What if the next person you share Jesus with isn't sitting across from you at a coffee shop? What if they're scrolling through TikTok, watching YouTube or asking questions in an online chat? And what if reaching them is easier than you think? Millions of people spend hours online every day, searching for answers, connecting with others and exploring life's biggest questions. But how often do Christians see these digital spaces as opportunities for evangelism? In this episode of The Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom speaks with Ryan, Founder of NeedGod.net, a ministry reaching an audience of more than 1.3 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. From starting out terrified of sharing his faith to leading a growing digital evangelism ministry, Ryan shares how ordinary Christians can use the internet to reach people with the good news of Jesus. Through remarkable stories of online conversations, people discovering the gospel and lives changing over time, Ryan explores what digital evangelism looks like in practice. You'll hear why so many people misunderstand the message of Christianity, how to respond to difficult questions about faith, and why sharing Jesus doesn't require a huge following or professional content. Whether you're confident on social media or unsure where to begin, this conversation will encourage you to see the digital world as a genuine mission field and take one simple step towards sharing Jesus with someone online.
