How Do You Share the Gospel With Your Family? | Stephen DeMattis on Straight Bible

How do you share the gospel with your family? Stephen DeMattis was saved at 18, then preached the wide and narrow way (Matthew 7:13-14) to his dad.
A Straight Bible guest episode with Stephen DeMattis of Biblical Hitman, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Stephen DeMattis, a former firefighter and the host of Biblical Hitman, tells how a friend back from Teen Challenge preached the gospel to him at 18. He was saved and baptized that night, went home, and preached the wide road to destruction and the narrow road (Matthew 7:13-14) to his dad, who got angry. After years of tension his dad gave his life to the Lord. His advice: people already feel something when the gospel comes to them, and a close call is the time to say "you're living on borrowed time."

Also: growing up near Parkland and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, a family of pro baseball players, a house fire he worked as a firefighter, planting a food forest and building a house on his land, how Biblical Hitman grew out of fallen-angel and Nephilim topics, the podcast algorithm, the woman taken in adultery ("He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," John 8:7), Alice Bailey, the Lucis Trust and the coming Antichrist, Disclosure Day, House of David and The Chosen, and which Bible translation to read.
