This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Cody Steele. Cody is a skilled electrician with a heart for sharing Jesus through his work. I was inspired by his intentional approach—not only striving for excellence in his trade but also looking for meaningful opportunities to share his faith with the people he serves. It’s part 2 of a powerful conversation you won’t want to miss!

This week, we continue our deep dive into practical skills for evangelism. In Part 2 of the series, we’re focusing on the importance of paying attention—to people, to opportunities, and to the relationships that can open doors for sharing the gospel.

What does it look like to be present and aware in everyday moments? How can we become more intentional about noticing the needs around us and responding in love? This week, we’ll explore simple, practical ways to build meaningful connections with friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and classmates—steps that can naturally lead to conversations about faith.

As always, I’d love to hear from you. How are you being intentional about reaching out and sharing Christ in your day-to-day life?

After taking some time off, I felt it was important to return to the basics. As Christians, we all recognize the importance of evangelism—but how can we grow in it practically? Over the course of 84 episodes, I’ve learned so much, and now I want to share what I’ve discovered.

This new series will break down practical skills for each of the 8 steps in the SteppingStones approach to evangelism. In today’s episode, we’re starting with the first two: Gospel Joy and Gospel Community. How can we actively grow in sharing our faith, starting right where we are?

Tune in—and I’d love to hear your feedback and ideas as we go on this journey together.

After a summer break, we're back to interview the man the myth the legend, my dad, John Repp. In many ways he's my biggest influence in evangelism. I really enjoyed learning more about his story and why his passion has been knowing and sharing Jesus for almost 60 years!! Hope you enjoy it too!

This week we interview Kyle Taylor. Kyle and his wife, Ashley, have two kids and have been attending Living Hope for three years. We learn a little about Kyle's life and then hear his Christian testimony. It's great to hear how God called him and is transforming his life.

Powerful testimonies are built on three key elements:

1. Personal Stories
2. Emotional Impact
3. Scripture that Resonates

When combined, these elements create a testimony the Holy Spirit can use to touch the hearts of your unsaved family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and classmates. Below, I’ll share a bit more about each element, followed by an example from a sermon I preached last summer. I hope it encourages you to take the step and share your story!

Nobody wants to hear a dull, mechanical retelling of your life. However, when you share from the heart—expressing the struggles you’ve faced and how God has transformed you—it becomes truly powerful! This week, we’ll explore how to reflect on the many ways God has shaped your life and, through prayer, discover how to share those transformative stories with others.
