Episode 9: “Disciple-Makers in a Digital World” 📖 2 Timothy 2:2; Colossians 4:5–6 Teaching Focus: Use digital platforms to build up, not tear down. Social media can be a tool for truth, encouragement, and witness.

Episode 5: “Evangelism in Everyday Life” 📖 Romans 10:13–15; 1 Peter 3:15 Teaching Focus: You don’t need a pulpit to preach—you need a willing heart.

📖 Matthew 28:18-20 (AMP) 18 Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything that I ha...

Scriptures: Revelation 2:4–5; Jeremiah 2:2–3 Teaching Focus: Call back the hearts that have grown cold. Remind believers that God wants relationship, not just ritual. Revival starts with rekindled love for Jesus. Practical Application: Lead a moment of rededication. Ask listeners to schedule a quiet time this week for intimate worship and reflection.

Episode 9: God’s Standard for Relationships Scriptures: Matthew 22:37–40; 1 John 4:7–8 Teaching Focus: Love is the greatest commandment.

Practical Application: Challenge listeners to forgive someone or restore a strained relationship in obedience to God’s Word.

Scriptures: Deuteronomy 28:1–2; James 1:22 Teaching Focus: God honors obedience, not just lip service. Blessings follow when we do what God says. Challenge passive faith that hears but does not act.

Episode 7: Righteousness Exalts a Nation Scriptures: Proverbs 14:34; Amos 5:24 Teaching Focus: God’s standard is justice and righteousness.

Correct without condemning. Build bridges, not barriers. Practical Application: Practice one conversation this week where truth is spoken with love and humility. 

Teach repentance as more than apology—it’s a lifestyle of turning away from sin and toward God. God invites us to return to Him and promises restoration. Practical Application: Lead a moment of reflection and prayer for repentance. Invite personal journaling of areas needing change.

Jesus overcame temptation by using the Word. We must do the same. Highlight the importance of Scripture memorization and meditation. Show how compromise starts when we neglect the Word.
