No Regrets Leadership Podcast

In this episode of the No Regrets Podcast, Steve Sonderman and Greg Stier dive into practical ways to introduce Jesus into everyday conversations. How can you take a casual chat about sports and turn it into a meaningful dialogue about faith? Greg shares tools, resources, and encouragement for having gospel-centered conversations that inspire and equip others to follow Christ. Greg emphasizes the importance of being trained, equipped, and mobilized to share the gospel with the next generation. With 80% of people coming to Christ before the age of 18, Greg and Steve discuss how to effectively reach students and disciple them to reach others. They provide insights into evangelism, including how to engage in conversations with grace: ask questions, admire others, admit your own need for Jesus, and share your story. Instead of presenting a rehearsed speech, they encourage listeners to have genuine, gospel-focused conversations. Greg also highlights free curriculum and resources for youth pastors, parents, and grandparents, including the Dare 2 Share website and the Life in 6 Words app. These tools offer practical ways to teach small groups to share the gospel and carve out time for prayer, care, and sharing Christ with others. Greg will be speaking at the upcoming No Regrets Conference, giving two impactful talks: "How to Live Radically Like Christ" and "How to Navigate a Gospel Conversation."
