In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom unpacks a powerful idea the Lord has placed on her heart: legacy evangelism. Too often we think of legacy in terms of money, property, or achievements, but Tina explains that true legacy is about what we leave in people, not just for people. Drawing from Scripture and real-life examples, she reminds us that the way we model evangelism in our everyday lives can inspire others to do the same. Our example becomes our legacy, and whether as individuals or as churches, the seeds we sow today, seen or unseen, can grow into fruit that impacts generations to come.
Tina shares inspiring stories, from the ripple effect of Edward Kimball’s quiet witness that ultimately influenced Billy Graham, to the generational faith passed from Lois to Eunice to Timothy in the Bible. She highlights how legacy evangelism isn’t just for the well-known or the famous but is built through ordinary faithfulness, acts of kindness, everyday prayers, and sharing our personal stories. This episode challenges us to ask: what legacy of evangelism are we leaving behind? Will people remember us as those who kept the good news to ourselves, or as those who sowed generously into others’ lives? Be encouraged to let legacy become your motivation for sharing Jesus and shaping a future that outlives you.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
- Legacy is what you leave behind in people, not just for them.
- Our example becomes our legacy in evangelism.
- No act of witness is ever wasted; seeds bear fruit later.
- Faith can be passed down through generations.
- Ordinary acts of kindness can lead to extraordinary impacts.
- The life of Jesus is the greatest legacy we can follow.
- We must preach the good news through words and actions.
- Churches should lean into the concept of legacy in outreach.
- Identifying individuals to sow into can create lasting change.
- The full impact of our legacy may only be seen in eternity.
- And more…

Discussion Questions
1. When you hear the word “legacy,” what comes to mind? Money, property, reputation, or something deeper? How does Jesus call us to think about legacy differently?
Read: Matthew 6:19–20 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth… But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.”
2. DL Moody said, “Out of 100 people, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.” What would people “read” about evangelism if they looked at your life or your church?
Read: 1 Corinthians 11:1 “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”
3. Paul wrote that he planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow. How can you stay motivated to share your faith, even when you don’t see immediate results?
Read: 1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.”
4. Timothy’s faith was passed down from his grandmother Lois to his mother Eunice, and then to him. How are you sowing faith into the next generation whether your children, grandchildren, or spiritual children?
Read: 2 Timothy 1:5 “I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice…”
5. The Samaritan woman simply shared her story, and many believed. What “ordinary” acts of kindness, consistency, or testimony might God use in your life to point people to Jesus?
Read: John 4:39 “Many of the Samaritans… believed in him because of the woman’s testimony.”
6. Jesus didn’t leave behind property or writings, but He left behind disciples, His message, and His example. Which of these three legacies do you feel most challenged to carry forward today – discipleship, proclaiming the gospel, or living with compassion and sacrifice?
Read: John 13:34–35 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
7. Legacy is built in many small, faithful moments. What is one practical step you can take this week, such as a prayer, an act of kindness, or a simple mention of Jesus that could plant a seed in someone’s life?
Read: Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
