There is a finite number of people who can talk Jesus to a crowd. There is an infinite number of people who can talk Jesus to a person. The key to being an effective Everyday Evangelist is seeing the person apart from their crowd and believing that God is orchestrating the conversation. 

Every Day Evangelism is… 

Going public with a positive review on Jesus.

Touting Jesus as the person you can’t live without.

Being clothed in Christ. Following Jesus so closely that you live like, act like and talk like Him. 

The key to effective evangelism is to shift your focus from conversions to conversations. Everyday evangelism (spiritual influence) is the act of leading someone one step closer to Jesus than they were before our interaction. 

Why aren’t more Christians engaged in everyday evangelism? 

We underestimate our calling/identity as everyday evangelists. When you embrace a calling/identity, you chase proficiency and look for opportunities.

We over-compartmentalize our lives. When you integrate your life, you are the same person in every compartment.

Everyday Evangelists… sit on go, carrying hope with humility.

1 Peter 3:15b (NIV) 15 … Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 

To sit on go is to be ready for the ask prepared with the answer. 

Hope-filled people always peaks people’s curiosity. Hope is in short supply.

Humility doesn’t correct people, it directs peoples. I am not better than the next person because of my Jesus story, but I am better off than the next person. 

Everyday Evangelists… pray for open doors &
