A Different Perspective Official Podcast

One of the things that stops a lot of people from sharing Jesus with others is a fear that they don’t know what to say.  And yet they manage to communicate okay in every other part of their lives.  So what exactly is going on here?

Well ... you know ... one of the hardest things I've found about sharing Jesus with other people is, well ... finding the right words. What do you say? Where do you start? Now that's really weird because...

Sometimes, we’re afraid to share our faith in Jesus with others, because, well, we look at society and think to ourselves – they don’t want Jesus, they don’t want to hear this stuff – when all along, there’s a deep spiritual yearning happening out there, right now, in the hearts of so many.

It's interesting you know as we look around at people and society as a whole these days that there's a spiritual paradox playing itself out in ...

Okay – so you want to tell someone about Jesus.  But how?  Where do you begin? What do you say?  Do you know enough?  All questions that we might ask ourselves. But how would Jesus tell people about Jesus? Or should we just leave it to the experts?

If there's one thing the world hates, it's a hypocrite. Particularly a religious one. And you know something, I think that's fair enough. Whether it's in business or politics or family or...

When it comes to leading our friends and loved ones to Jesus, so often we end up frustrated. Because it’s not easy. They just don’t seem to get it. How can I find a different way of explaining this – it’s so obvious to me. But, if only we truly comprehended the power of praying for the lost.

Most of us would have had the experience of having to put together everything from a bike to some complex board game for our kids on Christmas...

We all know that Jesus has called us to tell other people about Him.  So what’s holding us back?  Uncertainty?  Fear?  Embarrassment?  What? Why are so many of the people who call themselves by His name – Christians – afraid to tell others about Jesus?

There's more than one thing that makes being a Christian different from being, say, a practicing Jew or a Buddhist or a Hindu. But one thing that does set Christians apart is that so...

Each of us has some big dream for our lives.  The thing that we really want to do or to be.  Some sense of destiny. But how do we know whether God is in that dream?  Good Question.
