  • Ep. 330 - Answering Tough Questions About Christianity
    Ray, Mark, and Oscar answer listener questions during a live Q&A, with Oscar appreciating the unfiltered nature of the discussion. When asked about the hardest questions to answer, Mark admits it's when he doesn’t know the answer and pretends he does. Ray recalls struggling with a man’s question about why God let his wife suffer before she died. On increasing laborers in evangelism, they stress the importance of pastors sharing their own experiences and making evangelism part of the church’s cultural DNA. Changing a church’s culture starts by finding a few passionate people and letting their enthusiasm spread.Ray finds some evangelism encounters easier than others, often using the fear of death to gauge receptiveness. Oscar relates better to former atheists but struggles with cultural Christians. When considering missionary work abroad, they advise starting by evangelizing at home before seeking an overseas calling. The guys discuss pro-life vs. abolitionist views, with Mark arguing that being pro-life includes abolitionist principles—protecting life at all stages. The conversation shifts to Christian YouTube channels, with Oscar warning that notoriety can be dangerous. He urges potential creators to examine their hearts and build a foundation in ministry first. On where we go after death, Oscar believes we immediately enter heaven, though views on the specifics vary.Turning to the topic of evangelism burnout, Ray advises pacing yourself and staying spiritually filled, while Oscar highlights Psalm 51, where David prays for the restoration of joy. To start witnessing conversations, Ray asks people about life after death, which he finds universally engaging. The discussion moves to ethical consumerism, with Mark sharing his struggle with boycotting certain companies while Oscar warns against complete detachment from culture. A Christian woman waiting for a godly man is encouraged to pursue God wholeheartedly rather than idolizing marriage. Mark's favorite verse is John 17:3, while Ray favors Proverbs 19:23, and Oscar holds onto Romans 8:39. Their favorite quotes range from Charles Spurgeon to J.R. Packer’s thoughts on adoption as the greatest gift of the gospel. Should Christians should read the Quran? The guys caution against it unless one is called to reach Muslims, emphasizing the importance of knowing the Bible deeply. For witnessing to Mormons, the guys advise focusing on the gospel and defining terms clearly since Mormonism often uses Christian language with different meanings.Send us a textThanks for listening!

  • Ep. 329 - Discipling the Next Generation
    Dr. Jeff Myers, President of Summit Ministries, joins Ray, Mark, and Oscar to discuss discipling the next generation. Oscar shares that Gen Z is the least religious generation but not due to atheism; instead, they wrestle with faith, loneliness, and purpose. They are more inclined to listen to Jordan Peterson than Richard Dawkins, revealing a hunger for something greater than what the world offers. Unfortunately, many churches have responded poorly by focusing on superficial changes instead of addressing deeper needs, leading some young people to seek transcendent experiences in liturgical churches. True discipleship involves welcoming young people into genuine community and guiding them toward a sense of purpose and connection.Jeff emphasized the importance of creating spaces where hard questions can be asked without judgment. Ministries like Summit and Living Waters equip Christians to address these questions with grace, focusing on connecting people to Christ as the ultimate truth. Christianity uniquely bridges the gap between humanity and God, offering answers to life’s deepest questions.Discipleship today should mirror biblical discipleship, where Jesus lived and worked alongside His followers. It’s about inviting others into daily life, asking and answering questions, and modeling faith authentically. In a time when many pastors fall publicly, seeing faith lived out in a genuine way is transformative. Jeff encourages older Christians to step up as mentors, reminding us that discipleship doesn’t require advanced theological knowledge—just a willingness to guide others in their faith journey. For those seeking mentors, Jeff advises identifying areas of need and praying for God to connect you with people who can help. This approach builds a network of mentors and fosters intergenerational relationships within the church. Oscar highlights the importance of vulnerability, sharing how one of his mentors asked for forgiveness, profoundly shaping his faith. Discipleship involves displaying humility and continually pointing others to Christ.Jeff shared about Summit Ministries’ impact, particularly through its two-week programs where students learn from top Christian experts across various fields. These experiences equip students to discern truth, identify and turn from bad ideas, and recognize that everything in life falls under the lordship of Jesus Christ. By fostering this understanding, Summit sets young people on a path toward spiritual freedom and a deeper connection with God.Send us a textThanks for listening!

