One Minute Witness

Why do Christians talk about Jesus? Is it because we're trying to win arguments? Grow a church? Convince people we're right? We share our faith because we believe. We believe in the message. We believe in Jesus. We believe that what He did on the cross changes lives, forgives sin, restores hope, and transforms eternity. Nobody has to convince a person to talk about what they truly believe. We natu...

What if the greatest truth about heaven is that none of us could ever earn it? After weeks of talking about hell, eternity, urgency, judgment, and the posture of our hearts, the Emptying Hell series ends with the most important message of all — grace. Not earned. Not deserved. Not achieved through good works. Grace is the incredible gift of God given freely through Jesus Christ. While sin separate...

Why do we struggle so much with the idea of hell? Maybe because deep down, we compare ourselves to other people instead of comparing ourselves to a holy God. We think in terms of “good people” and “bad people,” while forgetting that every good thing we have is only because of God’s mercy and grace. Every good thing comes from Him. And eternity is shaped by what we believe about Jesus. In Part 4 of...

People are dying. Eternity is real. And the time to speak up is now. Too many believers live like there’s always more time. More time to invite. More time to share Jesus. More time to have the conversation. But every day, people step into eternity without hope. We cannot afford to be casual about what’s eternal. In Part 3 of the Emptying Hell series on The One Minute Witness Podcast, Tom Elie talk...

What happens when you ask artificial intelligence about hell? We asked AI about hell. Just straight up asked it what hell is, who goes there, and what the Bible says about it. The answers? They might surprise you! Not because they were wrong, but because it was unexpectedly right. In a world that's running from the topic of hell, it's worth paying attention when even a machine trained on the entir...

What if the most avoided topic in church is the one that matters most? There's a conversation most believers never have. Not because they don't believe it, but because they don't know what to do with it. Hell is all over Scripture. Jesus talked about it more than almost anyone. So why do we go quiet when it comes up? And here's the bigger question. If we really believe what the Bible says about et...

What if you've been wrong about healing? A lot of believers quietly carry the same assumption — that miracles were for Bible times, that healing was for then, not now. We trust God to save a soul for eternity… but struggle to believe He'd touch a body today. Does that add up? Imagine walking into every room, every conversation, every hospital visit believing that the same God who opened blind eyes...

What's the most neglected verse in the entire Bible? It's not hidden. It's not hard to find. In fact, you've probably read right past it dozens of times. But if believers actually lived this one verse out, it could change everything — your conversations, your relationships, and the way you share your faith. In this episode of The One Minute Witness Podcast, Tom Elie unpacks the verse most Christia...

What if the faith you've been keeping private is the very thing someone around you needs to hear? In this episode, Tom Elie gets honest about the gap between what we believe behind closed doors and what we're willing to say out loud. He talks about where the fear comes from, why it keeps so many believers silent, and why you were never designed to keep your faith to yourself. The One Minute Witnes...

What do you do when you've prayed and God didn't answer the way you hoped? Is He still enough? In this message, Tom Elie sits with one of the most honest questions a believer can ask and doesn't give you a tidy answer. He talks about what it really means to know God, not just know about Him, and shares from his own life the moments that shaped that knowing. The One Minute Witness Podcast with Tom...
