"I just don't know how to talk to someone about my faith.", is perhaps one of the most used statements I've encountered when encouraging others to share the gospel. "I don't want to feel like I'm being judged" or "I just clam up and don't know how to speak when talking about what I believe.", is another couple of statements I hear when asking believers if they have conversations about what they believe and why.

You got it, we are talking about how to have a conversation with unbelievers and with believers.  There are times when a topic or doctrine is brought up and someone mentions something that is off.  You know you need to address it, but how?  You may be in a conversation with someone, express what they believe and then ask you if you agree.  If you don't what should you look for and expect from that type of conversation?  Then there are going to be those conversations with unbelievers, you know you need to share the gospel but you get nervous and feel like you wont be effective.

What is the secrete to being able to navigate these encounters?  Join us and find out.

Grace and peace friends.  Below are several verses we use in this program.

13      Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?
14      But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED,
15      but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;
16      and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.
17      For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.
(1 Peter 3:13–17)

9      Now as to the love of the brethren, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;
10      for indeed you do practice it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to excel still more,
11      and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,
12      so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and cnot be in any need.
(1 Thessalonians 4:9–12)

5      Better is open rebuke
         Than love that is concealed.
6      Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
         But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
7      A sated man loathes honey,
         But to a famished man any bitter thing is sweet.
(Proverbs 27:5–7)
