On the last episode of The Connecting Podcast, Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott began a conversation about what it means to be an Everyday Evangelist—a passionate follower of Jesus who shares the gospel in the ordinary moments of life with friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.

In today’s episode, Paul and Shelby continue that conversation, offering practical encouragement to help you connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life, specifically for those who don’t yet know Him.

It’s our prayer that this multi-part series will inspire and equip you to boldly share the Good News right where God has placed you.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14–16).

What does it look like to live as light in your neighborhood, shining the bright truth of Jesus to those living in darkness? In this new episode of The Connecting Podcast, Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott begin a conversation about evangelism and how we can share the Good News with our non-believing friends, neighbors, family, and coworkers.

We're excited to welcome Sam Allberry back on the Connecting Podcast with Paul for a third time!

Sam is a pastor, apologist, author, and speaker. Originally from England, he now lives and pastors in Nashville and is the author of a number of books, including Is God Anti-Gay?; What God Has to Say About Our Bodies; Why Does God Care Who I Sleep With?; and 7 Myths about Singleness.

We hope you are blessed by this gospel conversation with our most frequent guest.

We all need the gospel every day, for all of everyday life. But what is the gospel, and how does it transform our ordinary, everyday lives? That's what this Connecting Podcast is about.

In this episode, Paul sits down with Ray Ortlund and Sam Allberry. Ray and Sam are both pastors, authors, and speakers, but most of all, they're ordinary men trying to live out the gospel in their everyday lives. And they want to encourage us to do the same.

Enjoy this gospel conversation between Paul, Ray Ortlun,d and Sam Allberry!

If you have been blessed by anything that Paul Tripp and Paul Tripp Ministries has produced over the last two decades, it's largely because of the sacrifice of one man: Steve Sarkisian.

In the early 2000s, Steve's marriage was on the brink of divorce, and God used Paul during his days as a biblical counselor to restore Steve's relationship with Gail. Afterward, Steve walked away from tens of millions of dollars in personal fortune, sold his Rolls Royce, and helped co-found Paul Tripp Ministries in 2006.

This month's guest on The Connecting Podcast is our very own co-founder and vice-president of Paul Tripp Ministries. You'll be blessed and encouraged by his story of redemption!

This month's guest is one of our own, Ben Fallon, who serves as the Executive Director of Paul Tripp Ministries.

Paul Tripp Ministries is a nonprofit organization, and we have a team of 12 who creatively and administratively support Paul. Our staff creates gospel resources that connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life and distribute them around the world to several million people every year.

In this episode, you'll get to hear part of the origin story of how Paul Tripp Ministries has grown into the organization that it is today.

The Spanish-speaking church is exploding, with nearly half a billion Christians. Will the Church, particularly in Latin America, be able to keep up and disciple the next generation of believers?

This is the goal of City to City Latin America, a church-planting network founded by the late Tim Keller. Our Connecting Podcast guest for this month is Andres Garza, the regional director of City to City Latin America.

In May of 2025, Paul Tripp will be traveling to Santiago, Chile, to teach hundreds of pastors and church leaders from all over Latin America, equipping them to connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life for their churches and congregations.

We're excited to partner with Andres and City to City Latin America to bring the practical, everyday gospel message to the Spanish-speaking church. We hope you enjoy this conversation about how God is at work in Latin America!

In this month’s episode of The Connecting Podcast, we welcome Pastor Tim Challies.

Be prepared to be encouraged, challenged, and enlightened in this episode of The Connecting Podcast.

Joy. Sadness. Anger. Fear. Disgust.

No, Paul isn’t interviewing the animators of a popular cartoon movie about emotions, but he is discussing emotions with biblical counselor Alasdair Groves in this month's episode of The Connecting Podcast.

Emotions are complex, and the Bible teaches that they are an indispensable part of what makes us human. So get ready to explore, untangle, and engage with how God designed emotions for our good.

"When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers" (Proverbs 21:15). But what if the justice system is unjust?

This month, attorney Matthew Martens joins us on the Connecting Podcast. He has both prosecuted and defended accused murderers, served a US Supreme Court Justice, and worked for the President Bush Administration.

In his 25+ year career, he is one of a few attorneys who has won cases in all four areas of law: civil plaintiff, civil defendant, criminal prosecution, and criminal defendant.

Let's discover what the Bible has to say about justice, and Matt's new book, Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal.
