The WIN WIN Evangelism Podcast

From Church Growth to City Health: Rethinking Evangelism

Evangelism can sometimes feel like a pressure to grow church attendance, but what if the focus was bigger than that? In this episode, Tina Waldrom sits down with Tim O’Neill, Executive Director of Exponential Australia, to explore a powerful shift in thinking and moving from church growth to city health. Instead of asking how churches can get people into buildings, Tim challenges believers to ask how the church can bring the love of Jesus into the everyday life of a city.
Together they unpack how evangelism flourishes when churches focus on relationships, cooperation and community impact. From micro-churches to innovative ministry models, Tim shares practical insights about reaching people where they are and helping them discover a genuine relationship with Christ. If you want to grow in confidence in evangelism and rethink how your church can bless its community, this conversation will inspire you to see the bigger mission of God at work in your city.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
City health can reshape how churches approach mission.
Church success is more than attendance and finances.
Different church models reach different people.
Micro-churches can reach those avoiding traditional services.
Churches can partner together to transform a city.
Programs open doors, but relationships lead people to Jesus.
Church systems should support outward mission.
The early church model shows the power of community impact.
Serving the community often leads to church growth.
A city-focused vision strengthens evangelism.

Discussion Questions1. What does it mean to move from “church growth” to “city health” in our approach to evangelism? How might focusing on the wellbeing of your city change the way you think about sharing your faith?Read: Acts 2:47 “And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” 2. How can love for your community become the starting point for evangelism? Jesus said people would recognise His followers through love. In what ways can you demonstrate that love where you live?Read: John 13:34–35 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”3. In what ways might traditional church structures limit our evangelism? Are there new or creative expressions of church that could reach people who might never attend a Sunday service?Read: Matthew 28:19 “Go and make disciples of all nations.” 
 
4. How can relationships open doors for meaningful evangelism? Think about people in your life who don’t know Jesus. What simple steps could you take to deepen those relationships?Read: Galatians 6:2 “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.”5. What systems or habits in your church help people move outward into the community? Tim O’Neill suggests that systems shape behaviour. Do your church rhythms encourage outward mission or mainly inward activity?Read: James 2:17 Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” 6. How can Christians serve their communities while still sharing the good news of Jesus? Why is it important that acts of service and the message of the gospel go hand in hand?Read: Matthew 5:16 “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” 7.

Research shows that over a million Australians don’t personally know a Christian. How could you make yourself more intentionally present in your local community, like joining clubs, volunteering, or building friendships? What might “relational evangelism” look like for you?Read: Matthew 5: 14-164. In a culture that distrusts institutions, people are searching for realness.

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.

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.
