Summer Hits 2025 #2 How God Tried To Reach Me: Lachlan Shipard’s Journey with Jesus

Another summer is here, and Evangelism in Australia is introducing its top 5 most popular episodes of 2025. This is #2.
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom sits down with Lachlan Shipard to hear his remarkable journey from a self-focused lifestyle of drugs, alcohol, and quick fixes to discovering lasting hope in Jesus. Lachlan openly shares the emptiness he faced even after making big life changes, and the unexpected moment when he sensed God calling him to reach out. His honesty and vulnerability give us a fresh perspective on how God draws people to Himself in surprising ways.
Tina and Lachlan explore what it means to share your faith in everyday life, not through pressure or perfection, but by living authentically and pointing others to Christ. This conversation highlights the heart of evangelism and apologetics—answering real questions, walking patiently with people, and allowing your own story to testify to the goodness of God. Whether you’re new to sharing your faith or looking for encouragement to keep going, this episode will inspire you to step out with courage and compassion.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
Lachlan's life was filled with partying and substance abuse before finding faith.
Lachlan moved to different locations seeking change, but continued his old habits.
A breakdown can lead to a moment of clarity.
Understanding Jesus became clearer through personal study and community support.
Sharing personal stories is vital in evangelism.
Actions often speak louder than words in demonstrating faith.

Discussion Questions1. Lachlan shared that before Christ, he tried to fill the void in his life with parties, drugs, money, and relationships. What are some common “quick fixes” people turn to today instead of God?
Read: John 4:13-14  “Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
 
2. Lachlan described a turning point when he realised he had to stop blaming others and take responsibility for his life. How does taking ownership of our own sin open the door for God’s grace?
Read: James 1:14–15  “but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”
 
3. Lachlan said he became “miserably happy”, he cleaned up his life but still felt empty until he encountered Jesus. Why do you think self-improvement alone cannot replace salvation?Read: Ephesians 2:8–9  “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.”
 
4. Lachlan’s conversion began with a thought: “Reach out to Me.” How has God drawn you (or people you know) to Himself, sometimes unexpectedly?Read: John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
 
5. When Lachlan first became a Christian, he zealously gave out Bibles and told everyone about Jesus. Have you ever been overzealous in sharing your faith? How can we balance boldness with wisdom and grace?Read: Colossians 4:5–6  “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”6. Lachlan learned that people are often reached more by watching how Christians live than by what we say. In what specific ways can your daily life shine Christ’s light to those around you?Read: Matthew 5:14–16  “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
7. If you had only two minutes to share with someone what Jesus has done in your life (as Lachlan suggests), what would you say? How can your story of Jesus’ work in your life become a bridge to evangelism?
Read & Reflect: Acts 22:6–10 About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, “Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?”
“Who are you, Lord?” I asked.
“I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,” He replied. My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of Him who was speaking to me.
“What shall I do, Lord?” I asked.
“ Get up,” the Lord said, “and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.”

Summer Hits 2025 #3 How Is God Speaking to Those Who Don’t Know Him?

Another summer is here, and Evangelism in Australia is introducing its top 5 most popular episodes of 2025. This is #3.
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom interviews Dr Tania Harris, founding director of God Conversations, for a fascinating and hope-filled discussion on the question, “How Is God Speaking to Those Who Don’t Know Him?” Together, they explore how the Holy Spirit is already at work beyond the walls of the Church and among people who might describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” Drawing from real-life stories, including powerful encounters where people have experienced dreams and visions of Jesus, Tania and Tina unpack how God continues to reveal Himself to seekers in unexpected ways, from the Middle East to modern-day Australia.
This conversation will change how you think about evangelism. Rather than seeing it as bringing God to others, Tania invites listeners to consider that God is already speaking. Our role is to recognise where He’s at work and join in. The episode unpacks what this means for everyday believers: how to discern spiritual openness, how to listen with humility, and how to share faith naturally and sensitively. Whether you’re part of a local church, leading a small group, or simply walking alongside friends who don’t yet believe, this episode offers fresh insight into what it truly means to partner with the Spirit in helping others encounter Jesus.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
God is already speaking to those who are seeking Him.
The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in evangelism.
Recognizing spiritual seekers can change our approach to outreach.
People often reject religion but are open to spirituality.
Evangelism should be a partnership with the Holy Spirit.
Openness and humility are key to hearing God's voice.
We should look for opportunities to engage in spiritual conversations.
The church's role is to walk alongside seekers, not coerce them.
Understanding the cultural context is vital for effective evangelism.
Sharing personal experiences can create meaningful connections.

