The Entrust Podcast

We can only know which method of sharing the Gospel is most comfortable to us by practice and repetition. Once we have a preferred method, we can start to learn the best way to call for a response.

Once we understand the message of the Gospel, it is time to dive into the method. There is no one method for sharing the Good News of Jesus. The best method is the one that makes us feel the most comfortable.

Prayer is important in the Christian life. Especially when it comes to evangelism. We should pray for guidance, empowering us to effectively share our faith and impact others positively. Additionally, it fosters a deeper connection with God's mission, aligning our hearts with His purpose to bring others into a relationship with Him.

If we want to evangelize properly, we must first have an understanding of the gospel. It is impossible to share about Jesus without knowing the gospel.

As Christians, we are called to evangelism. But why should we be motivated to do so? The more we understand Christ’s love for us, the more we will want to share it with others.

The task of evangelism is an expectation of all followers of Jesus, but few of us feel comfortable in undertaking it. We must understand the foundation of evangelism if we are to prioritize it in our lives. 

Piedmont Women's Center exists to help women with unexpected pregnancies choose life and receive help. Listen to Martie Spurgeon discuss the way to address abortion in our culture and in the lives of those around us.

Jesus single-handedly altered the course of history and is the most influential person who ever lived. As a homeless teacher, His ministry emerged from obscurity to a worldwide impact based on uncommon humility and power.

Leaders will experience no shortage of conflicts when they try to make a difference. It’s not a matter of if crises will come but how we will respond when we encounter them. 

Ambitious yet isolated individuals will not advance Kingdom work. Jesus’ plan to reach the world hinges on our ability to pass lessons and provide opportunities to those behind us. 

We can easily miss leadership opportunities due to perceived inabilities. We must maintain that conviction that God will give us what we need to accomplish what He has called us to do.

A position may grant you the right to give orders, but a true leader is one who diligently works alongside others. Your example lived in front of others will be the most remarkable leadership lesson you could ever teach. 

The dismal state of the world can cause a leader to question if positive change is even possible. We must lead with integrity and intentionality no matter how dark this culture becomes.

Failures will either sideline us from future usefulness or motivate us for current development. We will make mistakes, but we don’t have to let them define us.

The world characterizes leaders as those who have achieved so much that others serve them; the Word surprisingly teaches that the best leaders are the humblest of servants. Humility distinguishes authentic leadership.

While many churches desire to send missionaries to the field, few are prepared to support those they send out. Supporting missionaries includes more than simply writing checks – it requires ongoing prayer, encouragement, and connection.

We desire to be more than a mission-minded church; we want to be a mission-guided church. If we are not careful, we will miss opportunities for missional endeavors because of dangerous distractions. 

While Scripture does not provide us with a prescriptive plan for how churches should be planted, it does provide us with sufficient guidance to carry out the Missionary Task.

As we think about missions, one important and sometimes neglected aspect of missions is urban missions. Urban missions focus on the cities of the world. 

As we undertake the Great Commission, we will share the gospel with people firmly convinced of another religion’s claims. Discover the differences between the major world religions and how the Word interacts with them. 

We often strategize ways to impact international fields with the gospel, but Western culture is also in great need. Understanding this mission field is necessary as we seek to engage the people around us.

While each individual Christian must take personal responsibility for Kingdom activity, the Great Commission is not to be accomplished alone. Missions mobilization should be ingrained in the DNA of each healthy local church.

The gospel transcends all cultures, but we must be aware of the context in which we share it worldwide. Dr. Allen McWhite teaches the importance of contextualization in missions.

Throughout the years, Christianity has struggled to maintain the proper balance of sharing both the gospel and compassion. As followers of Jesus, we are called to display His kindness in both word and deed.

We misreport history and misrepresent reality when we consider Christianity a Western religion. The Church is a worldwide phenomenon with trends that will surprise the observant.

Since every nation and every tribe has not heard the good news, the mission of God presses forward with our approaches and methods to Christian Missions under careful evaluation.

History is HIStory. It begins and ends with God. However, it involves God’s people as they respond to His Commission to “make disciples of all peoples.” Over time, God’s people have responded differently to this commission, with obvious varying results.

Mission originates and culminates with God. It is His work, not ours. We are not called to bring our mission into a local context; instead we are called to partner with God in His mission.

The Bible does not contain missional sections; the Bible itself is a missional book. The overarching narrative of Scripture depicts a God going to a lost world with the hope of the gospel.

As followers of Jesus, our mission is to make disciples of all nations. Discover the redemptive plan of God and His expectation for how you are to be involved.

There's a new name. A new logo. What's happening? We're so glad you asked. Hear what God is doing through the Entrust Institute and our plans for the coming year.

God is willing and able to address us in our difficult circumstances. In this course, Travis Satterfield talks about the importance of knowing God through the suffering of life.

Remember that doubts, like many difficulties in life, are opportunities to know God more. In this course, Travis Satterfield talks about the importance of knowing God.

God does not simply call us to know things about Him; He calls us into an interactive relationship with Him – to know Him. In this course, Travis Satterfield talks about the importance of knowing God.

There is coming a day when Jesus will declare the eternal state for every person. What Jesus will do with us then depends on what we do with Him now.

Scripture is clear that a severe period of Tribulation will impact the earth before the end. People disagree on the presence of Christians on the earth during that time.

Christians believe Christ will return but disagree on how His return will progress. An understanding of the coming millennium is essential to how someone will interpret this concept.

Jesus expects a local church to do their part in carrying out the Great Commission. Our activities, when we gather together, should originate from His call on our lives.

Since a local church is a body instead of a building, certain necessary distinctives must be present. To have a biblical church, we cannot ignore biblical requirements.

We will never understand what the Church should do until we know what the Church actually is. The Church is the people of God united for the purposes of God.

The chance of losing salvation depends on whose work it is ultimately. While we could undeniably fumble, God is entirely faithful.

Many people have attempted to reconcile God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility, but the Bible never claims them to be at odds with one another. Discover the biblical approach for salvation regarding God’s part and our involvement.

Salvation is a major tenet of Christianity while many aspects of it are debated within the Church. Without a biblical description of our salvation, we are in danger of sharing a faith of which we do not understand.

While Scripture is clear on the work of the Holy Spirit, Christians have debated specific roles based on assumptions or experiences. We must be careful not to alter His role to fit our expectations.

Many Christians know the Holy Spirit exists but are unsure what He actually does. Join us as we study the Scriptures to discover His pivotal roles in our lives.

The role of the Holy Spirit is essential in the life of the Christian, yet we often neglect Him to our detriment. Once we know who the Holy Spirit is, we will better understand the power He brings into our lives.

The study of God is the essential discipline to get accurate during our lifetimes. This course will study four significant doctrines: pneumatology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology.

As individuals and as a church, we desire to steward our resources to the best of our ability for God's work in our lifetimes and beyond. In this session, hear how you can conduct personal estate planning at a reduction of the cost and how you can set up your will to ensure that a portion of your resources are invested in Kingdom causes.

As our society continually explores and emphasizes sexual variations, the Church must consider staying faithful to God’s Word while remaining loving to all people. As representatives of Jesus, we must display grace and truth to our closest relationships and the culture at large.
