Don’t Water Down the Gospel – Evangelism Is Easy Ep. 5 | With Pastor Les Cody

Welcome to the Evangelism Is Easy Podcast, where we equip everyday believers to boldly share their faith and make disciples in their daily lives.

In this episode, Pastor Les Cody sits down with Pastor Chris Donald for a bold, unfiltered conversation on the urgency of keeping the gospel pure in a compromised culture. Together, they confront the dangers of watering down truth to attract crowds, what it really looks like to stand strong as the Church in 2025, and why spiritual leadership must be unwavering in the face of cultural and political pressure. Pastor Chris also shares a powerful and confronting moment of witnessing in a mall, along with a testimony of real transformation that reminds us why the uncompromised gospel still works.

In this episode, we cover:

• What it truly looks like to stand strong as the Church in 2025
• Why the gospel must remain pure so people find Jesus, not just a “clean version” of the world
• A bold evangelism moment: “You are creating a god in your own image”
• A powerful testimony of transformation from a man who encountered Jesus and found true belonging
• Why evangelists need bold, uncompromising spiritual leadership as their covering
• The cost of silent pulpits and what happens when churches avoid hard spiritual, cultural, and political truths
• How the presence of God is affected when truth is avoided instead of preached

Action Step:
Ask the Holy Spirit, “What’s one place this week where I know God is asking me to step out?”
Give Him your yes—and let us know in the comments how it goes.
