LTWT 051: Sharing the Word with Wisdom, Love, and Respect
Tuesday Jan 13, 2026

“We have to approach witnessing with love and no other motive. We’re not there to get anything from anyone. We just want to go out there with an attitude of giving and with love and with the goal of being ambassadors and reconciling people back to God.”
In this episode, Taylor Thurlow interviews Rev. Basil Makharita about sharing God’s Word with people of different belief systems than Christianity. Basil, who grew up Muslim, tells his personal account of getting to know God, and the man who took the time to answer his questions and walk him through the Scriptures. He also gives important insight into what approaches were edifying to him, and which ones were not, as Christians spoke God’s Word to him over the years. And he shares things we should keep in mind when we speak God’s Word specifically to people of different religions. Through genuine love, care, and humility, someone showed Basil God’s nature. Would you like to do the same for someone else? Tune in!

I am a Local Way Ambassador, this Podcast is exactly what I needed to hear, because going straight to conversation without showing The love of God is fruitless. Walking in wisdom, God will bring the increase. I love the what IF’s and THEN is a great way to start a conversation.

Love this and will listen again. I have some friends of a different religion , have been praying for a muslim I know from work and have had it on my heart for a while to witness to some muslims I encounter when out socially. Wasnt’ sure how to go about it---we did have those days when I first got in the Word where we were treated as kind of notches on someone’s Bible and treated as though we knew nothing until we had taken the class a few times and discouraged from having friends who weren’t in the ministry. One lady with whom I’ve been friends for almost 20 years, will be starting PFALToday on Friday.
