The Propel Podcast

In this episode, Dr. Roger Walter explains that asking for decisions is a crucial step in the evangelism process. He points out the power of decisions to overcome emotional and mental barriers, describes a number of variations in how to ask for decisions, and explains how repetition prepares the soil of someone’s heart to make a life-changing decision. This was the 2nd breakout session in the reaping meetings track at the 2023 Propel Conference.
