183: Share Your Faith More Often
In today’s culture, people are less interested in church and are less likely to trust that pastors have good intentions. The internet has a wealth of content from famous church leaders, Christian authors, and influencers, but when people consume content online instead of building personal relationships with other believers, the seeds of true discipleship are not allowed to grow. With these things in mind, Christians tend to assume that other people will be led to Christ if we can just get them to listen to the right sermon or faith-based content. Yet it has always been God’s plan to use everyday, ordinary Christians to share their own personal faith with other people to reach them with the gospel. Pastor Adam and Steph plead with Christian listeners to share their faith more. If you are a Christian, know that you have more power and influence than you realize. People are more likely to want to listen to you than a polished speaker, and you should see everywhere you go as an opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ. *Scripture referenced in this episode: 1 Peter 3:15, John 3:16
