Five Powerful Ways to Share the Gospel and Plant Seeds in Your Everyday Life

[00:00] Hi. I don't know what your algorithm

[00:01] looks like, but there are Christians all

[00:04] over the world right now who have been

[00:06] tremendously impacted by the events that

[00:08] have taken place this last week. Charlie

[00:11] Kirk's assassination has Christians

[00:13] rising up in Sydney, Australia.

[00:15] Christ is the one that inspired Charlie.

[00:19] The United Kingdom, Madrid, Spain,

[00:21] Poland, Vienna, Austria, Germany, New

[00:25] Zealand, Tel Aviv, and even more. So

[00:28] many are saying that they want to boldly

[00:30] declare the name of Jesus more than they

[00:32] ever have before. So with that being

[00:34] said, I thought this was a very timely

[00:36] video for the body of Christ. We may not

[00:38] all be called to speak on college

[00:40] campuses like Charlie.

[00:42] Could give you the technical answer.

[00:43] There's never been an archaeological

[00:44] discovery that has contradicted the

[00:45] truth of the Bible,

[00:46] but we are all called to be the salt of

[00:50] the earth and share the gospel with all

[00:52] creation. And there are so many ways to

[00:54] do that. So, I want to share with you

[00:56] guys five ways to share the gospel and

[00:58] to plant seeds in the lives of those

[01:00] that God has placed around you. And I

[01:03] don't normally ask this, but if this

[01:04] video blesses you and you feel that it

[01:06] encouraged you to share the gospel in a

[01:08] way that you never knew you could

[01:10] before, go ahead and drop a like so we

[01:12] can get this video out to more of the

[01:14] body of Christ. With that being said,

[01:16] let's dive in. Number one, opening

[01:18] scripture in public spaces. This was

[01:20] something I discovered was planting

[01:22] seeds without me even intentionally

[01:24] trying to plant seeds. I was working on

[01:26] a video for you guys and headed to my

[01:28] local library with my Bible and I

[01:30] couldn't help but notice the eyes on me

[01:32] from people passing by or people sitting

[01:34] nearby. But it's important to point out

[01:36] that we shouldn't be doing this to look

[01:38] righteous in front of others, but that

[01:41] our heart is in the right place when we

[01:44] do this. The library or a park or a

[01:46] coffee shop are also great places to

[01:49] have a small Bible study and maybe even

[01:51] a Bible study gathering with a few

[01:54] friends. It can plant seeds in those

[01:56] nearby who catch a glance or maybe

[01:59] overhear your conversation about

[02:01] scripture. I also can't help but feel

[02:02] like this falls into an even bigger

[02:04] category when it comes to how we are

[02:06] presenting ourselves to the world. I

[02:08] can't help but feel like when I wear a

[02:10] shirt or a hoodie or just something that

[02:12] represents Jesus boldly wearing things

[02:15] about Jesus plants seeds and anybody

[02:18] that you come in contact with. I got to

[02:20] experience this firsthand wearing a hat

[02:22] that says Jesus is king. Some people

[02:24] smiled, some people had their gears

[02:26] turning in their head and also I got

[02:28] plenty of dirty looks and continue to

[02:29] get dirty looks every time I wear it.

[02:31] But I wear it boldly for Jesus. not to

[02:33] look righteous, not to appear righteous

[02:35] to anybody, but to plant seeds that I

[02:38] walk with Jesus. Unfortunately, me

[02:40] wearing a cross doesn't really say too

[02:42] much in 2025 because there are many that

[02:44] openly deny Jesus that will still wear a

[02:47] cross on their t-shirt, on their hoodie,

[02:48] or even a cross necklace or cross

[02:50] earrings. The devil has definitely

[02:52] succeeded in that area. So, I figured,

[02:54] and I think so many other Christians are

[02:56] figuring, let's be more bold about it.

[02:58] Even putting some stickers about Jesus

[03:00] on your Hydro Flask or your laptop.

[03:02] great ideas as well. And I just can't

[03:04] help but feel that they are planting

[03:06] seeds in anybody that comes in contact

[03:08] with you. Number two, being radically

[03:11] generous. And I don't even mean

[03:13] financially. Just giving your all and

[03:15] putting people above you. Whether that's

[03:17] making a meal or maybe even a dessert

[03:20] for someone that you've noticed has

[03:22] seemed down lately, asking someone you

[03:24] care about if there is anything you can

[03:26] do to make their life easier this week

[03:28] because you happen to have some spare

[03:29] time. or maybe even reaching out to the

[03:32] person in front of you at the grocery

[03:33] store and saying, "Hey, you know what?

[03:34] Do you mind if I go ahead and pay for

[03:36] your groceries?" Meet a need in

[03:37] someone's life and make it clear that it

[03:39] isn't just kindness. It's because Christ

[03:42] has been generous to you. This is such a

[03:44] great way to not only live out the

[03:46] gospel, live out how God tells us to

[03:48] exalt others above ourselves, but all at

[03:50] the same time planting seeds in others

[03:53] about Jesus. And you look crazy. You

[03:55] look weird. I think a lot of being the

[03:57] salt of the earth is looking weird. Not

[04:00] looking like a nut job, but just looking

[04:01] in a way that is weird or uncommon to

[04:04] those around you. You have to be willing

[04:06] to put pride aside. Number three can be

[04:09] scary the first time and maybe even the

[04:12] second. But this is truly such a

[04:14] powerful and effective way to not only

[04:17] share the light of Christ to those

[04:19] walking in darkness, but to also do what

[04:22] God has called us to do, which is offer

[04:25] prayer boldly. 1 Timothy 2:1 tells us,

[04:28] "I urge that supplications, prayers,

[04:31] intercessions, and thanksgivings be made

[04:34] for all people." When you see someone

[04:37] struggling, offering to pray for them is

[04:40] how we intercede. When someone shares

[04:42] with you that they are struggling in a

[04:44] certain point in their life, don't just

[04:46] say, "I'm going to pray for you. I'm

[04:47] going to pray for you tonight when I get

[04:48] home." Say, "Can I pray for you right

[04:50] now? Can we pray for this? Would it be

[04:52] okay if I prayed for you right now?"

