How to Talk About Jesus Without Being Weird | Cy Kellett Catholic Answers


Listen Later

Cy Kellett, host of Catholic Answers Live, joins the Catholic Man Show for a wide-ranging and surprisingly practical conversation on evangelization. If the idea of “sharing your faith” makes you uncomfortable, intimidated, or quietly guilty, this episode is for you.

The guys talk about why evangelization feels scary for normal Catholics in the pews, why it is not optional, and why God never asked you to be effective. He only asked you to be faithful. Cy explains why pressure to “get results” is misplaced, how discouragement is the devil’s favorite weapon against evangelists, and why introverts might actually be better at sharing the Gospel than extroverts.

They also dig into what the Gospel actually is, why “God loves you” is true but incomplete, and how the full Christian story speaks directly to the modern world’s confusion about meaning, identity, and purpose. From street evangelization to talking with adult children who have drifted from the faith, Cy offers clarity, encouragement, and concrete advice rooted in real experience.

This is an episode about integrity, prayer, the sacraments, and learning how to talk about Jesus in a way that is honest, human, and real.

In this episode:

  1. Why evangelization feels intimidating for ordinary Catholics
  2. Why you are not called to be effective, only faithful
  3. How discouragement shuts down evangelization
  4. The difference between proclamation and debate
  5. Why introverts can be excellent evangelists
  6. What the Gospel actually is, beyond “God loves you”
  7. How modern culture misunderstands science and human dignity
  8. Why evangelization always includes words, not just example
  9. The role of prayer and the Eucharist in sustaining evangelists
  10. Why the goal is winning souls, not arguments
  11. Cy’s new book, How to Talk About Jesus with Anybody
