Share Life Today

The Best Gift Ever

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
What do you think is the best gift ever? Well today, I want to share with you an opportunity we should not miss this holiday season as we prepare gifts for our family and friends—and that is the sharing about the life-changing, wonderful love of God. The Gospel is literally the best news ever! Having a relationship with Jesus brings us joy, peace, and a fulfilling life. So as you pick gifts to give, let me encourage you to add a card. And inside, share a verse, like Romans 5:8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." And then write a note about how God has changed your life. Say, "If you'd like to hear more, I'd love to share with you about how having a relationship with God has impacted my life!" And then end wishing them blessings and love. Let's be intentional over the holidays to give the best gift ever. For more, visit sharelife.today.

Demonstrate God's Love

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
As the holiday season rolls around, it can be daunting to think about hosting your family and friends. There’re invitations to go out, food to be prepared, the energy that gets expended through all the planning...and perhaps there’s even worries about the disagreements that can happen when people of different views come together. But if we are to follow the example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, this shouldn't discourage us. Jesus throughout all the Gospels was recorded sitting down with sinners and tax collectors and spending time with the outcast and the poor. Jesus is the epitome of a servant leader and friend of sinners. And as the holidays get closer, this is our opportunity to demonstrate God's love through hospitality and sharing the greatest news that will change lives for all eternity—the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So let's open our homes and start praying for opportunities. For resources, visit our website at sharelife.today.

Now is the Season to Share

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
The holiday season is here—the time for gratitude, joy, and connection. As we gather with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas, it’s also a time when hearts are softer and conversations go deeper. This is the season to share. God’s Word tells us in Second Corinthians six two (6:2), “Today is the day of salvation.” People all around us are searching for peace and meaning, and the message of Jesus—the One who came to bring hope to the world through His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead—is exactly what they need to hear. So this holiday season, look for those God-given moments to speak about His love. Share how Jesus has changed your life and invite others to experience that same joy. Because there’s no better time than now—the season of gratitude and grace—to share the Good News of the Gospel. For resources, visit sharelife.today.

The Gospel Can’t Be Stopped

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Rev. Shah Ahmadi with Iran Alive Ministry has seen persecution firsthand—but he’s also seen God’s unstoppable power. “Iran is against Christianity. This person is jail this year. So they are right now is really, you know, backing up because the, the number, this is exactly what we were talking about yesterday about power multiplication and be multiply. Even they touch us. They can't touch the generation. It's too late.” That’s the truth of the Gospel—Governments can try to put it out, but they can’t stop the Holy Spirit. When one believer is silenced, ten more rise to speak. So let’s take courage from our brothers and sisters in persecuted places. The Gospel is being shared in every corner of the world, and it can’t be stopped. So let’s join God in what He is doing in taking the Gospel to the nations, and share it with those around us.

When The Secret Police Listen In

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Rev. Shah Ahmadi with Iran Alive Ministry shares one unforgettable moment when the Gospel reached someone completely unexpected. “And I found out secret police is listening. It was too late, and I couldn't do anything. And I said, okay, sister, do one thing for me. I dunno what's gonna happen to you, but maybe this person is listening to, maybe this is God plan for him to listen. Let us to share Gospel. And I start weeping and crying. He's just, just the love of God came. I said, ‘Look, I don't know why you came on the, you know this, you know, God loves you. If you die, do you know where you're gonna go?’” Even when danger was close, Rev. Ahmadi chose faith over fear—and trusted that God could reach even the persecutor. That’s the courage God calls us to have—to love boldly and to share the Gospel, even when it costs something. To watch the full interview with Rev. Shah Ahmadi, visit our website sharelife.today.

Persecution and Power

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Rev. Shah Ahmadi with Iran Alive Ministry knows what it means to follow Jesus in difficult places. “Seems in the history opposite the places more persecution, God works, grows stronger. Seems persecution is a key. We see in the book of Acts. We see in China, we see in Iran, we see in Nepal, we see there…not just God Himself intervene. God works in a way supernaturally. And people, they lay down their life.” When the world tries to silence the Church, God makes it speak louder. In persecution, the Gospel doesn’t weaken. Believers who stand firm in their faith they know to be absolutely true inspire others to follow Jesus, no matter the cost. So whatever opposition you face today, remember—God’s work can’t be stopped. Let’s join Him in what He is doing and stand for Jesus and share the Gospel. To watch the full interview with Rev. Shah Ahmadi, visit sharelife.today.

One Church, One Mission

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Rev. Shah Ahmadi with Iran Alive Ministry reminds us that the Church of Jesus Christ is one family—united around the world in the mission of sharing the Gospel. “Share the Gospel and pray and just go and say, you are my brother. You are my sister. We are from same nation. But above from that, even when I'm not from same nation, we are children of God. We are saved by grace of God. Jesus died on the cross for us. Let's do together.” That’s what the body of Christ looks like—believers standing shoulder to shoulder across nations and languages, proclaiming the same Good News. Some face challenges and danger, yet they continue to share because they know that every person needs to hear what Jesus has done. We are one Church with one message and one mission: that the whole world might hear and know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. To watch the full interview with the Rev. Shah Ahmadi, visit sharelife.today.

Sow the Seed

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Rev. Shah Ahmadi with Iran Alive Ministry knows what it means to keep sharing Jesus—even when it’s hard. “That’s why I encourage many people: sow a seed of the Gospel. Don’t give up. It’s not about me and you; it’s about the power of the Gospel. And that is God’s work, not our works.” The results don’t depend on us. Our job is to tell others about Jesus—and trust God to bring the harvest. Even in the toughest places on earth, like Iran, the power of the Gospel is transforming lives. Maybe there’s someone in your life that seems closed off or uninterested. Keep praying, keep loving, and keep sharing. Because our efforts to share the Gospel and what Jesus has done for us on the cross is never a failure. Every Gospel conversation can be used for His glory and in the life of the person that you’re sharing with. For resources and to watch the full interview with Rev. Shah Ahmadi, visit sharelife.today.

Halloween and the Gospel

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Do your Halloween plans this evening involve the Gospel? As believers, we should try to do everything that we can to point people to the Gospel. Last year, my church held a big event on Halloween with more candy than you could count! It was open to the community so there was a huge crowd. The focus, however, was not on candy, though every child left with more than they could eat. The focus was the Gospel. Every child and parent heard a clear Gospel presentation and an invitation to accept Christ as Lord and Savior...all before they got to the candy and to the carnival attractions! And while your event may be different, the message can be the same. Be thinking about how you can share the hope you have tonight. Perhaps it starts with candy and leads to a Gospel conversation or perhaps an opportunity to share your testimony. Whatever it is, let your light shine! For more, visit sharelife.today.
