationship. It definitely is.

And hold your thought for one quick second. I want to give out the number so people can call in. It's going to be 866-348-7884. Again, the number is 866-348-8484-444. three four eight So, I think that's the only thing that's going to be a very good thing.

Um Another reason why I wanted to jump in, because we're going to be going to a break soon, and I don't want folks to miss out on. Kind of what you bring to the table and kind of what you've talked about before with me about as you mentioned, your Fourteen Nations and your background.

So You come from uh originally Egypt, correct? That's right. I was born in Egypt, raised in Sudan, and came to the United States when I was 17.

Okay, now we have about a minute. That might not be enough time, but maybe we can pick it up on the other side of the break. And we got Mike Dylan calling in. Thank you, Mike. Hold on for one second as well.

We got Amari Chesterton that walked in. He's another major soul winner. Let me tell you, before we go to break, this guy was soul winning in church. Yeah, soul winning in church.

So if you can do that in church, you can do it anywhere because some folks will be like, ah, church, that's safe territory. What are you doing over here? We're all good over here. No, Amari doesn't want to take anything for granted. Excuse me, it's Amori.

Uh so that's the southern coming out of me, brother. I apologize about that. Um So yeah, uh if you could talk a little bit about how Soul winning has Flourished in Egypt and the Middle East, and how it's come over to America. Can you do that in the short amount of time that we have? Sure.

I guess that's directed to me. Yes, sorry, but that is directed to you. Yes. So I mean, it's a longer thing, but I'll just say this. As we remember the two hundred fifty year anniversary of the United States, This Country.

And I challen and I am pretty confident what I'm about to say has been the greatest source of the good news and the gospel, missions, aid to the entire world. And the reason I'm here on this radio call with you is because in eighteen ninety eight, three American young men picked up and decided to go to Sudan in East Africa. Two lost their lives the first month they were there. but they established the SIM Sudan Interior Mission, today called Serving Missions, and the gospel lit up in Africa through the work of missionaries from Europe and the US predominantly the last two hundred years. And that light that was lit by the power of the Holy Spirit is now bringing the gospel to our nations and back to the US too.

Oh, that is amazing. And now you're here spreading the gospel in America. And you said that 14 nationalities in your church otherwise would be killing each other, would be going against each other. But. Heck, can you hang on with us for a little bit longer, at least one more segment segment?

Pastor Karim? Gladly. All right, good. 866-348-7884. If we're talking about Soul Win and how do you do it, do you have any questions, comments?

Do you have any criticisms? 866-348-7884. Mike Dylan, hold on one second. We'll be right back. Truth Talk Live.

Truth talk line. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live. We are talking about soul winning today. And we definitely need some soul winning in this country.

We need soul winning in our households. We need soul winning in our. uh school we need soul winning uh amongst friends Uh we're we're we're talking about it today. We have the author of a book Give Him Jesus by Fred Hagee, the only soul winner book you will ever need. He's in the studio with us.

We have Amory here. He's also a different soul winner. He's got an amazing skill set. We'll get to him in a little bit. And we have Mike Dylan on the line.

Pastor Kareem, if you could hold on for just one second, Mike Dylan can't give us too much time, so I'm going to have him come in for a little bit and we'll get back to you. Brother Mike Dylan, how are you doing today, sir? I'm doing great, Imam. How are you doing? I'm doing fine, sir.

For those that don't know, Mike Dylan is a VP executive. Uh What is that? Vice President Executive for RCR. Excuse me, about that.

So it's a little bit of a long title. And RCR. I work. I work there. Right, he he works there.

He works at a high position there. The title don't matter. I hear you. It's going to factor in a little bit once we unpack what you're doing. For those that don't know, RCR stands for Richard Children's Racing.

They are based out of Lexington. They're at Amazing Racing Group. Um, they have a few people under their wings, and we'll get to that a little bit. Also, Mike is in charge of a group called Hometown Foundation, it's a men's Bible study. They meet every Tuesday at 7 inside the RCN RCR Museum.

I give all that background to show who we have on the show today, but he's also a major soul winner. You have a few events coming up, so if you could talk about the Bible studying, about what you do, and the events coming up, if you would, sir.

