Evangelism is Not Selling a Belief System

27 minutes

Tina Waldrom speaks with Rodney Olsen on the topic that Evangelism is Not Selling a Belief System. Rodney, host of the Bleeding Daylight podcast, has interviewed some extraordinary people that illustrate this truth. He shares some of their wisdom. Sharing Jesus is more than being armed with the correct theology and ready to defend the faith at any time. Whilst this may be appropriate, it’s not the ideal way to share Jesus. Rodney shares some challenging thoughts and encourages believers that, Evangelism is Not Selling a Belief System.

The story of the Samaritan woman at the well, is the perfect example that evangelism is more than selling a belief system. In this story, Jesus is seen as someone who knows the woman deeply, shows genuine care and connects His message in a very personal way. In a way that will help her. The story illustrates a way of evangelism that is considerate, embracive, ready to listen and so much more. Rodney expands on this biblical story and others from the interviews he has conducted.

In this episode, Rodney talks about Bradley Hopp, the co-founder of Teshuah Tea Company and Neil Tomba, the Senior Pastor of Northwest Bible Church. The stories are remarkable with clear messages that will help Christians share Jesus better. Evangelism is something that everyone can engage with. In fact, Jesus in His last command to go and make disciples, clearly thought that everyone could participate. Rodney shares the stories that illustrate the very real potential for everyone to be involved in evangelism. To be involved in simple yet profound ways. Ways that show and demonstrate a real and living Christ. Evangelism is Not Selling a Belief System.
