Hey guys, my name is Johnny Artivannis and this is Dialin. I want to thank some of you guys for

notifying me that some of my podcast episodes had been taken down from Apple Podcasts. We've re-uploaded

those and we believe the issue has been fixed. In that same vein, if you guys would leave us a

comment slash rating on whatever podcast platform you listen on, that really helps get the word out

about the show so that more people can hear the truth of God's Word and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Well, in this episode, I sit down with Mark Spence. He's the senior vice president of Living

Waters Ministries. He's a great guy, a good friend, and he's got a heart of evangelism which i am just

drawn to because we need to reach people with the gospel of jesus christ and so in this episode i

ask him just what are some of those main hindrances that we have to sharing christ and what are some

of the main hindrances that people have in receiving the truth of the gospel. You're not going to want to

miss it. Let's dial in.

Well, Mark, thank you for sitting down. I have so many questions I want to ask you as you are a

preeminent leader in regards to apologetics and evangelism. I want to ask you as you are a preeminent leader in regards to apologetics

and evangelism. I wanted to ask you, what are some of the main oppositions that people throw

at you when you're sharing the gospel in regards to the Christian faith, the word of God, and so

forth? I think one of the top questions that I get just from an individual out on the street

is they think that they are plenty good enough to get to heaven.

Why do I need to become a Christian?

I'm already good.

I'm good enough.

And they kind of compare themselves to other people, right?

And you'll always find somebody worse than yourself if you compare yourself to somebody else right if you go up to the guy who's smoking marijuana you say man you shouldn't be doing that right you're killing dendrites
