Share Life Today

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Have you heard this beautiful chapter before?

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Have you heard of the Ten Commandments? Well, you can read this famous passage in Exodus 20.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Have you ever thought, "I just don't know if I can make it into Heaven?"

Now if that sounds like really bad news...

As we continue our series, “The Real Real,” this week, I want to ask you…what do you think real righteousness is?

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. What's your biggest fear? For some, it's spiders, or the dark, or falling from a high place. But for Christians, there is a great fear in sharing our faith. For some, they just don’t know where to start. Others are afraid of facing difficult questions or simply rejection. You know, we’...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. The night the tree fell on her house, June was afraid; but her greatest fear was that she would not be good enough to get into Heaven.

Are you afraid that people won't take the time to have a Gospel conversation with you?

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. As we continue our series called “The Real Real,” let me ask you…what do you think a real fear of God is?

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. I’m sure you’re not surprised to hear that we’re more likely to share our faith with others when we’re feeling encouraged in our own lives. So, I’d like to share a dose of spiritual encouragement from the Bible that centers on the phrase “fix your eyes.” Where? And on Whom? Well, the t...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Have you ever started a conversation with someone, and the person turned away or looked at their watch?

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Do you care about the lost? The truth is for many of us, we don't; or at least not like we should. We would never say it, but our priorities and lives reveal it. We make very little time in our schedules to interact with others, especially those who don't know Jesus. We may even have s...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Do you want to really be stretched in your faith? Ask God to give you His eyes for other people. And He’ll answer that prayer and begin to break your heart for what breaks His. And there is nothing dearer to Christ's heart than people. He created each of us uniquely and for a purpose!...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. As we continue our series, “The Real Real,” today, I want to ask the question…what is real sight?

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Many of us remember singing these words, perhaps as little children in Sunday School: “This little light of mine; I’m gonna let it shine. Hide it under a bushel? No! I’m gonna let it shine.” Those simple lyrics carry a powerful Biblical truth. In Isaiah 60:1, God calls His people to ac...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. The Bible ends with a powerful picture of hope. In Revelation 21:23, we’re told that in the new heaven and new earth, there will be no need for the sun or the moon, because the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. For those who trust in Jesus Christ, this is our futur...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. The same God who spoke light into existence is still at work today.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. The Bible tells us in Colossians 1:13 that God “rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son.” That’s not just poetic language. It’s a rescue story.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Many people are searching for direction, unsure which way to go.

Through His death on the cross...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Revelation 12:11 says that we will defeat the enemy by “the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.” That kind of power shouldn't be hidden—your story should be shared boldly! Jesus will use it as you tell of His goodness and love to those around you. This is exactly what’s ha...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. To begin to love your neighbor as yourself, you need to ask something very important: what love is! The Bible tells us, "This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." That kind of true love is unconditional, sacrificia...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Romans 5:10 says “For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Here’s a question: what are you known for? Jesus says in John 13:35, "By this all people will know that you’re my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Over and over again, the Bible urges us to love one another. After all, it is the Father's love that compelled Him to make a w...

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. What is real love? Now, that’s the question that all of humanity has wrestled with. You see, we all need love. In fact, we’re made for it! When God created man and woman, He did so in His own image, and He declared it good. And the Bible tells us over and over about the Father’s love f...
