Jesus sends out his disciples to share the good news about God. He informs them that “the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” Still, today Jesus sends out his followers. And the good news about God still changes lives and transforms communities. The biggest challenge facing the spread of the Gospel is not the Gospel’s lack of power – if has more than enough, it is the lack of people ready and willing to spread. In our culture, we have been discouraged from sharing our faith by the lie that religion is private. The Christianity we inherit from Jesus’ own teachings to the earliest disciples is personal, not private. Every Christian is called to learn the art of spiritual conversation – learning to listen and relate to the spiritual journey of others and to share the Gospel in a gracious, kind, and loving manner.
