How's Evangelism Going?
August 30, 2023
Summary
If you want to make Christians feel badly about themselves, one question to ask is, “How is evangelism going?” Many Christians think the way to do evangelism is through things like street preaching, handing out tracts, or sharing the gospel with someone on an airplane. Those things are fine and good--but they may not be the main way to do evangelism according to the New Testament. In today’s episode, Jon and Justin talk about loving our neighbor and doing evangelism, as well as what to say when we have opportunities to speak of Christ.

Hi, this is Justin.
If you want to make Christians feel pretty badly about themselves, ask them one of two questions.
One, how's your prayer life?
Two, how's evangelism going?
Well, in today's podcast, we're going to talk about that second piece.
For many of us, we tend to think that the only way to do evangelism is maybe through things like street preaching or handing out tracks or sharing the gospel with somebody we're sitting next to on the airplane.
And while those are all legitimate things to do, that might not actually be the main way we do evangelism according to the New Testament.
So, John and I are going to try to encourage us all in our love of neighbor and in living in such a way that we would have opportunity to share the hope of Christ that we have within us.
And then we're also going to think about: all right, when the opportunity arises to engage a non-believer, what do I say to all that and more in today's episode.
We hope you're encouraged.
Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast.
John's trying to pressure me into talking fun.
We're kind of silly.
