Listen Later

This Tuesday, don’t miss a special highlight episode as we gear up for an unforgettable conversation dropping this Thursday.

E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss various approaches to sharing the gospel. They highlight Ray Comfort's creative methods and his intentionality in evangelism. For introverts hesitant to share the gospel, the key is being authentic to who God made them to be. Psalm 139 emphasizes that each person is intentionally designed by God, and every personality type is equipped to evangelize. Believers should explore their unique ways of fulfilling the call to share the gospel, remembering the same Holy Spirit that empowered the disciples resides in them.

Admitting when you don’t know something is okay, as humility resonates. Online evangelism is another significant avenue. Social media offers a vast mission field, but it’s vital to remember there’s a person behind every screen. Oscar suggests transitioning online connections into real-life conversations, such as inviting someone for coffee. 

Lastly, relational evangelism focuses on building relationships with coworkers, friends, and neighbors. Acts of service, like sharing baked goods or helping neighbors, can open doors to share the gospel. Living out the gospel authentically in daily life allows others to see its transformative power. Holidays provide natural opportunities to evangelize, whether by hosting gatherings or sharing the gospel during celebrations.