Discussion Questions1. How do you recognise that God is already at work in someone’s life before you begin to share your faith?Read: Acts 8:26–40 (Philip and the Ethiopian official)2. How can stories of God speaking to non-believers, like Aisha’s vision of Jesus, shape your confidence in evangelism?Read: John 6:443.

How can humility and a childlike heart help you better hear God’s voice and notice His activity in others?Read: Matthew 18:3–45. When might silence, empathy, or simple friendship be more powerful than words in your witness?Read: James 1:19–206. How can your church shift from “bringing God to people” toward joining what the Spirit is already doing in the community?Read: John 16:7–87. What does it look like to “sojourn” with people spiritually? Walking beside them rather than trying to convert them quickly?Read: 1 Peter 3:15–16

Summer Hits 2025 #5 Bringing the Gospel to the Jewish Community with Lawrence Hirsch

Another summer is here, and Evangelism in Australia is introducing its top 5 most popular episodes of 2025. This is #5.
In this episode, Tina Waldrom has a heartfelt conversation with Rabbi Lawrence Hirsch about the importance of bringing the Gospel to the Jewish Community. Rabbi Lawrence opens up about his personal journey to faith, giving listeners a glimpse into the unique challenges that Jewish people face when considering Jesus as the Messiah. He also takes time to share the historical background of Jewish-Christian relations, helping Christians better understand the sensitivities that still exist today. His story highlights both the struggles and the hope that come with following Christ, while holding on to the rich heritage of Jewish identity.
The discussion goes deeper into what evangelism looks like in this context, stressing the need for Christians to approach Jewish people with gentleness, humility, and respect. Rabbi Lawrence explains that sharing the gospel isn’t about stripping away Jewishness, but rather about showing how faith in Jesus fulfills the promises of Scripture. For churches and believers today, this episode is a valuable reminder that evangelism requires cultural awareness and genuine love, especially when reaching out to communities with such deep spiritual and historical roots.
 
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:

The importance of recognising Jesus' Jewish identity in evangelism.
Christianity has deep Jewish roots that should be acknowledged.
Many Jewish people feel betrayed when someone converts to Christianity.
Outreach to the Jewish community should emphasise continuity, not conversion.
Historical tensions between Christians and Jews impact current relationships.
Love and support for Jewish people are crucial in today's climate.

Discussion Questions1. How does remembering that Jesus Himself was Jewish shape the way we share the Gospel with Jewish people and with anyone?
Read: Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
 
2. Rabbi Lawrence shared how his brother used Isaiah 53 without revealing the passage, and he immediately recognised Jesus in it. What role should the Old Testament/Tanakh play in our evangelism conversations?
Read: Isaiah 53:5  “But he was pierced for our transgressions…”
 
3. Jewish people often feel that believing in Jesus means “rejecting” their Jewish identity. How can we, as Christians, communicate that following Jesus is not about abandoning culture or heritage but about fulfilling God’s promises?
Read: Matthew 5:17  “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
 
4. Lawrence mentioned his mother felt “betrayed” when he came to faith. How should we sensitively approach conversations with people who may see accepting Jesus as disloyalty to family, culture, or tradition?
Read: Luke 14:26  “If anyone comes to me and does not hate their father and mother… yes, even their own life, such a person cannot be my disciple.” (to wrestle with the cost of discipleship and relational tensions)
 
5. The history of Christian persecution of Jews is a massive barrier in evangelism. How can acknowledging past wrongs and showing humility open doors for Gospel conversations today?
Read: Romans 11:18 “Do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.”
 
6. Lawrence described evangelism as not inviting Jews to “become Christians” but showing them that Jesus is their Messiah. How could this paradigm shift change the way you share your faith with anyone?
Read:  John 4:22  “You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.”
 
7. Lawrence and his wife Louise both came to faith within hours of each other on opposite sides of the world  - a testimony of God’s sovereign timing. How can stories like this encourage us to trust God’s timing in our evangelism efforts?
Read: 1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”

Prayer, Tina reminds us, is key. Praying before gatherings helps believers rely on the Holy Spirit to guide their words and create opportunities for connection.

How to Share Prophetically at Christmas with Tina Waldrom

Christmas is one of the most spiritually open times of the year. In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom unpacks how to share prophetically at Christmas in a way that feels gentle, natural and full of grace. Instead of dramatic moments or lofty language, Tina explains how New Testament prophecy is really about tuning into God’s heart for someone and passing on a simple word of encouragement. She talks about Christmas as a “thin space” and a season when people are more reflective, tender and quietly asking deeper questions. 
You’ll learn a simple three step flow. Tina offers everyday examples from cafés, neighbourhoods and Christmas gatherings, showing just how accessible prophetic encouragement can be when we keep our language normal and our posture kind.
