Spreading Good News: A Simple Guide to Sharing the Gospel

Imagine you’ve just discovered the best sandwich shop in town. You can’t help but tell your friends about it! Sharing your excitement about a yummy sandwich is a lot like sharing the Good News of the Gospel: it’s all about spreading joy and great news to others. Everyone has something to say, and in this case, what we have to share is truly life-altering.


In the Bible, specifically in Matthew 24:14, it tells us that the news of God’s kingdom will touch every corner of the world. But who gets to share this wonderful news? The great news is that it’s not just for special people or trained ministers; it’s for everyone! We all have a part to play in sharing this joyful news.

Everyone Can Be a Messenger

You don’t need to be a preacher with fancy robes or stand on a stage. Every follower of Christ can share their experiences. Think of it as chatting with your neighbor or friends over coffee. When you talk about your life and how knowing God has made a difference for you, you’re spreading his Gospel! It’s about being real and relatable. Personal stories often speak louder than grand speeches.

Show, Don’t Just Tell

It’s true what they say: actions speak louder than words! One fun and powerful way to share the Gospel is by living it out loud. When you treat others with kindness, help someone in need, or show love and compassion, you are sharing the Gospel without saying a word. People notice when you live with joy and generosity; it inspires them.

Think of the positive impact your actions can have. For example, lending a helping hand or volunteering can be a form of sharing the Gospel as well. It's like the best kind of silent testimony. When others see your actions, they might remember your kindness long after the moment has passed.

Teaming Up With God

You might be wondering how you can make a difference, and that’s a great question! You don’t have to do it all alone. God wants to partner with you in this mission. Imagine you're on a fun project together, where you bring in your skills, time, and even a little bit of treasure. When you give to charities, support your church, or help the less fortunate, you are teaming up with God to spread His message.

Just like businesses want the largest market share, God desires everyone to turn to Him. In Isaiah 49:5-6, we learn that it’s not just about helping a few; it’s about shining a light for everyone. You get to be part of something much bigger: bringing hope and joy to all people everywhere.

In Closing

So let’s remember, sharing the Gospel can be as simple as telling your favorite sandwich story or as profound as living a life filled with love and kindness. Whether through our words, actions, or generous hearts, each of us has a role to play. The Good News is too great to keep to ourselves, so let's get out there and share it! Together, we can help make God’s message shine bright across the globe.

Discover the Hidden Gem of Olla: Why Burger Barn is Worth the Detour!

Story and Photos by Ken Hulsey Whenever I travel through the more rural parts of our country, I enjoy experiencing the local flavor by avoiding chain restaurants and dining at small mom-and-pop eateries. This past weekend, Terri and I were on the road from Alexandria to West Monroe, so we decided to stop at one of our favorite roadside spots, the Burger Barn in Olla, Louisiana.

Haunted Landscapes and Hollywood: The Dark Secrets of Dead Man’s Point

 Photos By Ken Hulsey / Story By Terri Hulsey Victorville is on the southwestern edge of the Mojave Desert. Established in 1895, the downtown area grew around historic Route 66 (now 7th Street). The town soon became known as a prime location for shooting westerns in the 40s and 50s but Victorville was also a memorable setting during the Hollywood heyday of space sagas. Infamous director Jack Arnold (“Creature from the Black Lagoon,” "This Island Earth,” “The Incredible Shrinking Man”) shot the opening scene of “It Came from Outer Space” (1953) here. The UFO flew over the rocks on the east side of the Narrows, near the Rainbow Bridge, and crashed in Old Town Victorville.  

When Plans Go Awry: The Wild Journey Behind the Cinema Insomnia Ultraman Festival Episode That Never Happened

 Photo and Story by Ken Hulsey Sometimes in life, things don’t go as planned. Today, I took a deep dive into my photo archives and resurfaced with a long-forgotten treasure. The above image features the late-night horror host Mr. Lobo standing in front of a statue of the Japanese superhero, Ultraman. This photo was taken outside the famed Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Before I get caught up in the story behind this image, I think it’s a good idea to provide some background on Mr. Lobo and his show, Cinema Insomnia. This information comes straight from the archives of my old blog, Monster Island News:

The museum is situated on the site of the former Long Leaf Sawmill Complex, which was one of many mill complexes in the region.

Unlocking Your Purpose: How Connection and Faith Can Transform Your Life!

Photo & Story by Ken Hulsey As human beings, we weren't designed to keep all of our love, talents, and blessings to ourselves. There is a real sense of purpose in spreading all of those things around. As a Christian, are you required to be perfect? No, of course not. It also doesn't give you an excuse to indulge in unhealthy behavior either. How do you get the balance right? Life will throw you curve balls, place hurdles and pitfalls in your path. There is a way to navigate around and over these issues that can strengthen you and ultimately lead you to a purpose for your life that will be better than you could ever imagine!  

Lost Landmarks: The Heartbreaking Demise of Gibson's in Vernon - My Childhood Memories

Photos and Story by: Ken Hulsey It’s interesting how certain places from our past stick in our memory. Recently, I have been reminiscing about my time in the northern Texas farming town of Vernon from 1974 to 1978. One landmark that stands out in my mind is the Gibson's department store located just off the Highway 287 frontage road. Like many retail and five-and-dime stores of its time (pre-Walmart and Target for you younger folks), Gibson's offered a little bit of everything—clothes, hardware, household goods, and toys.
