Welcome to Season 2 of Ignite with Barry Meguiar! In today’s world there is no shortage of opportunities to share God’s word, you just need to be willing to answer His call. What will be your wake-up call to start living God’s purpose for your life? In Ezekiel 38, you undoubtedly see parallels with current events. In these days when good is called evil and evil is called good, it...

Host Barry Meguiar tells the story of how he helped lead his friend, Dave, to the Lord after learning of his Stage 4 cancer diagnosis. He shares this impactful example of why we must always heed the call to bring others closer to God, every moment of every day. Answering the call to lead someone to Christ is always urgent. We never know when our time on Earth will be up, and we should always be wo...

If you're intentionally sharing your faith, you're constantly looking for opportunities to inject God into the conversation, without raising eyebrows. You will always get a "gift" of a topic that you can turn into a God conversation, just listen, and the Lord always provides an opportunity! Sometimes when we attempt to share God’s word, we don’t think we’re being heard. But as th...

Join host Barry Meguiar as he talks with Jim Rice, the voice of Brush Arbor, about how God speaks to others through us. With the Holy Spirit as our interpreter, we can carry His message to anyone, anywhere as long as we’re always listening and looking for opportunities! Sometimes when we attempt to share God’s word, we don’t think we’re being heard. But as the Parable of th...

We never know when we’re going to have the opportunity to help someone understand just how much God loves them. In this episode, Barry talks with America’s Tenor, Steve Amerson, and author Bill Wiese about the many ways that God is using us every day to bring people closer to Him.   Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and businessman who hosted the popular TV show, Car Crazy , on Discovery Networks fo...

Barry, author Bill Wiese, and America’s Tenor, Steve Amerson, meet again to talk about how we should never be afraid to share the Gospel. We don’t need to worry about not having all of the answers. God has given us all the information we need in His Word. They also discuss how we can position ourselves and others to be more effective messengers of Christ.  Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and busin...

Barry, Steve, and Bill discuss why people are afraid to share their faith and how to measure our spiritual pulse. Are we feeling less than qualified to share God’s Word? Are we embarrassed to witness? Zeal isn’t just for new Christians! He’s given us the authority to share the Gospel to bring people closer, every day to Jesus.  Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and businessman who hosted the popular...

By sharing our faith, we bring joy to God! In that joy, we gain our strength. We’re called to “love on” people until they ask us why we are doing it. We do this by praying for them, sharing our faith, and taking every opportunity to bring them, every day, closer to God.  Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and businessman who hosted the popular TV show, Car Crazy, on Discovery Networks for 18 years. H...

As sharers of faith, everything we say and do can either move people closer to or further away from God. Steve Amerson share how we must take every opportunity to try and “demystify” praying for others and sharing our faith.  Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and businessman who hosted the popular TV show, Car Crazy, on Discovery Networks for 18 years. He loves cars, but he loves Jesus even more! Le...

People are hungry for the Gospel and the hope it brings. No matter where he is performing, Steve Amerson always asks God the question, “Is there someone here that I’m supposed to say something to?” Sometimes the answer is yes, but other times the Lord tells him that he needs to pray for them instead. He never misses a divine appointment to share God’s word.   Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and bu...

When asked what he does for a living, Bill Wiese, Author of 23 Minutes in Hell, responds simply, “I teach the Bible.” Sharing the Gospel with others is a lot like how fishermen use chum. We must give people the opportunity to ask the questions they want answered about God and live our lives to seek and save the lost. Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and businessman who hosted the popular TV show, C...

Author and speaker, Bill Wiese shares examples of times when he felt called to share the Gospel. Sometimes people had questions, but other times the audience was less receptive...at first. We can’t beat people into Heaven, but we should always be willing to share what we can to help them understand how to get there.  Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and businessman who hosted the popular TV show, C...

One way we show God that we love Him is by talking about Him. It’s one of the first things we do when we become Christians. We tell people how great God is and how much He has done for us. We talk about the things we’re excited about. When that excitement wears off, will the version of us that people see move them closer to Jesus or farther away from Him? As it says in 1 Peter 3, we should always...

