Season to Speak Up

Episode Summary

Today, find some way to lead your friends, family, neighbors, or coworkers to the Living Water.

Episode Transcription

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Many years ago, I met a young, Dutch man named Johan. He was a missionary to the Bedouins and nomads near Israel’s Sinai Desert, a forgotten people in one of the most forgotten corners of the world. Johan learned many life lessons from the people of the desert, including that it’s considered worse than murder to know of a source of water and yet neglect to tell your fellow travelers. Six hours without water in the desert during the summer, and you’re dead. And as Christians, we know what the water source is, right? Jesus says in John 4:14, “Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst.” Friend, if your neighbors, coworkers, and relatives don’t know Christ, they’re going to die of spiritual thirst. So please, today, somehow, someway lead them to the Living Water. This is the season to speak up, because it would be an absolute crime not to.
