“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

But what exactly is faith? And what does it look like to live by faith—not just in the big, dramatic moments of life, but in the ten thousand small, ordinary moments that fill every day?

That’s the focus of this episode of The Connecting Podcast, the first in a multi-part series where Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott dive deep on the subject of faith.

Over the past few episodes of The Connecting Podcast, Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott have been exploring what it means to live as everyday evangelists—ordinary people sharing an extraordinary gospel in everyday moments.

In this fourth and final episode, they wrap up their conversation on evangelism by offering practical tools and biblical encouragement to help you boldly share your faith wherever God has placed you.

Whether you're new to faith or a seasoned believer, we all need fresh courage and clarity in this vital calling.

Over the past few episodes of The Connecting Podcast, Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott have been exploring what it looks like to live as an everyday evangelist, someone who naturally and intentionally shares the hope of the gospel in the rhythms of daily life.

In this third installment, Paul and Shelby dive even deeper into the heart of evangelism, offering fresh encouragement and practical insight for reaching the people God has placed around you.

Whether you’ve been sharing your faith for years or you’re just beginning to step out in this area, our prayer is that this ongoing series equips you with gospel courage and compassion for everyday conversations.

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!
