This season at Compel, we have been remembering why we share the Gospel story. What motivates us to share Christ with the world? We have looked at how His love compels us and how knowing God’s purpose motivates us. Today we are going to be answering the question, “Is God’s Word really the source of truth? Can we trust it?” 

Andrea Thom, a Canadian author and Bible teacher, shares how we know the Bible is reliable and trustworthy, and briefly on how we got the Bible. We hope you find this conversation as encouraging as we did!

2 Peter 1:21

Psalms 119:3

Psalm 119:89

This fall we are taking some time to zoom out and talk about the “why” behind missions. What motivates us to spread the Gospel story? Last week we talked about how the love of Christ compels us to action. If you missed that episode, I encourage you to go back and listen. It’s a foundational episode for this series. This week we are talking with Lindsay Campbell from Word of Life Bible Institute about purpose. What did God save us for? What is God’s purpose? And, subsequently, what is our purpose?

"Where ever you are at, remember that knowing Christ is one of your main purposes."

Welcome back to season three of the Compel podcast. This episode Michelle Beeksma and I are gathering round to chat briefly about why it is so important to know the gospel message and share it with others—and also what is going to keep us motivated to do these things. We walk through 2 Corinthians 5:15-21 and apply these biblical principles to our lives today.