Well, yeah, did I hear you say you had Fred with you there? Yep, Fred's in the studio with us today. Hey Mike, how you doing, brother? I'm doing good, Fred. How are you?

Good to hear your voice. Yeah, man. Um, well, you know, um I'm gonna shorten it up for you. I had a while back I had someone give me a book that taught me how to and it's called The First Hour for Men, and Mark Cook was the aut author of it. And it just taught me how to start my day off by getting on my knees, first and foremost, getting on my knees and praying to God.

Prayer's the most important thing. And uh That you can do to build that relationship with the Holy Spirit. Reading my Bible, reading the word and and uh it's alive and and uh You know, it's uh it's been a blessing to me. I'm uh I do it every day. I can't I can't really I can't go tha do my day without starting off like that anymore.

And so I wanted to share it with other men And uh Hometown men. We're Hometown Foundation, but it's Hometown Men's Fellowship is what our Bible study is and our big event is. And just trying to get men to do what men are supposed to be doing by leading their family, you know, praying to God. God first, then your family second, and then uh uh your career and w and whatever else follows, it'll fall right in behind ya, right that and works out really, really beautiful if you uh if you allow God to lead. And that's kind of what we got.

We got a an event coming up October Fourniers? that um we've had we've had I don't know, is this our third one or a fourth one? Jamal, you might have to check me on that. I believe it's the third one. I could be mistaken, though.

I think it's the third one, too. And Frank Turek is going to be our. Our uh main speaker.

So we're super excited about that. And uh uh my other son often Dylan, Ty spoke this past year. And uh with Edward Graham and then uh Austin's gonna gonna start us off with a little bit of what God's doing for him and then uh Frank Turek. We'll take over from there.

So we're super excited about it. But, you know, I'm heading up to the race shop right now to. for our our our Bible study that that spawned off of this. Um we've done it for three years going on our third year. Yeah, and uh We say men's Bible study is free and the doors are open.

Anybody wants to show up? We open the doors at 6:30, start at 7, and We usually don't get out at eight. We go a little bit long.

Sometimes tomorrow might have a little bit of something to say. A little bit. But it's all good. It's a blessing, and I'm heading that way right now. And do you want to talk a little bit real quick about the Meeting going on tomorrow morning.

So tomorrow it's actually a l a l a lunch. I told you breakfast, but it's actually a lunch for veterans uh at RCR and uh if we're all veterans It's uh it's free and uh We're planning on serving about 800 people tomorrow.

So, um, it's and and a lot of our guys, Jamal, from the Bible study, are going up there to help out. Uh So it's pretty cool. They're all gonna be a part of that. But yeah, we have a big veterans event. It's the second Wednesday of every month.

And um with the big celebration two hundred fifty, they wanted to do it a little different this one and there.

So we're going to serve lunch. to all the veterans that show up and And then a lot of the RCR employees will be there joining them as well. And that's that's awesome. And Speaking from a father perspective. You came to Christ and was on fire for Christ, and you got your sons doing that.

You got other fathers doing that, and their sons are following them.

So you are really leading the charge. And with this Bible study, and with the banquet coming up tomorrow, then you have Frank Turek coming in in October. And Frank Turek is. Charlie Kirk's mentor.

So Frank Turk is a big name. And for those that don't know, he wrote the book, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist. I picked it up a little while ago. You check you see him on YouTube and all that. He's he's a great guy.

So you're going to have to leave here shortly. Is that right, Mr. Dylan? I'm good. I can hang with you a little bit.

I got probably 25, 30 minutes. All right, good. I'm on vacation this week, Jamal. I'm actually having, I'm leaving my house going to the Bible study.

Okay.

So I'm good. I mean, if you don't, if you want me to leave, I'll leave. No, no, no. You're good. I want you to state to want to give Morris some time.

So, Pastor Kareem, I'm not sure how much time you can give us, but I want to give Amari a little bit of time. Amari, tell us about what you do and how you got to be such a soul winner, sir.

