When you think about sharing your faith, what comes to your mind? Do you think about the look on the other person’s face? What is that expression? Is it happy? Angry? Maybe a little confused? Do you think about the scary proposition of offending someone? Or maybe you envision yourself getting off to a great start, and then dwindling into awkwardness as you run out of things to say, or answers to your friend’s objections? Maybe you’ve experienced a similar situation… or maybe the fear of it has kept you from sharing your faith. Today I want to share some thoughts that come directly from a course called Cojourners. This is a curriculum developed by the Church Movements team, which I’ve been trained in, and which I’ve adapted for the Think Institute. Actually I’m currently teaching a Cojourners class at Midwest Bible Church here in Chicago. Specifically, I want to talk about the subject of evangelism in some broad strokes… and I want to then zero in on one important concept: Why it's so hard to share your faith. Then I'll share with you three simple steps you can take to become more evangelistic. Get the full show notes at http://thethink.institute.
