The Reach Podcast
Have you ever been in a conversation with the opportunity to bring someone closer to Jesus, but you don’t know how or what to say? It can be a challenging task. It requires open ears, intentionally, and a lot of patience.
The Reach Podcast’s goal is to equip and inspire you to share the message of Jesus more effectively. Each week, you'll hear a discussion of a conversation our guest had with a friend who is investigating Jesus. Over time, our hope is that hearing how these conversations unfold will give you the confidence to have them yourself.
The Reach Podcast is hosted by Blaine Larsen, who serves as VP of Field Operations for Search Ministries. Blaine has been in full-time vocational ministry with Search since 2012. Prior to that, he had a career as a platinum-selling country music artist and hit songwriter in Nashville, TN. He is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary (MACL, 2018).
The Reach Podcast is produced by Search Ministries, an almost 50-year old nationwide ministry committed to a relational approach to evangelism. To learn more, visit searchnational.org. To learn more about Search's evangelism training ministry, Reach, visit reachothers.org

The Power of Listening: Why Silence Speaks Louder Than Correction
What if instead of correcting, we simply paused and listened?
In this episode of the Reach Podcast, host Brandon Statis shares a powerful story about a neighborhood friendship that led to a surprising conversation about faith, family, and meaning. Over a simple lunch, a neighbor opened up about his struggles with alcohol in his family and his decision to walk away from God. Rather than debating, Brandon chose to listen. What followed was a moment of trust, vulnerability, and the beginning of an ongoing friendship.
