What do you feel when you hear the word evangelism? For many of us, it brings up awkward memories—bullhorn preachers, high-pressure pitches, or messages more rooted in fear than love. But in Luke 15, Jesus shows us a different way. Through the parables of the lost sheep and lost coin, he reminds us that sharing our faith isn’t about coercion or performance—it’s about love, presence, and celebration.
In this episode, Pastor Mark explores three faithful and life-giving ways to share your faith:
• Lifestyle Evangelism – letting your actions preach before your words do
• Relational Evangelism – sharing hope through authentic friendships
• Invitational Evangelism – offering a simple “Come and see”
Whether you’ve been nervous about sharing your faith or have felt burned by others who have done it poorly, this message will help you rediscover the joy of participating in God’s mission—and remind you that when one person turns toward grace, heaven throws a party.
