Toxic Evangelism

from Lo-fi Faith · host Mike Dawson and James Mello

Evangelism isn’t supposed to be toxic—but sometimes it is. Mike and James unpack how evangelism can drift into manipulation when it’s more about convincing, counting, or controlling than actually loving people. They also take aim at “friendship evangelism,” the version that pretends to be relational but drops people the moment they don’t convert.
