Why Share Your Faith / The Duty of All Christians / Martyrdom
-----------------------------------------
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: 

• The love of Christ is what impels one to share the Gospel
• Evangelization isn't the job of the just clergy, but a work of all the Christian faithful
• Christians have a duty to share the message of salvation
• Every Christian is called to be a martyr for the Faith

-----------------------------------------
WEEKLY CHALLENGE: 

1. Take time to pray and reflect on your story of conversion and faith: Who were you before Christ came into your life, what's the story of Him coming into your life, and how has He changed your life?
2. Be bold, pray for God's grace/assistance, and ask someone, "How are you?" Be ready to listen and be Christ's presence to this person, to pray with them, and to give a reason for your hope.
