As we hit the halfway mark of 2025, we’re spotlighting the top 3 most viewed episodes of the year and this one takes the #3 spot. In this episode, Tina Waldrom speaks with Karen Workentin, Dean of Rhema Bible Training College Australia, about the power and challenges of street evangelism. She explains how a relational approach to evangelism, rather than a scripted or confrontational method, can create meaningful faith conversations. Through real-life stories, Karen illustrates how simple, authentic interactions can lead to life-changing encounters with Jesus. The conversation also explores the scepticism some people have about church evangelism, often due to past negative experiences.
Acts of kindness, a listening ear, and a willingness to meet people in their everyday lives can open doors for gospel conversations. Karen encourages believers to overcome personal fears and recognise that evangelism is not just for pastors or trained leaders, it’s a calling for everyone. This episode serves as an inspiring reminder that church evangelism, when done with love and authenticity, can bring people closer to Christ in ways we might never expect.

Street evangelism can be effective when approached relationally.
Scepticism about street evangelism often stems from negative experiences.
Sensitivity, love, and supernatural guidance play a key role in winning souls through evangelism.

The guests highlight that effective outreach doesn’t have to be flashy, it just needs to be heartfelt and rooted in the love of Christ.

Rather than relying only on traditional methods, churches are invited to explore fresh ways to connect with people where they are.

Discussion Questions
1. Are you actively "going" into your community, or waiting for people to come to you?
Phil Smith referenced Luke 10 as the foundation for community engagement. Jesus sends His disciples into the towns. Evangelism starts with a posture of movement, not waiting. What does “going” look like in your neighborhood, workplace, or local setting?
READ: “Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.” — Luke 10:3 (NIV)
 
2. Who are the "people of peace" in your life that God might be calling you to connect with?
Phil spoke of putting your feet under the table and listening. These people of peace are often doorways into broader ministry opportunities. Can you identify someone who is open to relationship or spiritual conversation? How can you go deeper?
READ: “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them.” — Luke 10:5–6 (NIV)
 
3. How does your rhythm of life reflect the values of “belong, eat, listen, learn, and serve”?
Which of these five rhythms are you living out regularly? Which need more intentionality?READ: “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” — Romans 12:13 (NIV)
4. How might sharing a meal become a setting for sharing Jesus?
“Dinner Church” was more than a meal—it was fellowship, openness, and organic ministry. Could you use meals as a setting for spiritual conversations? Who might you invite to your table?
READ: “They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.” — Acts 2:46–47 (NIV)
5. Are you replicating what you talk about, or what you actually do?
In what areas might your lifestyle need to align more with your message of faith?
READ: “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 11:1 (NIV)
6. What simple acts of service could open the door to spiritual conversations in your neighborhood?
What are some everyday needs in your community you could help meet?
READ: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
 
7. How has God uniquely gifted your church (or you personally) to meet the needs of your community?
What passions, skills, or resources do you have that God might use to serve and reach your community?
READ: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace.” — 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

How Community Engagement and Evangelism Work Together

In this episode, Tina Waldrom dives into how community engagement and evangelism work together by speaking with three experienced leaders—Phil Smith, Scott Hawkins, and Marcus Watson. Each of them shares down-to-earth advice on how churches can build genuine relationships with the people in their local areas. They talk about the power of simply showing up, being present, and keeping things uncomplicated. Instead of waiting for big moments, these leaders encourage trying new things, even if they don’t always go to plan—because that’s how meaningful growth happens in both faith and outreach.
The conversation is a practical and inspiring reminder that evangelism isn’t just about preaching; it’s about loving your neighbour and meeting real needs. Tina and her guests challenge listeners to take a fresh look at their church’s role in the community. Are we making space for connection? Are we listening and learning from the people around us? This episode will help you see how small, intentional actions can open big doors for sharing Jesus. If you've ever wondered how community engagement and evangelism work together, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and plenty of ideas to start where you are.
 
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
Church should model radical simplicity in community engagement.
Presence in the community is essential before preaching.
Church work and community work should not be separated.
Engaging with local pain points is crucial for effective outreach.
Church leaders should reflect on their community impact regularly.
Churches should embrace their neighbourhoods as primary mission fields.

4. Are we, as a small group or church, serving more than we’re spending on ourselves?
Review your time, energy, and finances. How much is being invested outwardly toward your community?
Read:
📖 Acts 20:35 — “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
William Temple: “The church is the only society that exists for the benefit of those who are not its members.”
5. Am I willing to take risks, even fail, in order to follow the Holy Spirit into new areas of mission?
What “safe” patterns in my life or church need to be let go so I can step out in faith?
Read:
📖 Isaiah 43:19 — “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
Marcus Watson: “Failure can be a gift... The church must risk and even fail as it follows the Holy Spirit out of its walls and into the world.”
 
6. What would change if we saw our neighbourhood as our primary mission field?
What does it mean for your group or church to be the light, not just look polished? What practical steps could you take this week to begin?

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.

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.”

Read: Romans 2:4 – “God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.
