Show Notes:

Why is sharing the gospel with family so difficult? If you’ve ever tried witnessing to a family member, you know how challenging it can be. Even Jesus Himself experienced rejection from His own family and hometown (John 4:44; John 7:1-5). But there’s hope! After His resurrection, Jesus' brothers believed and became key leaders in the early church—one even wrote the book of James.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why witnessing to family is so hard
  • The balance between patience and persistence
  • Practical steps to SHOW and TELL the gospel
  • How to pray for spiritual awakening in your loved ones
  • Trusting God’s perfect timing

Key Takeaways:

  1. Patience and persistence aren’t opposites—they work together.
  2. Witness by showing the gospel through your life, then telling it clearly and boldly.
  3. Avoid arguments. Use kindness, correct gently, and pray for God to soften hearts (2 Timothy 2:23-26).
  4. Don’t give up. God gave you a burden for your family because He cares for them and has a plan for their salvation.
  5. Pray for open doors and promise God you’ll walk through every one He provides.

If you’ve felt discouraged witnessing to family, this episode will give you the encouragement and tools you need to stay the course.
