No. 112: Where to Start with Sharing Your Faith (Pt. 1)

If you’re a Christian, you probably know you should share your faith—but actually doing it? That’s a different story. Maybe you feel confident and wonder why others don’t share the gospel more often. Maybe you’ve tried, but it felt awkward and forced. Or maybe you don’t even know where to start and feel guilty every time you think about it.

Wherever you land, this episode is for you. Too often, Christians are told to evangelize but aren’t taught how to do it in a sincere, authentic, and non-awkward way. That’s what we’re unpacking in this two-part series.

Nathaniel shares how his views on evangelism radically changed during seminary—going from adamantly opposed to door-to-door evangelism to leading groups in his own neighborhood. While the takeaway here isn’t that you need to start knocking on doors, it is that sharing your faith is worth it and can be done naturally in everyday life.

In this episode, we cover the why and who of evangelism:

🔹 Why evangelism matters (hint: the Great Commission)

🔹 How our understanding of salvation fuels our desire to share

🔹 Who we should be sharing with (using the Oikos Map)

The One Degree Shift: Pray specifically for someone in your life who doesn’t know Christ. Ask God to soften their heart, open their eyes, and give you natural opportunities to share the gospel.
