In this powerful hospital-room episode, Jonathan “JP” Pokluda (Lead Pastor, Harris Creek Baptist Church) unpacks how to share the gospel clearly—grace, not works—and why the door to evangelism is wide open right now.

From nurses and techs praying to receive Christ to a simple “1–10 certainty” question and JP’s unforgettable “tickets to the game” grace analogy, you’ll get practical, biblical tools to start conversations (“Do you have a faith?”), connect your story to the Cross, and lovingly bring people to a decision about Jesus (Eph 2:8–9; Rom 10:9; Jn 3:16). JP also shares a transparent health update (post-infectious myelitis) and how to walk in spiritual authority amid warfare—plus a call to pray and fast.

Key Highlights

Grace vs. works—why salvation is a gift (Ephesians 2:8–9)
The “1–10” evangelism framework (Evangelism Explosion) that opens hearts
The “tickets to the Mavs” illustration that makes grace unforgettable
How to pivot any convo: “Can I ask you a question—do you have a faith?”
Tell your testimony → connect it to the Cross (don’t stop short)
Celebrate sharing; God does the saving (1 Cor 3:6–7)
Spiritual warfare & authority (Eph 6; 1 Jn 4:4) without fear
Workplace as mission field—be excellent at your craft and share Jesus
JP’s health update and a corporate call to prayer & fasting

If you’ve wanted to share your faith but felt unsure or awkward, this episode gives you clear language, Scripture, and confidence to do it with love and boldness.
