    When I Took a Homeless Woman to Church

    What if the interruption you didn't plan for was actually the moment God had planned all along? In this episode, Tina Waldrom thought she knew exactly how her Sunday morning would unfold: grab a coffee, head across the road to church and enjoy the service. Then a homeless woman asked her to buy a caramel Frappuccino. One simple request led to breakfast, an unexpected invitation to church and four words Tina couldn't forget: “I've given up on hope.” What happened next became a powerful lesson about evangelism, compassion and noticing the person God has placed right in front of you. In this deeply personal episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina explores what it means to become interruptible and allow the love of Jesus to move beyond words into practical action. From making someone feel welcome at church to providing a safe shoulder to sleep on, this story challenges the idea that evangelism always needs to begin with the perfect gospel conversation. Sometimes it begins with a coffee, a meal, learning someone's name or simply making room. You may not be able to change the whole world, but you can love the person God puts in your path and that ordinary act of kindness might become one of the holiest moments of your week. In this podcast episode, you will discover about: The importance of compassion in faith practice How small acts can have a profound impact The role of the church in serving the marginalized Jesus' example of reaching out to the outcast The significance of hope in Christian life The power of unexpected moments in ministry The connection between kindness and spiritual growth And more…   WATCH THIS SHORT VIDEO: LOVE IS NEVER JUST SOMETHING WE SAY, IT BECOMES SOMETHING WE DO  *SUPPORT THIS PODCAST – BUY ME A COFFEE – MORE INFORMATION HERE.   *OUR ONLINE LEARNING & COURSES Share Jesus Membership On Mission with God @Home (free sample) On Mission with God @Home (Full Course Details) 3 Day Evangelism Challenge    *OTHER PODCAST EPISODES LINKED TO THIS The Homeless Man Who Changed my Night with Tina Waldrom How Evangelism and Social Justice Work Together with Tina Waldrom Sharing the Gospel in a Secular Australia (with Tina Waldrom) The Stats for Effective Evangelism with Mark McCrindle Why are So Many Australians Turning Away From Christianity and What Can We Do About It?

Are you interruptible when God puts someone in your path? How do you normally respond when someone interrupts your plans? Could some of the interruptions in your life actually be invitations from God? Read: Luke 18:35-43; Mark 5:21-34 2. Do people who are far from God feel safe around you? One striking observation from the episode is that people who were rejected or overlooked by society often felt comfortable approaching Jesus. Tina asks an important question: Do people still feel that way around us as Christians? Read: Luke 15:1-2; Matthew 9:10-13 3. Are you listening for the story underneath someone's words? When people talk to you, are you listening for opportunities to understand what's really happening in their lives? How could listening more carefully create natural opportunities for evangelism? Read: Romans 15:13; 1 Peter 3:15 4. Does your evangelism demonstrate the gospel as well as explain it?  Is your understanding of evangelism mainly about what you say? How could practical compassion make your conversations about Jesus more credible? Read: 1 John 3:16-18; James 2:14-17 5. Would someone who feels ashamed feel welcome in your church?  If someone experiencing homelessness, addiction, poverty or another difficult circumstance walked into your church this Sunday, how would they experience your community? What could you personally do to help them feel seen, valued and welcomed? Read: Romans 15:7; James 2:1-4 6. Are you waiting to do everything instead of doing something? Have you ever avoided helping because the problem seemed too large? How could changing your thinking from “I can't do everything” to “I can do something” transform your approach to evangelism? Read: Luke 10:30–37; Galatians 6:9-10 7. Could one small act of kindness help someone rediscover hope? Who has God already placed in your life who might need hope? What is one practical act of kindness you could offer them this week? Read: Matthew 25:35-40; Proverbs 19:17; Matthew 5:16

    The Homeless Man Who Changed my Night with Tina Waldrom

    What if one of the greatest opportunities for evangelism came disguised as an interruption? In this deeply personal episode, Tina Waldrom shares the unforgettable story of an ordinary holiday evening that became an extraordinary encounter with God. What began as a quiet dinner and a spectacular fireworks display quickly turned into a life-changing lesson about noticing the people Jesus notices. Through one simple act of kindness towards a homeless man, Tina discovered that the Holy Spirit often speaks through gentle promptings, inviting us to step beyond our comfort and reflect the compassion of Christ. This episode is a powerful reminder that evangelism isn't always about preaching a sermon or having all the right words. Often, it begins with seeing the person in front of us, responding with love, and trusting God with the outcome. As Tina reflects on Scripture and her own experience, you'll be encouraged to slow down, listen to God's voice, and embrace the everyday opportunities He gives you to demonstrate His love. If you long to grow in compassionate, authentic evangelism, this conversation will inspire you to see people and yourself through the eyes of Jesus. In this podcast episode, you will discover about: The Holy Spirit's gentle prompting to notice others Jesus' example of noticing and helping marginalized people The significance of calling people by their names Acts of kindness as expressions of faith The connection between worship and social justice The impact of small acts on spiritual growth Scriptural insights on caring for the least of these The importance of dignity in service And more… *SUPPORT THIS PODCAST – BUY ME A COFFEE – MORE INFORMATION HERE.   *OUR ONLINE LEARNING & COURSES Share Jesus Membership On Mission with God @Home (free sample) On Mission with God @Home (Full Course Details) 3 Day Evangelism Challenge    *OTHER PODCAST EPISODES LINKED TO THIS How Evangelism and Social Justice Work Together with Tina Waldrom Sharing the Gospel in a Secular Australia (with Tina Waldrom) The Stats for Effective Evangelism with Mark McCrindle Why are So Many Australians Turning Away From Christianity and What Can We Do About It?