Well, the Lord has permitted me firstly to be a part of His kingdom, And Witnessing his name is the greatest joy I can ever have. He's permitted me to do that whether through music or being that guy standing on the the corner. And it reminds me of that verse, the same stone which the builders rejected became the head of the corner. Howbeit the mercies of Jesus are so wonderful that the world doesn't understand it. And it's because of that lack of understanding that is so critical.

that we as believers speak the word of God. Even if it's just his name, I believe that with that mustard seed. That breakthroughs can come because of the gospel of Jesus Christ and his great salvation on that cross. Amen, amen.

So call in, guys, 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884. We have a few calls coming up. Pastor Kareem, if you could. Close us out before we go to break. Do you have anything else you want to add on for soul winning?

And um Talk about how we have a lot of other religions coming in. We have the non-religion, the atheists, we have Muslims coming in.

So, can you talk about how?

Soul winning can reach out to those people and get them converted and open themselves up to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, even though they belong to another religion. But this is the main religion, this is the best religion, following Jesus Christ, that they can be in. Can you talk to those people in other religions on. how we can uh be equipped to reach out to those people. Patskaring.

Yeah. Yeah, sure. I mean, in our particular congregation, we've got people who were born into A Sunni Muslim background, people born into a Shiite Muslim background. people who are born into a traditional Christian background like Catholic or Orthodox, I'm talking about uh far east orthodox We have people who grew up in atheist in secular homes, and they are all in Christ. And the backgrounds are different.

The solution is all the same. It's one treatment. And I think the Bible is clear that Yeah. If we know the Lord and if we love him, there's no greater love. than to share the good news by which they can be redeemed and saved.

And Is there a place for understanding background? Sure, if you want to study apologetics. like a Turik does. you can approach the secular atheist much more effectively or or the liberal. If you understand a little bit about the Quran and Islam, you can approach the Muslim with a little more context, right?

Um, but I do want to emphasize that the Samaritan woman who met Jesus at the well for, you know, take your guests. Hold that thought. Uh, we're going to a break. Uh, uh, thank you for what you do. Uh, 866348.

If you lose us, tune in on the Truth Network app. You can also go to truthnetwork.com to find out your local stations. Tune back in, Truth Talk Live. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live.

We're talking about soul winning today. We have some amazing guests. We have some amazing callers. I see your Bucksman right there, Dayton from Ohio. Mike Dayton from Ohio.

Just hold on for one second. We just have a lot of stuff going on for right now. Mr. Amari, am I saying that right? Yes, you are.

All right, Amari, sorry, Amory. He's going to have to catch a flight soon.

So, guys, could you hold on? We're going to get him. And Fred has elected to take him to the. Airport as well.

So, we're going to lose our two great guests, but we have a great content here.

So, we're going to make it work, and I'm pretty sure we're going to have a nice Uh edifying show.

So, with that, we're going to get Amory on the radio so he can. jump back on the topic and let him catch his flight.

So uh Anne-Marie, you're 25 years old. You've traveled to many different places. You're your musician, you're a soul winner. Tell me a little bit about your background and how you got started on this path and how you can inspire others to be such an amazing soul winner like yourself, sir.

Well How'd I start on this path? Can I just tell you the Lord? Started the path. In fact, he has designed the thin and narrow for us. Amen.

And so I was born in the Canary Islands of Spain, which is just off the coast of West Sahara in Morocco. And a lot of my upbringing, I would travel to France and mainland Spain, you know, various parts of Europe, England. And I grew up in the British Overseas Territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands, which Curiously enough, it is on the same horizontal line across the ocean. And I did a lot of education in Florida, and I have just been amazed by how the Lord works so wonderfully, whether it is in Europe, South America, the Caribbean, or North America. Being a musician, I have this expression, the gig is given to they who show up.

And uh this comes from the Gospel verse. That truly the harvest is great and few are the laborers. If we would simply. go beyond giving credence to the gospel, but but actively look for the Lord in the subtleness.

So many folks are looking for mountains to move and cichrus trees to walk, which is good. And if we have that mustard seed faith, but can I tell you? Let us have Intimacy with God. Amen. Let us have proximity.

