I'm Bad at Evangelism | Iron Sharpening Iron | Ep 1

In this first-ever Those Few podcast episode, Joe—speaking for many believers—confesses his negligence in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Joe and Pastor Mark McClelland discuss the Biblical basis for evangelism, whether evangelism is a gift or role, and the common responsibility and urgency for sharing the Good News. We also address the proportion of believers who share the Gospel, ways of sharing our faith, and what fundamentally happens when a person acknowledges Christ.
