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 Questions

1. 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.”
