Voices of Fire - The Ultimate Social Justice and Evangelism Roundup

Tina Waldrom brings together insights from three guests who are passionate about living out the gospel through love and action in this social justice and evangelism roundup. Hear from Kim Hammond, Jon Owen and Rachel Dunwell as they explore the differences between biblical justice and the broader idea of social justice, helping listeners understand how Scripture calls Christians to restore what’s broken with mercy and truth. The conversation highlights that evangelism isn’t just about preaching—it’s also about stepping into people’s lives with compassion, kindness, and a willingness to meet real, practical needs.
This episode digs deep into what it looks like for the Church to be a place that not only shares the good news but also shows it through justice and advocacy. Whether it’s standing up for the vulnerable or creating safe spaces for the hurting, this social justice and evangelism roundup challenges believers to live with purpose. Listeners are encouraged to see justice as a central part of God’s heart, not just a side issue. As we open our hearts to those in need, we naturally create more meaningful opportunities to share our faith in ways that are real, relational, and deeply transformative.
 
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
Biblical justice is the heartbeat of God.
Social justice can be polarising but is essential to the gospel.
We need to educate ourselves about global injustices.
Compassion and fairness are central to biblical justice.
Meeting practical needs is crucial for sharing the gospel.
The church must embrace God's mandate for justice.
Creating safe spaces is vital for healing and connection.
And more…

Discussion Questions1. How does biblical justice differ from social justice, and why is that distinction important for Christians who want to share their faith?
Read: Micah 6:8 – “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”2. In what ways can the Church reframe justice as essential—not optional—for every believer's discipleship and mission?
Read: Isaiah 1:17 – “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.”3. How does the concept of shalom (peace/wholeness) reshape your understanding of evangelism and helping others experience the Kingdom of God?
Read: Jeremiah 29:7 – “Seek the peace (shalom) of the city… and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace.”4. Rachel Dunwell shared that a child in a brothel cannot hear the gospel until their basic needs are met. What does this say about the relationship between justice, compassion, and evangelism?
Read:  1 John 3:18 – “Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”
5. How might global awareness (e.g., through social media) be a tool God is using to stir His Church toward justice and evangelism?
Read: Proverbs 31:8-9 – “Open your mouth for the mute… defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
 
6. John Owen spoke of evangelism as an “interruption of grace.” How can you personally practice evangelism in a way that is full of love and fascination rather than force?
Read: Romans 2:4 – “God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance.”
7. Are you personally sent to engage in justice as part of your evangelistic witness? What’s one tangible step you can take this week?
Read: Matthew 25:35-36 – “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink... I was in prison and you came to me.”

How Evangelism and Social Justice Work Together with Tina Waldrom

In this episode, Tina Waldrom takes a closer look at how evangelism and social justice go hand in hand. Drawing from conversations with past guests – Kim Hammond, Jon Owen and Rachel Dunwell – she unpacks what it means to live out our faith in a world full of inequality and hurt. The episode highlights how sharing the good news isn’t just about words—it’s about action too. Evangelism becomes more powerful when it’s rooted in biblical justice and expressed through acts of compassion, kindness, and standing up for what’s right.
Listeners are invited to consider how they can play a personal role in addressing injustice while pointing people to Jesus. From speaking up for the vulnerable to serving those in need, evangelism can flourish when believers commit to living out the gospel with both truth and love. Tina reminds us that justice isn’t a side issue—it’s part of the heart of God. As we pursue justice in our everyday lives, we create more meaningful opportunities to share our faith in a way that’s authentic, relational, and deeply impactful.
 
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
Biblical justice is not an add-on to the gospel; it is the gospel.
Justice is about restoring what is broken with mercy.
Evangelism should create safe spaces for people.
Personal stories of trauma can lead to powerful advocacy.
The heart of God is for the oppressed and marginalised..
Justice and evangelism are not separate; they are intertwined.
And more…

Voices of Fire - The Ultimate Prophecy & Evangelism Roundup

In this episode, Tina Waldrom shares a recap covering three seasoned ministers about how the prophetic and evangelism go hand in hand. The group breaks down what it means to live a prophetic life—not just for those who carry the title of prophet, but for everyday believers who want to hear God’s voice and follow His lead. They share real-life stories that show how prophetic moments, no matter how small, can spark genuine conversations about faith. The episode encourages listeners to recognise the different ways God speaks to people and to develop the courage to act on what they hear, especially in everyday situations.
The episode also touches on the role of prophets today, explaining that they’re not just there to speak on behalf of God, but to help others hear Him more clearly. Tina highlights the need for the Church to evolve - especially after the changes brought on by COVID-19. Church structures may need to loosen control so that individuals are empowered to step into their calling. This prophecy and evangelism roundup challenges the Church to let go of outdated models and embrace a new season where Spirit-led evangelism is personal, powerful, and led by people willing to listen and respond to God’s voice.
 
