Spreading the Gospel: A Call to Action for All
As followers of Jesus, we are all called to share the Good News with others. But often, we may feel ill-equipped or unsure of where to start. The truth is, we don’t need special training or a particular personality type to be effective in evangelism. What we do need are role models to inspire and guide us.
The Power of Role Models
Kathleen Nielson emphasizes the importance of having strong, Word-filled role models in her book, Joyfully Spreading the Word. We need voices that call us to a gospel-centered outward focus and remind us of the urgency of sharing the message of salvation. With practical examples from ten women, this book provides inspiration and guidance for learning how to faithfully share the gospel in any context.
Debunking Common Myths
Many of us may hold misconceptions about evangelism that can lead to neglecting this important aspect of our Christian lives. Kathleen Nielson identifies five common myths about evangelism that we must confront and overcome.
Confronting Fears and Embracing Opportunities
Gloria Furman encourages us to confront our fears about sharing the gospel and instead, see the opportunities that God has placed before us. Whether in our workplaces, neighborhoods, or families, we are all strategically positioned to be His witnesses.
Being Salt and Light in the World
Happy Khambule reminds us that God has intentionally placed us in particular professions and callings so that we may spread His light and salt in the world. As we go about our daily lives, we must be mindful of the opportunities to share the gospel and bring hope to those around us.
Embracing the Challenge
Trillia Newbell, Jamie Love, Megan Hill, and Shar Walker are just a few examples of women who are living out their faith and sharing the gospel in their everyday lives. Their stories inspire us to take up the challenge and join them in spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. Will you answer the call?
