Episode 89 - Evangelism: Shift Your Perspective Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

The idea of “evangelism” can be scary to both believers and non-believers. Understanding how non-believers feel about spiritual conversations helps us share the Good News in ways that will draw others in, rather than scare them away. Kelli Jordan and Melodi Leih talk through some trends in today’s culture impacting how people feel about “evangelism.” If we can understand some of the trends, we can face them with truth.
