The Followed By Mercy Podcast
Real Grace, Honest Hope
You might notice a new name and a fresh look, but the heart behind this podcast is the same. After years as the World Evangelism Podcast, I sensed God leading me to a deeper, more personal path centered on His relentless mercy and the kind of honest hope that can reach into every hurting place. That’s why this show is now called Followed By Mercy Podcast. The format may shift, and the tone may be a bit more personal, but my mission hasn’t changed: I still believe the world desperately needs to hear the good news of God’s love in Jesus Christ. You are welcome here if you’ve been with me from the beginning or just found us now.
What if God’s love is more personal, stubborn, and relentless than you ever imagined?
Welcome to The Followed By Mercy Podcast, where we get honest about pain, hope, and the kind of grace that finds you right where you are, five days a week. This isn’t about religious performance or church routines. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt worn out, unseen, or unsure if they belong in the story of God’s love. Every conversation is rooted in this reality: God loves you right now, just as you are, and He isn’t giving up on you.
Here’s what you’ll find in every episode:
Experience God’s Relentless Love
Every show starts by reminding you that the Shepherd knows your name, cares about your story, and isn’t offended by your failures or questions. This is personal—it’s about God’s unwavering affection for you.
Find Your Place in His Heart
Once you grasp how fiercely you’re loved, sharing that love with others doesn’t feel forced. It becomes the most natural thing in the world. Real grace overflows.
Prayer That Changes You
We pray together—not just for the world “out there,” but for the battles and hopes you’re carrying right now. These prayers are honest, rooted in Scripture, and meant for hearts that need a gentle touch from the Shepherd.
Discover Your Unique Role
Whether you’re called to go, give, serve, or show kindness in your corner of the world, God’s mercy meets you where you are. You’re not just a bystander. You are His beloved, invited into the story He’s writing.
When life knocks the wind out of you, this is a place to catch your breath. You’ll hear the encouragement that meets you on your hardest days, and your honest questions will be welcomed. No pretending, no heavy-handed advice—just the reminder that your Shepherd is right there with you, walking every step with you, even when you feel like giving up.
Why does this matter? Because some days, it feels like nobody sees you or cares what you’re going through. But the truth is, you have a Shepherd who never takes His eyes off you, lets you slip through the cracks, and never gives up on you. That kind of love can put you back on your feet, and it might be the hope someone else is waiting to see in you, too.
If you’re longing for more than just religious talk—if you want to know you’re not alone and that God’s mercy is following you all the way home, you’re in the right place. Whether you listen in the car, on a walk, or in a quiet moment, let every episode remind you: God’s mercy is after you right now, ready to bring real grace and honest hope.

The Deep Impact of Worship on Spiritual Life
How does worship shape your relationship with God? Join us as we reflect on the transformative experiences of Abraham, originally known as Abram, from Genesis chapter 12. We promise you’ll gain profound insights into how Abraham's unwavering faith and heartfelt worship set the foundation for receiving God's promises and blessings. Through Abraham’s story, discover the true essence of worship, much more than just singing hymns but as a wholehearted response to God's goodness.
This episode invites you to reimagine the role of worship in your own life, challenging you to go beyond mere rituals and engage in genuine, sacrificial acts of devotion. Reflect on Abraham’s journey, how he built altars as a testament to his faith, and consider the tangible ways you can demonstrate God's significance in your life. Worship requires time, resources, and sincere dedication. Tune in to be inspired and to renew your commitment to worshipping God with obedience and reverence, even amidst life's trials and temptations.

Once Abraham realizes how much he's been blessed, he builds an altar. In Genesis, chapter 12, verse 7, the Lord appeared unto Abram and there builded he an altar unto the Lord and he called upon the name of the Lord. You see, god appeared to Abraham, or Abram at the time. He's still being called Abram and he speaks to him and he gives him all that promise. And I'll tell you that God's appeared to me and you. He appeared to me on May, the 6th 1962, showing me that I was a sinner and I could be saved, and I put my trust in Jesus Christ. He made himself clear to Abram and he made himself clear to me. And God has given promises to Abram. He said that he was going to do great things with him and he was going to bless him. God's made big promises to me. God's made big promises to you. If you think back on it, god's been so good to you. And so Abram responds to those promises and after God has spoken to him, and he says I'm going to obey you, I am going to worship you and I'm going to do what you tell me to do. That ought to be our response. He worshiped the Lord. In Genesis, chapter 12 and verse 8, he built an altar in the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord. Worship is never about us, it's about him. Worship is for him, not for us. Worship is our response to him as God, as he speaks to us, as he blesses us and as he promises us.
W. Austin Gardner:Abraham built an altar in two different places. You see, worship was a regular part of Abram's life. I want you to know that worship cost. When you use the term worship in modern day terms, you kind of tend to think of that as the musical time when we're all singing and let's worship the God in song. But the real worship is in the sacrificial giving to set up a altar. Worship takes time. Worship takes money. Worship shows that God is important enough for me to invest time and money in it. How important is worship in your life? What evidences are there in your life that show the world how important God is to you and how important worshiping God is? What's your attitude? Do you show up at church and sit on a pew and say bless me if you can, or are you there to worship? Worship is so important that it doesn't mean you will not have problems and temptations. It's important, but life will have problems. Abraham is about to experience problems in this Bible story.