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
The prophetic is one of the five spiritual gifts mentioned in scripture.
Everyone can live a prophetic life, not just those in the office of a prophet.
God speaks differently to different people, and we must recognise our unique ways of hearing.
Hearing God's voice often requires time and a willingness to pause.
Church structures may need to change to empower individuals for outreach.
COVID-19 has forced the church to reconsider its methods and mission.
The new era of the church may require relinquishing control and embracing change.

Reclaiming Evangelism and Why It Still Matters Today

Why is it so important to hold onto the word "evangelism" within the church? In this episode, Tina Waldrom talks about reclaiming evangelism. Over time, the term has picked up some negative baggage, often misunderstood or linked with pressure-filled or outdated methods. Tina challenges that thinking, reminding listeners that evangelism, at its heart, is simply about sharing good news. She explains that it’s something deeply relational, spiritual, and meant to be lived out in everyday life, not just in formal church settings or special events.
Tina also encourages believers to see evangelism as something we all can do, something that should reflect love, authenticity, and the hope we have in Christ. Rather than ditching the word altogether, she calls for a fresh understanding that fits today’s culture while staying true to its biblical roots. The episode wraps up with a powerful call to action: for Christians to embrace evangelism as a vital and joyful part of following Jesus. If you've ever felt unsure or uneasy about the term, this episode will inspire you to see it in a whole new light.
 
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
The word evangelism needs to be reclaimed, not abandoned.
Evangelism is about sharing good news, not pressure or performance.
The early church viewed evangelism as a core identity.
Evangelism should be relational and spirit-led.
Cultural awareness is essential in modern evangelism.
We risk losing clarity about our calling if we drop the word evangelism.
Evangelism is for everyone, not just pastors or extroverts.
The Great Commission remains unchanged: go and make disciples.
And more…

Why Some People Come to Jesus Quickly—and Others Don’t

In this episode, Tina Waldrom dives into the idea that everyone’s journey to faith looks different. She unpacks why some people come to Jesus quickly, while others take a bit more time. Tina reminds us that evangelism is not a one-size-fits-all process. She explains how we can better understand where someone is on their spiritual journey—and more importantly, how to walk alongside them patiently and with grace. Rather than being discouraged when things move slowly, she encourages us to see every small step as part of the bigger picture.
Tina also shares practical advice for staying motivated when our evangelism efforts don’t bring immediate results. She highlights the importance of consistency, genuine relationships, and celebrating even the smallest spiritual milestones. Evangelism, she says, is often a long-term investment, and it’s vital to stay engaged and hopeful throughout the process. Whether someone comes to Jesus quickly or over many years, our role is to be faithful, kind, and ready to share when the time is right. This episode is a helpful reminder that every journey matters—and that God works in people’s hearts in His own perfect timing.
 
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
Some people come to faith suddenly, while others take time.
Spiritual progress can be measured using the Engle scale.
Just because someone hasn't converted doesn't mean they're not growing.
Celebrate small wins in the spiritual journey of others.
Trust God's timing in the conversion process.
Focus on movement, not just decisions.
Stay consistent in showing love and care for those you're reaching out to.
Find support and accountability in your evangelism efforts.
Your witness matters, even if you don't see immediate results.
And more…

Mobilising Women to Heal Community Pain With Letitia Shelton

In this episode, Tina Waldrom chats with Letitia Shelton, founder of City Women Toowoomba, about why it's so important to mobilise women to help address the real pain and struggles happening in their local communities. Letitia shares her own experiences from Toowoomba, Australia, where she’s been working to bring hope and healing by encouraging women to step out and make a difference. She also talks about how this mission has now reached Fiji, showing that when women are empowered and churches work together, real change can happen. Their discussion reminds us that evangelism isn’t just about words—it’s about action, love, and being present in people’s lives.
Tina and Letitia point out that true evangelism means being committed to long-term community transformation, not just trying to boost church attendance numbers. Letitia emphasises that real impact happens when churches unite across denominations and believers stay focused on serving their neighbourhoods for the long haul. It’s not about quick results; it’s about faithfully showing up and building trust over time. Their conversation is a powerful reminder that living out the message of Jesus means rolling up our sleeves and being the hands and feet of Christ wherever we are.
 
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
Mobilising women into the community pain is essential.
Unity among churches can lead to a greater impact.
Women often feel the heart of their community.
Community transformation requires long-term commitment.
Listening to the community is crucial for effective outreach.