He is looking to have a relationship with us. Hallelujah. And so we shouldn't have to have God shout at us. to have a conversation. God wants us to be close to Him.

What does that mean? He should be able to whisper and we can hear him. And so, actually, mustard seed faith, I interpret that as. looking for the Lord in the subtleness. In the intimacy, and really, it should be where our composure is set at.

We should be looking for those moments continually. And in the The mustard seeds. Mm. Can I tell you, there's revival happening right now. It's happening in North America.

There's revival happening in South America, in the Caribbean. In fact, we're seeing a lot of reverse missionaries now heading to Europe. And the Lord has put it on my heart, we need to send more missionaries to Europe. You know, it's good that we're going to the ends of the earth. Right.

And we also can't forsake our backyard. Yes, that's right. We can't forsake the lands that are close to us. The Lord's grace is for all nations, and let us speak His truth. Amen to that.

And just to jump right in. Reverse missionaries means missionaries from outside of Europe going to other areas.

So normally. Uh for us, we are the senders out, but Uh, reverse missionary means that uh people from other countries are doing uh going out from their lands and also coming here as well. Uh, so, Anne-Marie, we want to thank you for coming by. Um, you're an amazing talent, you're an amazing guy at 25 years old, going around the world, uh, sharing the gospel, uh, playing music, also not afraid to evangelize inside the church. Uh, we had somebody in our Bobstair that was not saved, so don't take anything for granted.

So, thank you for coming by, Brother Fred, thank you for coming by as well. Thank you for taking him to the airport so he doesn't miss his flight, so he can evangelize in other areas as well.

So, uh, just uh, take care and Godspeed, guys. Uh, we're gonna go to Um Bucksman uh from Dayton, Ohio, Mike Dylan, Pastor Kareem. We want to get back with you. Thank you for your patience. But, Buckman, what do you have to add on to about Soul and today, sir?

Good to hear your voice, Jamal. And shout out to Mike in Dayton. He's my brother from a different mother, but we have the same father. Live in the same region of Ohio, the Dayton area. I just want to shout out to Mike right now.

What I want to add is what an awesome topic, Jamal, and these guests that you have on. I'm very, I love that guy already, never met him, and I just can sense his genuineness. And I think that's what we need, Jamal, is we need genuine uh love coming out of our hearts the lost Pardon. Galatians 5, 6. Says this, and it's off the top of my head, Jamal.

Every good soul winner has the Bible recorded in their frame. Um, it's this: um, God wants all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. Actually, that's 1 Timothy 2:3 through 5. Galatians 5:6, 25. Galatians 5:6 says, It doesn't matter if you're Jew or Gentile.

What matters is expressing our faith, Jamal. In what love. If we don't have genuine love, Brother Jamal, We cannot effectively be good ministers for Christ. We will mess up the message, we won't get it right because we have no love in our heart that's generated. By the love of God within us.

to ex exude from our chest Into the other man or woman's chest who doesn't have that love yet. And I think Paul just nailed it to the Galatians when he said those words: that it doesn't matter what country they're from. Doesn't matter what of Dayton they're from. And as Mike can tell you, if there's good areas of Dayton, there's really bad areas of Dayton. There's high crime areas of Dayton, but there's parts of Dayton that has the highest scholastic points in Ohio.

So it's a matter of Love. It doesn't matter if they're Jew or Gentile. What matters is expressing our faith, the Lord Jesus Christ. through love, not hate, not debate. Not reasoning, but love that person, learn their name.

Give me specifics, Buzzman. Learn their name early on in your meeting that person that you wanted to give Christ into. Learn their name, say it back to them. It then programs that name in your mind, but it says to that listener: this guy really cares about me, or this woman really cares about me. He remembered my name.

and then move on with that. When they sense they are loved. Their inhibitions for religious talk diminishes a couple levels, if not altogether, is what I've learned. And that way you can easily express your faith Into that person's mind, which drops down into their heart and starts to change them. And that part, everyone, is where the Holy Spirit takes over.

That's exactly right. And Bucksman, I just gotta, I just gotta jump in for time.

