Evangelism taps into some Christians’ fears of not being knowledgeable enough or being shamed, but it also isn’t a priority for many others. The Bible, however, calls us to tell others the good news of Christ’s sacrifice. Every blessing God gives us and every trial he brings us through is a testament of his goodness not only to us but also to others. Once we begin to live in a rhythm of evangelism, we will see incredible blessings.View podcast show notes: https://wcm.link/gwp216c

Do we desire to see who Christ is more than an answer to our prayers?View podcast show notes: https://wcm.link/gwp215c
