The pastor shares stories about how sharing the gospel can transform lives. One story is about a man who was a drug dealer and facing jail time, but after hearing the gospel, he gave his life to Jesus and told the truth in court, leading to him being spared jail time. Another story is about a Vietnam veteran who had killed people and was tormented by guilt, but after hearing the gospel, he found forgiveness and deliveredance. The pastor encourages people to spend time with God and share the gospel out of obedience, as it can bring liberation and personal transformation.

I want to talk about Jesus for a moment now and I want to talk about shoes, what does Jesus have to do with shoes? I remember one time when I was receiving missionary training and this woman was teaching us how to discern the Voice of God, she was also telling us about the character of Jesus Christ, all the existing names of Jesus and all the characteristics about Jesus.

And then she told us: I want all of you to get out there until you receive a Word from God and can experience the Presence of God. I said, ok I was in Concorde in New Hampshire in the state of New Hampshire and so I went out and went into the field, here are these beautiful trees, the pines and the granite that is typical of New Hampshire, I was standing there worshiping the Lord but at the moment it's like He was physically present in front of me.