[04:54] That moment of courage can deeply impact

[04:57] someone in a way that you have no idea.

[04:59] And also that prayer that you could pray

[05:01] with somebody could deeply impact

[05:03] something happening in the spiritual

[05:05] realm that we cannot see. and that

[05:07] person might see the fruits of that

[05:09] prayer and how that prayer got answered

[05:10] and end up turning to Jesus because

[05:13] prayer works. Number four, 1 Peter 3:15

[05:17] tells us, "Always be prepared to give an

[05:20] answer to everyone who asks you to give

[05:23] the reason for the hope that you have."

[05:25] Before I do anything, when it comes to

[05:27] going to a social event or somewhere

[05:29] where I know I'm going to be with more

[05:31] than two or three people that maybe

[05:32] don't know Jesus, I try to remember to

[05:34] always reach out to Jesus and say,

[05:36] "Lord, I pray that you open a door of

[05:39] conversation about you. I pray that you

[05:41] give me a little bit of a window of an

[05:42] opportunity for me to share my testimony

[05:45] and for me to share just something about

[05:47] you, to sprinkle a little bit of Jesus

[05:49] in the conversation." And I mentioned 1

[05:51] Peter 3:15 because we need to be

[05:54] prepared. We need to be in the word to

[05:55] be able to do this. I used to get so

[05:57] anxious when it came to sharing my

[05:59] testimony or just sharing anything about

[06:01] Jesus because I was just so nervous I

[06:03] was going to be asked something that I

[06:05] maybe didn't have the answer to or I

[06:07] just felt tremendous pressure to not say

[06:09] the wrong thing. But I've discovered two

[06:11] things. One, the more you do it, the

[06:14] easier it is. And two, I've discovered

[06:16] that my testimony doesn't have to be

[06:18] forced into a conversation. It doesn't

[06:20] have to be my whole testimony. could be

[06:22] bits and pieces of my testimony because

[06:24] I feel like also I've come in contact

[06:26] with people that need a certain part of

[06:28] my testimony more than another part of

[06:30] my testimony. For example, my zodiac

[06:32] sign is on my wrist still. And I've had

[06:34] a couple instances where this has

[06:36] brought up a conversation. And I found a

[06:38] great response to anytime somebody

[06:40] brings up this tattoo is the fact that I

[06:43] want to remove it, but I've decided to

[06:45] keep it. And then instantly they're

[06:46] like, "Why would you want to remove

[06:47] that?" And then thus a conversation

[06:49] about Jesus is born. And that's just

[06:51] another part of my testimony is with

[06:53] zodiac signs. How I used to worship the

[06:55] creation until I met the creator. But

[06:58] again, just be ready. And also just pray

[07:00] for God to open up conversations. Trust

[07:03] me, he will because the harvest is

[07:06] plentiful and the workers are few. God

[07:08] is looking down on his people and he's

[07:10] saying, "Who is willing? Who can I use?

[07:13] Can God use you?" Okay, we've arrived at

[07:16] our last one, which is number five, and

[07:18] it's my all-time favorite one, and

[07:19] something we kind of touched on in the

[07:21] end of one of our videos about a new

[07:23] brother in Christ, Nisa, how God has

[07:26] used him to reach millions across social

[07:29] media through his videos and his

[07:31] personal walk with Jesus. So, quick

[07:33] question. Do you have one of these?

[07:34] Great, because then you have no excuse.

[07:37] What is stopping you from posting your

[07:39] own video just 10 to 15 seconds long,

[07:41] maybe even a minute of how Jesus brought

[07:44] you from death to life? I don't know how

[07:46] many views this video is going to get,

[07:48] but when you're watching this video, go

[07:50] ahead and look at the number below this

[07:52] video. and really think to yourself if

[07:55] everyone that is watching this video

[07:56] right now or has watched this video,

[07:58] just posted a video or maybe even

[08:00] something on Facebook, just a text post

[08:02] that Jesus changed your life and brought

[08:05] you from death to life. I can only

[08:07] imagine the ripple effect that that

[08:09] would cause. One of the biggest lies the

[08:11] enemy will try to convince the body of

[08:13] Christ is that your testimony isn't

[08:16] special and that God isn't trying to use

[08:18] you for big things, but you were called

[08:20] for a very big purpose. And even if that

[08:23] video that you post or that post that

[08:25] you post only gets six likes or six

[08:27] views, you really have no idea what God

[08:30] will do with it and the ripple effect it

[08:32] will cause. What happened last week has

[08:34] been really heavy on me. I don't know

[08:35] about you, but I've just been really

[08:37] thinking about how tomorrow is not

[08:40] promised. We have no idea what tomorrow

[08:42] will bring. I don't know if I'm going to

[08:43] make it to my destination today. We

[08:45] don't know when God is going to call us

[08:47] home. We don't know when our time is up.

[08:50] We don't know how much time we have left

[08:52] to boldly share the name of Jesus as

[08:55] easily as we can right now. Make the

[08:57] most of today. I love you guys. God

[09:00] bless you. I can't wait to see you for

[09:01] our next video. And with that being

[09:03] said, I will see you in the comment

[09:04] section. Bye guys. If you enjoyed this
