What should a pastor do when his church resists change, criticizes his approach to evangelism, or simply refuses to share the gospel personally?
In Part 3 of our conversation about a listener's email, George Binoka and Jeff Musgrave discuss the challenges pastors face when trying to cultivate a culture of personal evangelism. From handling criticism and navigating the familiar objection, "We've never done it that way before," to overcoming discouragement when ministry efforts seem fruitless, this conversation offers practical biblical wisdom for church leaders.
George and Jeff explore why adding more evangelism programs isn't necessarily the answer, why lasting change begins with the heart, and how pastors can lead with both humility and conviction. Rather than trying to change an entire congregation overnight, Jeff encourages pastors to start with one willing partner, pray together for someone to reach, and begin making disciples one person at a time.
They also address the importance of measuring ministry by biblical faithfulness rather than numbers alone, continuing to innovate, taking risks for the gospel, and trusting God's timing when results are slow to come.
Whether you're a pastor feeling discouraged, a church leader navigating resistance, or a Christian who wants to encourage your pastor and become more effective in evangelism, this episode will remind you to stay faithful, keep praying, and keep laboring in the harvest.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How pastors should respond to criticism about evangelism methods.
Why personal evangelism matters more than simply adding programs.
How to lead church members toward change without alienating them.
Why one-on-one discipleship can help transform a church's culture.
How to remain faithful when ministry results are slow.
Why pastors should keep innovating and taking risks for the gospel.
How church members can encourage and pray for their pastors.

Stay in the fight. Keep praying. Keep reaching people with the gospel.

Deep Down, You Already Know. In Romans 1:18–32, the Apostle Paul confronts one of humanity’s greatest problems: suppressing the truth of God. The problem isn’t always that we don’t know the truth, but that we refuse to acknowledge it. When we continually reject God’s truth, we exchange it for lies, justify our sin, and gradually harden our hearts to His voice. What we call freedom may actually be bondage, and what we celebrate as progress may be evidence of a culture that has turned its back on God.
But there is good news! Being given over to sin is not the same as being given up on by God! Through Jesus Christ, forgiveness, transformation, and restoration are still possible. In this powerful message from our Getting Real with God series, we’re challenged to examine our own hearts and confront the truths we’ve been trying to bury. The question is simple: How long can you suppress what you already know? Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart! (Hebrews 3:15, ESV)
