Telling and Going So Others May Believe

Who told you about Jesus so that you came to faith in Him? Join us this week as we discuss how God has called us to go and tell so that others may believe!

Dr. Travis Young—church planter, pastor, and longtime friend—joins Angela to unpack the powerful call of Romans 10:13-15. Together, they discuss what it means to be saved, the “chain of necessity” that brings the gospel to every heart, and how each believer can play a part in God’s mission. Travis shares how this passage changed the trajectory of his ministry, leading him to plant Frontier Church in a fast-growing, underserved area of Texas. This episode is a practical and inspiring look at how the good news moves from one life to another—and how your life can be a link in the chain.

 

Episode Highlights

• Angela and Travis discuss the context of Romans, focusing on Paul’s deep theology, the call to salvation, and the practical steps of sharing the gospel.
• The conversation unpacks Romans 10:13-15, explaining the “chain of necessity”—sending, preaching, hearing, believing, calling, and salvation—and how God involves every believer in His mission.
• Travis shares how this passage led him to plant Frontier Church in a rapidly growing, spiritually underserved part of Texas, and what it looks like to join God’s work—whether as a preacher, a sender, or a faithful witness in daily life.
• Listeners are encouraged that you don’t have to be a pastor to have “beautiful feet”—God uses every gift, every act of obedience, and every relationship to spread His good news.

• “God is creative and able to reach everybody He intends to reach.”
