You Don't "Do" Witnessing — You ARE a Witness

Jesus didn't say "go do witnessing." He said "you will be my witnesses." That's identity, not just activity — and once you see the difference, it changes how you walk through every Monday.In this episode of the Evangelism Is Easy Podcast, Pastor Chris Donald continues the Mindset Series with the distinction most of us have missed: we don't do witnessing — we are witnesses.He unpacks what it means to be a witness (Luke 24:48), the light of the world (Matthew 5:14), and an ambassador for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20) — and why event-based witnessing has quietly given us permission to be off-duty the rest of the week.You'll hear two real stories — a man named Season at Target who'd been praying to find a church, and a staff member at Party City who realized the cashier in front of her was ready for Jesus — and a challenge that will reframe your entire week:Not "will I get a chance to witness today?" — but "what will people witness in my life today?"CHAPTERS00:00 — You don't choose whether people are watching00:27 — Welcome to the Mindset Series01:11 — Identity vs. activity01:41 — The problem with event-based witnessing03:00 — Foundation #1: You are a witness04:49 — Foundation #2: You are the light of the world06:25 — "Same Chris in every setting"07:56 — Foundation #3: You are an ambassador09:14 — "If the Holy Spirit had absolute control of my life…"11:11 — The man at Target13:13 — Party City: the staffer who got it mid-errand14:33 — The 7-day witness test16:36 — Your challenge for the week—EQUIP THE BELIEVER.

3 Simple Ways God Speaks to You | Words of Knowledge Explained

You've probably already heard God's voice — and didn't recognize it Most believers think hearing God requires some dramatic spiritual experience. It doesn't. In this episode of the Evangelism is Easy Podcast, we break down 3 simple, natural ways God speaks through words of knowledge — and how to actually recognize them in your everyday life. If you've ever felt blocked from hearing God, or thought it was only for pastors and prophets, this episode is going to change that. The Bible says we have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). That means hearing God is way simpler than religion made it seem. We cover: — Reminders: When God keeps bringing a person or thing to your mind — Physical Sensations: When you feel something in your body for someone else — Random Thoughts: When a word or image drops in out of nowhere Plus real stories of words of knowledge happening at restaurants, on airplanes, in shopping malls, at gas stations, and on the streets of Stockholm, Sweden.

The Devil Believes in Jesus Too

The devil believes every fact about Jesus -- so what actually separates his belief from yours? The answer might change how you see your entire faith.In this episode, you'll discover why the Greek word for "faith" is closer to "allegiance" than mental agreement -- and why that distinction changes everything about how you follow Jesus.In this episode of Evangelism Is Easy, Ps Chris Donald sits down with Brady Rector -- Bible Nerd Out host, ministry school co-leader, and a man whose radical obedience story will wreck you in the best way. They unpack the difference between intellectual belief and true surrender, why the church has swung between legalism and easy believism, and what it actually looks like to give your full allegiance to Jesus as King.📖 Scriptures Referenced:- John 10 (Jesus is the door/gate)- John 3 (born again)- Matthew 7:21-23 ("Depart from me, I never knew you")- Galatians 5 (flesh vs. spirit)- The Pharisees -- searching scriptures but missing Jesus🔗 Connect With 33rd Company:🌐 Website: https://33rdcompany.org📱 Instagram: https://instagram.com/33rdcompany📲 Text "SEND ME" to get connected🎧 Listen wherever you get podcasts📚 Resources Mentioned:- Bible Nerd Out (Brady Rector's podcast/YouTube)- School of Evangelism -- 33rd Company- Belong Fort Worth -- Thursday gatherings⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 — The devil believes everything you believe1:39 — Welcome to Evangelism Is Easy2:50 — Knowing about someone vs. knowing them3:51 — Why believing facts isn't enough4:59 — The life preserver analogy5:46 — Brady's testimony: deconstruction to radical faith6:58 — Jesus rebukes the Pharisees7:47 — The door analogy (John 10)9:16 — What is salvation?

Platform or People? What Jesus Actually Modeled in Evangelism | Evangelism Is Easy Ep 8

