Key Takeaways:
Ignorance and fear are two major resistance factors that hold Christians back from sharing their faith.
Overcoming ignorance involves becoming aware of the number of people who don't know Jesus and understanding the impact of cultural influences on their perception of God.
Fear can be overcome by focusing on God's love and the authenticity of one's own story and witness.
Women have unique opportunities to share their faith and make a difference in their communities and the world.
Building a community of like-minded believers can provide support, encouragement, and opportunities for growth in sharing the gospel.
