#93 - If God is sovereign, should we bother evangelizing?

Author: Jeff Musgrave & George Binoka July 8, 2026 Duration: 23:41

If God already knows who will be saved... why should Christians bother sharing the gospel?

It's one of the biggest questions surrounding God's sovereignty, election, and evangelism. If salvation is ultimately God's work, does witnessing even matter? Does prayer for the lost matter? What about those who seem completely hardened to the gospel?

In the final episode of this four-part series, George Binoka and Jeff Musgrave move from theology to practical application. Rather than discouraging evangelism, the sovereignty of God becomes the greatest motivation for bold, patient, relational gospel conversations.

In this episode you'll discover:

  • Why God's sovereignty actually fuels evangelism
  • How to pray confidently for lost family and friends
  • Why no one is beyond God's reach
  • The role of relationships, patience, persistence, love, and boldness
  • How this doctrine protects us from pride
  • What God's sovereignty means for assurance of salvation
  • How to avoid endless theological debates and grow in worship instead

If you've ever wrestled with the relationship between God's sovereignty and human responsibility, this conversation will encourage you to trust God more deeply while becoming even more passionate about sharing Christ.