Welcome to the Evangelism Is Easy Podcast, where we equip everyday believers to boldly share their faith and make disciples as a way of life—not just a ministry strategy.In this episode, Pastor Chris sits down with Mike Gailes and Wells Brazda for an honest and convicting conversation about discipleship, faithfulness, and stewarding influence without losing sight of the one. Wells opens with a question he asks many evangelists: “Who is one person you’re discipling right now?”—a question that often exposes the tension between building a platform and tending to people’s hearts. This episode leans into the both/and: reaching the masses while remaining faithful to the individual.Together, they challenge the idea that discipleship must be complicated or programmatic. Instead, discipleship is framed as family—organic, relational, and rooted in love. As Mike explains, the anointing isn’t found in striving or scale, but in genuine passion for people. Wells also shares personal testimony from his own journey, highlighting how discipleship shaped his life and ministry from the ground up.The discussion closes with practical insight for evangelists and leaders whose ministries are growing, but who want discipleship to remain close, personal, and sustainable.In this episode, we cover:Why platform should never replace personal discipleshipThe “Burden of the One” and how Jesus modeled it (Luke 15:3–7)How prayer, outreach, and discipleship fuel long-term faithfulnessWhy discipleship works best when it feels like familyHow we often overcomplicate what Jesus made simpleWhy the anointing flows from love for people, not performancePractical steps to keep discipleship relational as ministry growsAction Step:Ask the Holy Spirit, “What’s one place this week where I know God is asking me to step out?”Give Him your yes—and let us know in the comments how it goes.Resources and Links:Get equipped to share your faith: www.33rdcompany.orgConnect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/33rdcompany33rdCompany YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thirtythirdcompany33rdCompany Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/33rdcompany/If you want to be equipped to share your faith and make disciples, text SEND ME to 59090.

If Sharing the Gospel Feels Hard, This Video Will Change That - Evangelism is Easy Ep 7 | With Pastor Chris Donald

Welcome to the Evangelism Is Easy Podcast, where we equip everyday believers to boldly share their faith and make disciples in their daily lives.In this episode, Pastor Chris Donald brings clarity and freedom to the message of the gospel—reminding believers that the gospel is truly good news, not a message of condemnation, pressure, or fear. This conversation reframes evangelism as an overflow of relationship, not religious performance, and challenges listeners to share the Jesus they have experienced, not just the Jesus they’ve learned about.Pastor Chris unpacks why effective evangelism begins with understanding and articulating the gospel clearly. This episode confronts the misconception that the gospel starts with condemnation and instead returns to the heart of Jesus: not to condemn the world, but to save it. Through John 3, 1 John, and Acts, Pastor Chris explains why believers are called to witness from personal encounter, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and why clarity is key when sharing the gospel.In this episode, we cover:Why the gospel is genuinely good newsHow to preach people out of condemnation and into lifeWhat John 3:17 reveals about the heart of GodWhy we share the Jesus we’ve experienced, not a textbook versionWhat it means to be a Spirit-empowered witness (Acts 1:8)A testimony from Brazil that highlights the power of clear gospel communicationWhy every believer must be able to articulate the gospel simplyEquipping + Practical Ways to Share the Gospel: Pastor Chris provides simple, everyday tools to help believers confidently share their faith, including:Sharing your personal testimony of how Jesus changed your lifeAsking permission before sharing the gospel to create openness and trustUsing two simple gospel questions from John 3 to guide conversationsKeeping the message centered on Jesus, not religion or debateRelying on the Holy Spirit rather than perfect wordingInviting people into relationship, not just a momentAction Step:Ask the Holy Spirit, “What’s one place this week where I know God is asking me to step out?”Give Him your yes—and let us know in the comments how it goes.Resources and Links:Get equipped to share your faith: www.33rdcompany.orgConnect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/33rdcompany33rdCompany YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thirtythirdcompany33rdCompany Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/33rdcompany/If you want to be equipped to share your faith and make disciples, text SEND ME to 59090.

Why Fear Isn’t Just an Emotion - Evangelism is Easy Ep 6 | With Pastor Chris Donald

Welcome to the Evangelism Is Easy Podcast, where we equip everyday believers to boldly share their faith and make disciples in their daily lives.In this episode, Pastor Chris Donald delivers a bold and faith-filled teaching on fear—what it really is, why it shows up when we step into obedience, and how God wants to use it as an invitation to crush hell. This message confronts the lie that fear disqualifies believers from evangelism and exposes the spiritual reality behind intimidation, hesitation, and silence.Pastor Chris unpacks why fear isn’t merely emotional, but spiritual, pointing to Scripture to reveal that God did not give us a spirit of fear—but of power, love, and self-control. From everyday encounters to stepping onto the grounds of a mosque in Iraq, he testifies to how the Comforter meets believers the moment they choose obedience.This episode reframes fear not as a warning to retreat, but as a signal that heaven is moving and hell is panicking—because the more you go, the more you grow.In this episode, we cover:Why fear is not just a feeling—it’s spiritualWhat 2 Timothy 1:7 reveals about the true source of fearWhy believers often feel fear right at the moment of obedienceHow Romans 8:11 reframes confidence in evangelismWhy fear is an invitation to crush hell, not back downTestimonies of stepping out—from everyday moments to a mosque in IraqWhy Satan is more afraid of obedient believers than they are of himAction Step:Ask the Holy Spirit, “What’s one place this week where I know God is asking me to step out?”Give Him your yes—and let us know in the comments how it goes.Resources and Links:Get equipped to share your faith: www.33rdcompany.orgConnect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/33rdcompany33rdCompany YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thirtythirdcompany33rdCompany Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/33rdcompany/If you want to be equipped to share your faith and make disciples, text SEND ME to 59090.