Tina describes how she couldn't stop noticing the homeless man, realising it wasn't guilt but the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit. Evangelism often begins when we're willing to notice what God is drawing our attention to. Read: John 10:27; Galatians 5:25 2. Who are the people that Jesus wants you to notice? Who in your everyday life may be feeling overlooked or invisible? How could God be inviting you to notice them this week? Read: Matthew 9:36; Luke 19:1-10 3. What small act of obedience is God asking you to take? Do you ever hesitate because you feel you can't do enough? What small act of kindness could you take this week that points someone towards God's love? Read: James 2:14-17; Zechariah 4:10 4. Do you see people's problems, or do you see people? Everything changed when Tina stopped seeing "a homeless man" and instead saw a person created in the image of God. Every individual has value because they bear God's image. How easy is it to label people rather than truly see them? How might seeing people as God sees them change your approach to evangelism? Read: Genesis 1:27; Isaiah 43:1 5. Are you serving others without expecting anything in return? Why can it be tempting to expect something back after we've helped someone? How can you demonstrate Christ's love through quiet acts of generosity? Read: Matthew 6:1-4; Philippians 2:3-8 6. Who is really transformed when we show compassion? While the homeless man received one meal, Tina realised that God had transformed her own heart. Evangelism doesn't just impact the people we serve. It changes us too.  Can you think of a time when serving someone changed your own heart? What does this teach you about God's purpose in acts of compassion? Read: Matthew 25:35-40; Proverbs 19:17 7. What "fireworks" might be distracting you from people? The beautiful evening could easily have distracted Tina from noticing the person sitting nearby. We too can become so occupied with our own plans that we miss the people God places in front of us. What distractions make it difficult for you to notice people in need? How can you become more intentional about living a lifestyle of everyday evangelism? Read: 1 John 3:17-18; Hebrews 13:2

Does your life make people curious about Jesus? Would the people around you describe your faith as authentic? How could your everyday life point others towards Christ?

    How Do Christians Stay Confident in a World of AI, Islam & Woke Culture

    How can Christians stay confident in a world shaped by AI, Islam, secular thinking and rapidly changing cultural values? In this episode, Tina Waldrom  is joined by Rob Martin from Ideas Convention 2026 to explore why confidence is one of the greatest needs facing believers today. Together they unpack how Christians can engage culture without retreating from it, answer difficult questions with grace, and remain convinced that the message of Jesus is still the best news the world can hear. If you've ever felt uncertain about evangelism or wondered how to respond to today's biggest conversations, this episode will encourage and equip you. You'll discover why confidence isn't about having every answer, but about trusting the truth of the gospel and learning how to communicate it wisely. From understanding the rise of AI and Islam to navigating today's cultural pressures, this conversation offers practical tools to help you grow in confidence, strengthen your faith, and start talking about Jesus with the people God has already placed in your life.

What fears stop you from speaking about Jesus? Fear emerged as one of the biggest barriers to evangelism, whether it's fear of rejection, losing friendships, damaging your reputation, or even losing your job. Read: Matthew 28:18-20; Isaiah 41:10 3. Are you retreating from culture or engaging it with wisdom? Christians are called to engage the world around them rather than withdraw from it. How can we lovingly enter difficult conversations without compromising biblical truth? Read: Matthew 5:13-16; Colossians 4:5-6 4. How prepared are you to answer today's big questions? Whether it's AI, Islam, suffering or cultural issues, many people have genuine questions about Christianity. We don't need to know everything, but we should be growing in our understanding.

    Mid-Year Highlights #3 : Evangelism After Christendom (Reaching the Curious, Cautious & Cynical)

    It’s hard to believe we’re already at the halfway point of 2026, and we’re excited to kick off our Mid Year Highlights by counting down the top 3 most viewed episodes of the year! This episode takes the #3 spot. In this episode, Tina Waldrom sits down with Ger Jones, pastor of Vintage Church in Santa Monica, to explore how sharing faith is changing in a post-Christian culture. Drawing from his own journey through faith crisis, the marketplace, and ministry, Ger shares why empathy, safe environments, and authentic relationships are more important than ever when helping people explore Jesus today. This conversation is both deeply encouraging and incredibly practical. You’ll discover why evangelism is less about persuasion and more about helping people, why sowing seeds through love matters more than quick results, and how believers can become a “compelling curiosity” that draws others toward Christ. Whether you’re a church leader or an everyday Christian, this episode will help you approach evangelism with greater confidence, patience, and compassion. In this podcast episode, you will discover that: Ger Jones emphasises the importance of creating safe spaces for people to explore their faith without judgment. Empathy is crucial in understanding the struggles of non-Christians. Sowing seeds of faith is about loving people and building relationships, not just targeting them for conversion. The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in transforming hearts. Evangelism is a long game. In a secular culture, Christians must be a compelling curiosity by living out their faith authentically. Understanding the cultural context is essential for effective evangelism in different communities. Creating a welcoming environment is key. Churches need to design their communities around the exploration of faith for non-believers.
