Ignite with Barry Meguiar

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...

Jesus didn’t say, “Go and pray.” He didn’t say, “Go and read your Bible.” No . . . Jesus said, “Go and tell.” It’s not hard to do when you’re cultivating a deep relationship with Him. God not only orchestrates our lives, He recruits those He wants us to share our faith with. Learn more from Barry and his special guest Pastor Jack Hibbs about telling others about Jesus without fear. Because when yo...

The persecution of Christians right now is out of control. More Christians were martyred for their faith this last year than ever before in the history of the world. But people still want to know God loves them. He is calling us to share our faith, and when we do the world will know us by our love. That’s why we can’t stop taking advantage of every opportunity to move everyone every day closer to...

It’s incredible to think that you can have intimacy with God. He made us in His own image, He loves us, and He wants us to spend eternity with Him. Experiencing God’s love causes us to live for His purpose. And when you live for His purpose, you can’t wait to tell others about Him . . . because He is your first love! This is how God wants us to live our entire lives as Christians. Hear more about...

Religion is man’s attempt to earn God’s favor. But that’s absurd, because it’s just not possible. It doesn’t matter what you do — going to church 365 days a year, reading your Bible every day, or even praying every day won’t put you at the front of the line. They’re all good things, but they won’t change your heart. Only God can save you, and He is checking your heart. Be encouraged to check yours...

A powerful message to Christians living in fear is that sharing your faith ignites your joy.  There’s nothing more thrilling than knowing God just orchestrated a conversation and gave you the words to say, that changed a life in front of you. Find out more about how God’s joy can be yours — even in the midst of your problems — and how your joy will remain full. Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and...

You can spend your entire life searching the scriptures for your “life’s purpose,” and never find it because all of us are called to live our lives for God’s purpose, to seek and save the lost . . . to move everyone, every day, closer to Jesus. Hear more about living in this promise and in the favor of God. Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and businessman who hosted the popular TV show, Car Crazy,...

Jesus said, they will know that you’re His disciple by your love, not by your speaking skills or your ability to recite a script.  Staying in your comfort zone of loving on people allows the Holy Spirit to work according to His time schedule. Learn from Barry’s example of how he let God speak through him for 50 years to his friend Jack and kept showing him God’s love.   Host Barry Meguiar is a car...

One of the great misconceptions of faith sharing is the expectation that everyone comes to the Lord with one conversation. That’s the polar opposite of reality – and the Parable of the Sower whose seeds often land on hard ground. Without knowing where people are on their spiritual journey, your job is to simply move everyone, every day, closer to Jesus. Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and business...

Life is so much easier when you do it God’s way! It’s called faith! Without faith, it’s impossible to please God because without faith you worry and when you worry -  you’re telling God, “I don’t trust you." In stark contrast, trusting God obliterates worry and your faith allows God to take you above and beyond anything you could ever ask for or imagine. But how do you get there? Host Barry M...

No matter where people are in their lives or what their struggles are, no one gets mad at you for telling them God loves them! They may not agree, and some may even argue, but never out of anger. It’s more bewilderment! After all they’ve done in their lives to upset God, it’s all but impossible for them to believe God loves them. And you get to tell them! Host Barry Meguiar is a car guy and busine...

We’re the only hope for 80% of our population who are unchurched nonbelievers. With only 1% of Christians sharing their faith, how are they going to know God loves them unless we (you) tell them? 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! Learn more about Barry at Ignite...

We’re reaping the consequences of turning our backs on God and becoming a post-Christian nation. The only hope for America is turning our hearts back to God! The farther away we are from Him, the more we’ll have chaos in our world. But when we get back to God — and lead others to the Lord — we can ignite revival in our nation. Listen in and be encouraged to share your faith! Host Barry Meguiar is...

Living our lives for God’s purpose includes sharing our faith — and that can happen anywhere! Be inspired by Barry’s story that started with asking his waitress at Cracker Barrel if he could pray for her — and ended up with Barry getting connected to another father who had lost his daughter. One polishes cars, and the other hauls cattle. But in Christ, they are the same. You almost won’t believe t...
