317 – What do you think of when you hear the word "evangelism"? 

Is it a good thing? Or does it make you cringe? 

All too often evangelism today has a negative connotation with some folks. The word is often associated with Christians, who may or may not be imbibing the true spirit of Christ.

Others, even many within the Christian church, get evangelism and proselytizing mixed up. 

They don’t want to be too pushy in sharing their faith, so they don’t share it at all. They don’t like people who try to forcefully manipulate them to believe in Christ the way a pushy salesman tries to make a sale. And they don’t want to be that person.

There’s a huge need within the Christian church as a whole to return to the original meaning of the word evangelism. 

In this week’s episode we’re going to talk about 

• What true evangelism today is 
• Why it’s so important for you to participate in it
• The example Jesus gives on how to share your faith
