Mission Finder Podcast #72
Hosts: Andrew Michael Arroyo & Don Nava
Our call to share faith and lead others to Christ remains at the heart of our purpose. In this episode, we explore the metaphor of fishing—how “prospecting for souls” mirrors the daily pursuit of bringing others closer to God.
The Power of Prospecting
Just as businesses must seek out potential clients, believers are called to reach those who have yet to know Christ. It takes courage to face objections or rejection, but through each challenge, our faith deepens as we learn to rely on the Holy Spirit for strength and direction.
Jesus: The Ultimate Fisher of People
Jesus modeled what it means to fish for souls. Using His life as a “fishing pole,” He led with compassion, love, and miracles that drew people toward the Gospel. We, too, have tools for this mission—the Holy Spirit, our testimonies, and God’s Word—to guide and empower us in reaching others.
Staying Focused on the Mission
Daily responsibilities can easily distract us from our divine purpose. Jesus met people where they were—rich or poor, young or old—reminding us that everyone is within reach of God’s love. Remaining adaptable and intentional keeps us aligned with His calling.
The Power of Personal Testimony
Sharing our stories is one of the most effective ways to lead others to faith. When we speak openly about our struggles and victories, we create space for others to encounter God through our experiences. Vulnerability builds connection—and connection opens hearts.
Joy in Publicly Acknowledging Jesus
Speaking about our relationship with Christ should be a source of joy. When we express our faith with enthusiasm and authenticity, the light of Jesus shines through us, drawing others to the same hope we’ve found.
Cast Your Net Wide
As you reflect on this message, ask yourself: are you actively sharing your faith? Each story matters. Your testimony could spark transformation in someone else’s life. Let’s embrace the adventure of sharing God’s love—casting our nets wide and making disciples together.
