As followers of Christ, we are called to share the good news of the Gospel with others. We want to do this, and we know we are called to do this, but so often we hesitate. We worry about how the other person will respond. Will they get angry? Will our words push them further away from God? Will we be able to defend our faith if they ask questions? What if we say the wrong thing?
Our guest for this episode, Rev. Joe Precht, oversees the witness ministry of Williamson's Chapel UMC and shares some amazing insights with us on how to effectively share the Gospel of Christ with others. Listen and find out key elements to doing this effectively and without fear of others' responses.
