In the final part of our 3-part series with Abundant Life Podcast co-hosts Ben Arellano and Saso Mendez, we explore the heart of relational evangelism in a broken world.

From the secular workplace to the addictions ministry of Freedom That Lasts, Ben and Saso open up about what it looks like to love people intentionally, share the gospel urgently, and recognize the soul beneath the surface — whether it’s a fentanyl addict or an HVAC business owner.

You’ll walk away with renewed purpose and practical insight for making disciples in everyday life.
