The conversation dives into practical steps for making this happen. Tina talks about how important it is to be patient and trust God’s timing as we share the gospel with others.

By focusing on reaching 5 in ‘25, listeners are reminded that small, consistent efforts can lead to big impacts in spreading the message of Jesus and growing God’s Kingdom. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Evangelism starts with prayer and intentionality Building genuine connections is key Your personal story matters Consistency is crucial Faith-sharing is a journey And more… Discussion Questions Who are the five people God is placing on your heart this year? Reflect on your current relationships—family, friends, coworkers, or neighbours—who don't yet know Jesus. Write their names down and commit to praying for them regularly. Scripture Reference: Colossians 4:2-3 - "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message." How can you build genuine connections with these five people? Consider ways to intentionally connect with each person at least once a month—whether through a text, coffee, or a walk. How can you show up and listen more than you speak? Scripture Reference: 1 Thessalonians 2:8 - "Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well." In what ways can you serve your five with kindness and love? Think about small acts of service that demonstrate God's love in action—helping with errands, offering a thoughtful gift, or simply being there in times of need. How can you reflect Christ’s heart through your actions? Scripture Reference: Galatians 5:13 - "Serve one another humbly in love." What part of your story can you share naturally to point others to Jesus? Identify moments in your life where your faith has made a difference. How can you share these experiences authentically and briefly without feeling pressured to have a dramatic testimony? Scripture Reference: 1 Peter 3:15 - "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." How can you invite your five to explore faith in a way that feels natural and comfortable for them? Are there creative ways to introduce spiritual conversations—perhaps through a book, podcast, or a casual gathering? How can you create a safe space for them to explore? Scripture Reference: Matthew 5:16 - "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." How can you be attentive to opportunities God provides for deeper conversations? Are you recognising moments when people open up about personal struggles or questions? How can you be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading in these moments? Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:15-16 - "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." How will you reflect, follow up, and adjust your approach as the year progresses? Consider how your five are responding to your efforts. Are they becoming more open or still hesitant? How can you remain patient and adjust your approach with grace? Scripture Reference: 2 Timothy 4:2 - "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction." *SUPPORT THIS PODCAST – BUY ME A COFFEE – MORE INFORMATION HERE. *OUR ON