It’s our responsibility to know the truth of God’s word. God has expectations for us, and He’s given us the Bible for our guide.  We have been tasked with the single purpose of living our lives for Jesus. And when we stand before God, He will hold us accountable.  Times have changed. Friendships and loyalties are no longer reliable guides. And it’s not just about listening to everything that comes...

With nearly 80% of the unchurched believing we are in the last days we have to ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to share the Gospel. The world is coming unglued and still, only about 1% of Christians are sharing their faith. What can we do to ensure that more people find their way to Heaven when the trumpet sounds? We need to use the time we have left to tell our unsaved friends about the l...

Only 6% of Americans hold a biblical worldview. If that number is accurate, we have to ask ourselves, “Is it possible to be a Christian without a biblical worldview?” Isn’t belief enough? Even the demons in hell believe in God. It should be obvious to those around you that you are a Christian, and if it isn’t, you need to ask yourself why.    Since the pandemic, many people who consider themselves...

No matter what happens, you can’t lose real joy. And there is a difference between happiness and joy. You can be happy or unhappy, but still have joy in your life, even after suffering numerous trials. Barry shares how he’s dealt with setbacks and kept his faith intact.  When we live our lives with the purpose of helping more people get into Heaven, we automatically have joy. As God has called us...

We’ve all been called to preach the Gospel to the lost in this world — not just pastors or theologians. It’s a privilege and an honor God has given to those who believe, and we shouldn’t take it lightly! Join Barry as he talks with author and speaker Bill Wiese — whose 23 Minutes in Hell memoir has sold over 2 million copies to date — about the opportunities each of us has every day to “follow the...

Proverbs 3:5 says that we should trust in the Lord with all our hearts and that we should not lean on our own understanding. Yet, 80 percent of Christians are living in fear. They are forgetting to place their faith in God and not in what they are seeing in the world around them.  To live with joy, you need love the Lord with all your heart and to love yourself. When you do that, you will destroy...

Evangelism is not just for pastors. John 4:37 says, “…In this matter of kingdom harvest, everyone has a job to do.” Whether you’re in line at the grocery store or waiting at an appointment, in every conversation you have, you become the physical manifestation of God. To engage in the sacrament of evangelism, you must take every opportunity to share the love of Christ —YOU are His messenger! Host B...

God wants us to share our faith at every opportunity. But some of us aren’t having any fun. We’re going through each day letting ourselves be overcome by worry and not enjoying the gifts that God has given us. When we live this way, we are in danger of having spiritual atrophy.  In James 1:22, we’re instructed to be “doers of the Word and not merely hearers..." If we’re not putting our faith...

Often, we go through our lives just doing the things we need to do to survive. We sometimes fail to recognize opportunities to minister that are right under our noses. At some point, we may ask God if He means for us to stop what we are doing so that we can better serve Him. His answer may surprise us as we are likely already right where He needs us to be. Romans 8:28 tells us that, “…in all thing...

Has the message gotten lost? Somewhere between the watchmen on the wall in the book of Ezekiel and last Sunday’s sermon, we’ve left out the message of salvation that is supposed to warn the lost about the enemy. As Christians, we need to be sharing our faith and one day, God will undoubtedly hold us accountable. If the church and the pastor aren’t equipping the church for ministry, what are they d...

There are days when it seems like nothing goes according to plan. But we must realize that there is always a reason behind these momentary snags and delays—there are no coincidences. Barry discusses how to connect the dots and see the opportunities in our disappointments. When things don’t work out the way we expected, God sends opportunities to share our faith with others. Each day, we’re present...

Living biblically in today’s world is not easy. COVID-19 and cancel culture are just two examples of how God’s people are facing more choices — to obey God and His Word or to compromise with the culture. Be challenged by Barry’s discussion with Pastor Jack Hibbs as they talk about what it means to be discerning as a believer. Now more than ever, we must change our world around us by living for God...
