Send us Fan MailEvangelism isn’t a performance, a program, or a pressure tactic—and it was never meant to be.In this episode, a men’s Bible study group walks through Evangelism (9Marks) and wrestles honestly with what it really means to share the gospel in everyday life. This is a raw, unscripted conversation about practical evangelism, church culture, altar calls, discipleship, and why most Christians feel either guilty or paralyzed when it comes to sharing their faith.We talk about:- Why evangelism is persuasion, not manipulation- Why you can’t “talk someone into” following Jesus- The danger of confusing decisions with discipleship- Evangelism as a long game, not a microwave moment- Living as ambassadors for Christ at work, at home, and in failure- Why authenticity matters more than polish- How churches can build a culture of evangelism, not just programs- Why actions open doors—but the gospel still requires words- This episode is for anyone who:- Feels awkward or afraid to share their faith- Is tired of gimmicks and performance-driven Christianity- Wants to live out the gospel in real life, not just Sunday morning- Believes evangelism should look like presence, humility, and truth📚 Books MentionedEvangelism – J.