  • Gen Z’s Spirituality. Finding an Older Mentor. Fear of Mortality - Highlight Episode 329
    Dr. Jeff Myers highlights the need for authentic discipleship that meets Gen Z’s deep spiritual hunger by fostering real community, encouraging open discussions, and guiding young people toward Christ as the ultimate truth. Unlike past generations, Gen Z is not drawn to atheism but instead struggles with faith, loneliness, and purpose, seeking something more meaningful than what the world offers. Unfortunately, many churches have responded with superficial changes rather than true discipleship, causing some young people to turn to liturgical traditions for a sense of transcendence. Myers emphasizes that discipleship should reflect Jesus’ model—living life alongside others, asking and answering questions, and displaying faith authentically, especially in an era when many Christian leaders fail publicly. He encourages mentorship, advising individuals to identify areas of need and seek guidance from those more experienced in faith and life. Vulnerability is key in discipleship, as demonstrated when Oscar’s mentor profoundly impacted him by asking for forgiveness, showing the power of humility. Summit Ministries plays a role in equipping young believers through curriculum and immersive programs, connecting students with top Christian experts who help them develop a Christ-centered worldview. By teaching young people to discern truth, reject harmful ideologies, and embrace faith as an all-encompassing reality, Summit empowers them to live boldly for Christ and impact the world.Send us a textThanks for listening!

  • Ep. 328 - E.Z.'s Crazy Testimony
    E.Z. shares a powerful testimony of transformation through God’s grace. Born in Lebanon, his life nearly ended before it began, as his mother attempted to abort him but was stopped by her doctor. In 1980, Emeal moved to America, where he struggled to adjust. Unable to speak much English, he faced challenges in school, frequently fought, and stole, leading to a troubled childhood. Raised in a culturally Catholic home, he sought to reform himself after his first Holy Communion at eight years old but remained a practical atheist, living a life far from God.In high school, Emeal succumbed to peer pressure. Elected freshman class president, he was expelled for bad behavior and later joined one of the most notorious gangs in the United States for acceptance and belonging. His life spiraled further out of control, leading to expulsion from another school and self-harm. Despite knowing something was missing, he clung to sin, believing he lacked the power to change.One night, while still entrenched in his old life, Emeal reluctantly attended an evangelistic event. There, the worship and message touched his heart. Hearing the gospel of grace for the first time, he realized salvation was a free gift. Overwhelmed, he surrendered to Christ, and his life was instantly transformed. Burdens lifted, Emeal became a new man, and his joy was undeniable. He confessed his sins to his family and began living for Christ, leaving behind his rap career, gang ties, and sinful habits.Emeal’s new found faith brought dramatic change. Once an angry and rebellious teenager, he became gracious and forgiving. He returned to school, excelled academically, and led Bible studies, using every opportunity to glorify God. His zeal for evangelism grew, leading him to connect with Ray Comfort, whose ministry inspired him. This connection sparked a new chapter in Emeal’s life, eventually leading to his leadership at Living Waters ministry. God also blessed Emeal with a wife. After praying for a partner to comfort him following the passing of his mother, he met Rachel, Ray Comfort’s daughter, and knew she was the one. They fell in love, married, and have since celebrated 27 years together with children and grandchildren.Today, Emeal reflects on God’s incredible work in his life. From a rebellious youth to a leader in ministry, his story is a testimony to God’s grace and power. Emeal sees it as an honor to serve as an ambassador for Christ, using his story to inspire others and glorify God. Send us a textThanks for listening!