So I appreciate the call, but you're exactly right, Bucksman. You gotta come in with love. There's also a secular type of saying. Nobody cares to hear what you want to say unless they know how much you care.

So Josh McDowell said that. Josh McDowell said that. Love you, Jamal. Love your truth talk. Love your truth talk, Mike, out there in Dayton.

God bless, my friend. God bless. And we're going to go to Mike from Dayton, Ohio. Mike, we're talking about soul winning today.

So how. How do you want to approach this topic of soul winning? What does it mean to you, sir?

Well, it means a lot to me and um it's being um Led by the spirit, like Buckman said. Love is everything. I don't know if you have enough time. But I I I reached a man and um I did, and God did. A man, it was over at Lowe's, and he was 95 years old.

He was walking across the parking lot in a. And a uh scoot um what do you call it, a walker with tennis balls on it. And I've been sensitive about older people because I've been taking care of older people lately. Anyways, I walked over to him, sir, and I said, Sir, do you need any help getting into those? Do you need to get me a card?

It seems like you're struggling about a cost of thing. He says, no, I'm fine. I need the exercise. I said, wow, okay. Um, and he was 95 years old, and um, I said, Sir, um, how old are you?

And he says, I'm 95, and I said, Oh, wow. And so, by having that conversation with him, I was able to talk to him and I asked his name, and his name was Jim, and I'm still praying for him now. I looked on his neck, and he had a rosary around his neck. And around his neck, I said, Jim, I noticed you have a rosary around the neck. He said, Yeah, I just.

uh converted to C uh Catholicism uh six months ago. I said, wow, okay. And I said, Hey, Jim, how do you get to heaven? He says, Well You got to be good. I says, No, Jim, I'm sorry.

And I led him through Romans Road. I have it on my phone. Good. I have it on my phone. I just went on my phone and I started talking to him.

He said, every time I talk to a set of verse, he says, I heard that one before. I heard this one before. Oh, it's then that comes short of the glory of God. I've heard that one. And then I ended up with John 3:16, for God so loved the world, you know, and whoever could, you know.

And then I said, Jim, he goes, man, I said, Jim, do you want to pray right now and go to heaven? He says, Why not? He grabbed my hand. I grabbed his hand. I might have grabbed his hand.

I don't know. I'm crying, anyways, at the time. And we grabbed each other's hand, and I led him in a prayer. You know, the one that you hear all the time at church, and that's what God gave me. And at the end of the prayer, I said, he looked at me and I said, Jim, what do you think?

He says, He pointed at me with a big old finger right in my face. He says, I'll see you in heaven. Amen. 95 years old. 95 years old.

I'm still crying about it now. And I'll never forget that in the rest of my life. And nor should you. And the reason. Go ahead.

Go ahead. Yes. Yeah, the and the reason is is because I'm in prayer. I'm reading my Bible. I'm saying, God lead me today.

And um thank you. For lead me to this man, Didn't need to Christ. Amen. You know what I mean? Amen.

Hey, guys, you hear the passion in his voice. He sees. got the joy of the Lord and We have a guy by the pastor, Pastor Kareem. He's an engineer. We got Mike Dylan.

He's a VP executive. I finally got it right, Mike, over the RCR. But these guys are about soul winning. We can't take our money, we can't take our positions, we can't take our cars and all kinds of possessions. We can't take that with us, but we can take another soul to heaven.

And that's the joy. That's a feeling that nothing can replace. You hear that out of Mike. That's real. Uh, so um, if we can go from uh soul winning from an executive position to a regular guy like me and Mike, that means anybody can soul win, and that's what we're here to do.

Uh, and that we want to make heaven crowded. Uh, any kind of any kind of opportunity we have is going to be about soul winning.

So, thank you, brother Mike. Uh, keep soul winning yourself, sir, and thank you for calling in. Um. Pastor Kareem, Pastor Mike.

Well, you are kind of a Pastor Mike because you lead the Bible study. We have a few more seconds. Can both of you all hang on for a little while longer? Or do you have to leave? Sure, sure.

I'm good. Okay, good, good. Cause we have a break coming up. And I just want to close out with some strong winners. 866-348-7884.

