AUDIO PODCAST

Is simply praying a prayer enough to guarantee salvation? In this thought-provoking episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim take on one of the most widely accepted practices in modern evangelical Christianity—the Sinner’s Prayer. Rooted in revival movements and popularized through evangelistic crusades, this simple prayer has become a hallmark of Christian conversion. But has it led people into genuine faith or a false sense of security? Through honest conversation, biblical insight, and personal reflection, the guys challenge listeners to examine whether true salvation is marked by a moment or a lifestyle. They also explore what it means to be a disciple of Jesus—not just a convert—and how churches can better nurture new believers beyond the altar call.

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Where the Sinner’s Prayer came from—and why it became popular
  • Why salvation is more than a momentary prayer
  • The danger of false assurance and formulaic conversions
  • The essential role of repentance, faith, and discipleship
  • How churches can shift from decisions to real discipleship
  • What real heart transformation looks like in the life of a believer

📖 “True salvation is evidenced by transformation, not just affirmation.”

⛪ Are we making converts or disciples? Drew and Tim challenge the church to rethink altar calls and call believers to deep reflection on their own walk with Jesus.
