The 1-2-3 Challenge: Go, Speak the Gospel

How do we share our faith without fear? What does it actually mean to "speak the Gospel" in everyday life?In this final episode of our 1-2-3 Challenge series, Shane Welter and Vicar Dave Gallagher explore the last discipleship strategy: Go: Speak the Gospel.While loving our neighbors through acts of service is essential, Christians are also called to share the greatest gift they have ever received—the Good News of Jesus Christ. Faith comes by hearing, and God works through His Word to create and strengthen faith. Whether you're inviting a friend to church, sharing your testimony, praying for someone, or simply talking about the hope you have in Christ, every conversation can be an opportunity for God to work.Drawing from the 1-2-3 Challenge resource, Shane and Vicar Dave discuss practical First Steps, Next Steps, and Challenge Steps that help Christians grow in confidence as they speak the Gospel. The goal isn't having all the right answers—it's faithfully pointing people to Jesus.Topics include:• Why sharing the Gospel matters• Practical ways to begin faith conversations• Inviting others into the life of the Church• Sharing your testimony with humility and confidence• Praying for opportunities to speak about Jesus• Trusting God to work through His WordThis episode also marks the conclusion of our journey through the six areas of the 1-2-3 Challenge:Gather – In Worship • In Life TogetherGrow – In the Word • In Baptismal IdentityGo – Love Well • Speak the GospelA huge thank you to everyone who has already taken intentional steps of faith and shared them with us!