Call in. We'd like to hear from you. We have two soul winners on the line right now. They're from different backgrounds, different ethnicities. I bring that up to show that this is not just a linear, monolithical type of type of scenario.

Anybody from any background, as Fred said, can share the gospel. Heck, I'm a testimon testament about sharing the gospel myself. I did not want to get out there and share the gospel. I didn't want to talk to anybody about that. I thought that was the pastor's job.

But as I went to a Bible study, they mentioned that you got to go out there and do it. Paul said, go to all the world and share the gospel. But before we continue on with our guests, Mike Dylan and Pastor Kareem. I just want to give a shout out to our sponsors. They help us.

So. Pastor Kareem, we see Brian from India. Indiana.

Sorry about that, Brian. Brian from Indiana calling in. We're going to hold off on Brian for right now. Pastor Kareem, we were talking about.

Soul went into other ethnicities, other religions. Um And You said that there's no special kind of treatment, which I like. I like that line.

So That means you shouldn't have any kind of fear.

So, how can one do soul winning? Do we go to a mosque? Do we just call somebody up and invite them out for coffee? Um and from any religion, how do we engage that person to be a soul winner for that person? What does that look like?

Okay.

Yeah, the good news, Jamal, is we don't have to invent anything. The scripture gives us how the early church did it. and the church exploded. in a mere few decades. around what would be Southeastern Europe, the Middle East, and even parts of North Africa.

And this is how they did it. They heard the gospel. They believed the good news that there is redemption in Jesus. they received and were sealed by the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit guided them.

as they shared the truth of the gospel. with their neighbors first in their homes. than their neighbors. Then they're places of work. You can just trace the book of Acts and see all the places.

A women's prayer group, a Yeah. Um uh the temple.

So it was places of work. Neighbors And uh the people that God naturally puts into your life.

Now, you're equipped with the Holy Spirit, you know the gospel, you study the word. And You declare As a witness, what God has done. The Samaritan woman didn't go to Dallas Theological Seminary before she could go evangelize. Right, right. She heard, she met Jesus, she was changed.

And 15, 20 minutes later, she was saying, Come, see a man who did who told me everything I ever did. Amen. And she gave her testimony.

So we shouldn't be afraid because. If we think it's on you, then you're afraid. But if you realize it's the Holy Spirit speaking through you, and equipping you. You won't be afraid. And of course, that does not take her away from two things.

One, Paul said to Timothy, study to show yourself approved. We should study the word, know the word. And God speaks through his word and his end through the conviction of the spirit. And then finally, As you get to know people and understand their backgrounds, It is effective to study. Paul went into Athens.

And he apparently did his homework. He said, People of Athens, I see you're a religious people. I see all these statues. And I see this one to the unknown God. I'm here to tell you about it.

So he did his homework, right? Yes. So I think those are just rapid fire. I'm, of course, not elaborating a lot.

Some of the key things to encourage us to share the good news and to grow the kingdom. Amen. And that lady at the well became a soul winner herself. You know, come and see. She ran out to her people.

And I like what you said. Go talk to your neighbor. Go talk to somebody at work. We pretty much, in this country, with the melting pot that we have, we pretty much all know somebody from another faith or no faith at all. It could be your next door neighbor.

It could be, as Pastor Kareem said, that guy at work, that person, that lady that you know, that you talk to every day, maybe walking your dog. Those are evangelism opportunities. They're all around. I had one, I had two. At a bookstore a little while ago, somebody lady just walked up to me and wanted to play Scrabble.

I was like, I don't have time to play Scrabble lady. I'm, you know, reading a book. You know, I'm in my personal time. But I said, you know what? She's here for a reason.

out of all the people in this bookstore, she walked up to me. And I said, you know what? Let's play Scrapple. I can read later on. And we talked about God and invited her to church.

And she also said, you know what, there's something about you that drew me to you. Do you have that Truth Talk live listener? Do you have something that draws people to you? And then, once they are drawn to you, can you talk about the gospel? Can you talk about soul winning?

