Today’s episode of Resident Strangers is all about evangelism! Evangelism is the act of sharing the gospel with people who aren’t Christians. We as Christians are called to share Jesus through the way we live AND through verbally sharing the gospel. If we do one but not the other, it can be an ineffective witness and confuse non-believers. With whatever we do or say, we should always point back to Jesus. The team shares useful tips to have conversations about the gospel, like asking what they believe about God and an afterlife, and why they think that. Ask personal and intentional questions to get to know them and understand their beliefs. Then, based on their answers, you can shift the conversation to explaining what the gospel is. You can even share your testimony of what God did in your life. People may not initially be receptive to having a spiritual conversation, but the point is to plant seeds and get them thinking. You never know how God will use that conversation in that person’s life later. If you are timid about sharing the gospel – or just need a refresher – this episode is for you!
