He engages with ordinary fishermen and tells them that His purpose for their lives is to connect with lost people and to introduce them to the Good News of Christ. That’s His call for all of us. It should be simple but sharing your faith in today’s culture can be difficult because there are a lot of people who don’t agree with what we believe. The message of Christ can be confrontational sometimes. And that’s okay. We need to continue to affirm what Scripture says. As believers, we’re called to overcome the fear of sharing the message of the Gospel. In our conversation with twin brothers David and Jason Benham, we unpack some ideas to help you do that. Find inspiration for sharing your faith in everyday life by watching the Focus on the Family episode, “Sharing Your Faith With Boldness.” Also, I had the pleasure of visiting the Governor’s Mansion in Texas for our broadcast earlier this week. Governor Greg Abbott, John Fuller and I covered a lot of ground that you won’t want to miss, ranging from Governor Abbott’s commitment to nightly prayer, to adoption, critical race theory, and the border crisis. We also talked about the Texas “Heartbeat Bill” being heard at the United States Supreme Court this week. Take a moment to get to know the humble man leading the world’s ninth largest economy, in this episode of Focus on the Family. I hope you’ll join me in Governor Abbott’s prayer for God’s grace, guidance, and wisdom this week, not only over the events unfolding in Texas, but over your own family. God bless you!
