Pastor Steve was recently asked, "What are some things you wish you had known earlier about evangelism?" That led him to think of 10+ lessons learned about ministry that could be helpful to you.
Here's the summary. Listen to the pod for the whole thing!
1) Pray more.
2) People don't care what you know until they know that you care.
3) It's not a presentation, it's a conversation.
4) It's ok to say "I don't know...let me get back to you."
5) Sow widely
6) It's possible to win people to you and not win them to Christ.
7) Be just as intentional about discipling a new believer as pursuing an interested unbeliever.
8) This is hardest area of ministry to lead others in.
9) Secret to evangelism is overcoming fear.
10) Just do it!
Bonus: People are WAY more willing to talk about spiritual things than Christians often assume. So start that conversation!
