Faith Over Fear: Living the Great Commission Daily (with Richie Seltzer) – Episode 535

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend and powerful evangelist Richie Seltzer. His story is wild—from 18 felonies before age 18 to a life radically changed by the love of Jesus. Richie shares how a simple paint crew job led him into a personal relationship with God and how he’s now sharing the gospel everywhere—from the gym sauna to street corners to international platforms. We talk about overcoming fear, being bold in your faith, discipling new believers, and how to actually live out the Great Commission in your everyday life. Whether you're a seasoned believer or just figuring out what evangelism even looks like, this episode will stir your heart and strengthen your faith.

If you’ve ever felt unqualified, scared, or too busy to share Jesus—this one's for you.

Practical Takeaways: How To Share the Gospel Boldly

✦ Stop Overthinking Evangelism – You don’t need to have all the answers—just be a witness to what Jesus has done in your life.
✦ Get Comfortable With “Failing” – Boldness is birthed in obedience, not perfection. Even a “wrong” word of knowledge can lead to healing and salvation.
✦ Build Margin Into Your Life – Make space for the Holy Spirit to interrupt your plans. Busyness is one of the biggest barriers to evangelism.
✦ Follow Up and Disciple – Don’t just celebrate a salvation prayer—get their number, follow up, invite them into your home or church community.
✦ Use Your Influence Intentionally – Ask God how to use your social media or business platform for His glory. Be creative and bold with your story.
✦ Feast to Stay On Fire – The more time you spend with God in His Word and presence, the more you’ll overflow with love and boldness.
