You Can't Make Them Believe | Walking Close, Living Changed – Episode 4

Welcome to Episode 4 of Walking Close, Living Changed: “You Can’t Make Them Believe.” In this honest and freeing episode, Pastor Brian Opbroek reflects on a difficult truth many believers wrestle with: you cannot force someone else to believe—no matter how much you love them or long for their transformation. Through Scripture, personal insight, and relatable stories, Brian encourages listeners to release control and trust God to do what only He can do. He opens with the simple metaphor of sharing a favorite song with someone who just doesn’t “get it.” No matter how meaningful it is to you, you can’t make someone else feel what you feel. In the same way, faith is not something we can manufacture in another person. Looking at the Apostle Paul’s ministry in Acts 28:24, Brian highlights a powerful reality: “Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.” Even Paul—brilliant, passionate, Spirit-filled—couldn’t persuade everyone. Because belief is ultimately a choice. Brian reminds listeners that we are not the Holy Spirit. Our role is to plant seeds, water faithfully, and live out our faith with integrity. The outcome belongs to God. In This Episode: • Why belief cannot be forced—it’s a matter of free will • Lessons from Paul’s evangelism and rejection • The limits of apologetics and persuasive arguments • The difference between planting seeds and causing growth • How to love others without trying to control their spiritual journey 👉 Subscribe and join the journey as we continue learning how to walk closely with God—faithfully playing the song, and trusting Him with the rest.