Now, Mike Dylan. For you to be a VP I mean, clearly, you don't have time to do any soul winning, right? You got to run a business. You got to get those cars, you know, running that tip-top shape. You got to get your drivers on point.

You got to make sure that the money's coming in. We got sponsors and all that. You don't have time to go out and soul win, right? Oh yeah, we got time. We uh that's the m that's the number one most important thing.

it um you know it's if you don't if you put you put all that other stuff first You're not doing it right. God's first. That's why I start off prayer and reading the Bible. You know, I'm listening. You know, uh I really like what the pastor said about There's no there's no real There's no real trick to it.

If you're if you've got a relationship with the Holy Spirit, which is by praying and reading your Bible, and you'll build it, He'll give you the people that you need to talk to. Amen. You don't even have to go out and hunt them, He will put the people near you then. Then You gotta have. Be ready and do it.

Do what he says. You know, there's times I tell people all the time that. Man, every almost every time my gut gets in a knot. You know, am I going to do this right? You know, what are they going to say?

But you got to do it, you got to go. And then you know it's the Holy Spirit telling you what to do. And and a lot of times We all hear it and we all feel it, but do you act on it when it's given to you, when he gives it to you, or that person he gives to you? Um So it's um That's what I you know, I love the uh um the other pastor um who left with a flight and Fred took I like You know, talking about love. You know, the two greatest commandments is um is everything.

And it's so funny when you ask people, you know what the two greatest commandments are. And everybody always knows the Ten Commandments, but The two greatest commandments, you know you know where they are, right? Oh, yeah. You have a lot Go ahead and say it. And then the second was like it.

Love your neighbor as thyself. That's right. If we can all love our neighbors each other as we do ourselves, I mean You got to solve, don't you? We got to solve it. It's love your neighbor.

How do you do that? Love your guy, love your neighbor. I mean, there's different ways of doing that.

So, we're going to jump on with Brian from Indiana. Brian, you got about a minute, sir. What does soul winning mean to you? What is so what they mean to make it? I mean, there's different ways of doing it.

Well, I can't stand the thought of anybody going to nail. Yeah. You know, it just really isn't. I'm sorry. I think you might have a little bit of feedback.

If your radio's on, if you could turn that radio down. But continue on about 30 more seconds left, Brian. Yeah, I just can't stand the idea of uh somebody spending eternity in hell 'cause hell's forever. you know, you can't redo it. Right.

There's no mulligans in hell. And, you know, when I think about that, I think about people in my family and people that I know. I wonder, you know, if they're if they don't Christ or not, you know, and so I want to. As the Spirit leads me, I want to share that with them. Yeah.

Amen. It's a compelling force. It gets you out of your malaise, it gets you out of your fear a little bit. Um So what's your approach and about uh Fifteen seconds, what's your approach on Soul Winning?

Well I try to talk to them about the fact that we're all centers Everybody. No no one's exempt except for Christ. And but the good news is that uh God has mercy And he offers us uh a way out of that, uh, you know, redemption for that sin. You know, and it's it's offered to every offer to the whole world. It says, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish.

and have everlasting life. I remember I'd say when I was a little kid, you know, I remember Forgotten that, but that says it all. Yeah, that's right. And we got to jump in, Brian. But thank you very much for your call.

Pastor Kareem, in about 30 seconds, tell us how we can be plugged into you and where we can find out what your ministry is all about. You can go to just Google Bible Church or Clemens or put it into your chat. GPT or Gemini. And we have an event coming up, which maybe we'll mention later. But the Middle Eastern Christian Festival is a massive event, and it is a very evangelistic event, right?

Under the guise of merely culture.

So we'll touch on that maybe a little later, September 26th and 27th. All right. In about 10 seconds, Mike, go ahead with how we can get in contact with you. We're just over here in Wellcome, North Carolina, at Richard Childress Racing. Come to the museum or a Bible study, and then you can look us up on Facebook.

Uh hometown, uh, Hometown Foundation or Hometown Men's Fellowship. Good deal. Hey, good deal. Yeah, yep, that's right. But uh, go soul win, True Talk Live.

Thank you. Yeah.
