Episode: Cancer and Pride Were Killing Stuart

1 hour 40 minutes

In this episode of Street Fishing Podcast, Tony travels back in time five years to a memorable conversation with Stuart, in Barking, England. Tony was in England, in the summer of 2015, with a small team of evangelists, preaching the gospel on the streets in the greater London area.

Stuart heard the preaching and approached Tony who was standing nearby.

Stuart was 67-years-old at the time and dying of cancer. A Vietnam War vet, Stuart was haunted by the horrific fighting he experienced 50 years earlier. He wanted to "clear the decks" and he knew he needed God. It wasn't the cancer that was getting in the way, however; it was his pride.

Tony's "Chalk Talk" on this special, expanded edition of the podcast includes:

1. the importance of listening

2. the Christian's ministry of reconciliation

3. using people's own analogies and metaphors against them, so to speak

4. addressing people's military service and the taking of human life

5. a word to fathers

6. when not to address theological errors

7. pride dressed up as nobility

8. God owes no one an explanation

9. when people change the subject
