When questions come our way, sometimes we look for a ‘silver bullet’ response or we try to ‘crowbar’ Jesus into our conversations. But is that they best way? Instead of ‘spiritualising’ the odd conversation, perhaps we need to be ‘humanising’ all our connections with non-Christians.
This episode – the first in our new series called “Power Evangelism” – is about being a witness for Jesus in the context of ordinary life?

Thanks for this guys, really good.. I like the point that you don’t need to change the conversation and relate it back to Jesus, you need to be present in the conversation and join in. Talk deeper about it, show and interest, learn why they love it. Once you get deeper there may be a time where Jesus naturally comes into the conversation. I have recently taken a view that you have to earn the right to talk about things like that. Let them talk about what they love, their challenges, their fears and troubles. once they get to the end of their conversation they will expect a response, then you are able to gently reply and tell your story. Through prayer and patience comes the opportunities to talk about Jesus.. I pray every evening for opportunities to share Gods love and expose Jesus to people the next day, however that may be.. 🙂
Sounds wise to me! And great that you’re praying for these opportunities – that’s the heart of the work. We’ll speak more in the next episode about how the words we speak – when we get to them – are powerful too!
God bless
Thanks for the reply Glen.
By the way – I’ve only just seen all your comments for the first time. So sorry we haven’t gotten back to you sooner. We’ll put better systems in place in future.
Every blessing in Jesus
