This is my biggest struggle in evangelism! I'm ready to nerd out about Jesus at any given time but I'm always scared to start a conversation. Thanks for the advice
@@WiseDisciple Update time! My roommate this semester is gay and at first it seemed like he felt uncomfortable around me because he knew I was a Christian. I tried implementing the tips you gave and we've had many deep conversations about faith so far! One lasted 3 hours and we both cried. He doesn't seem interested in christ just yet, but its clear the holy spirit is up to something. Thanks you so much for the advice!

Thanks for this. I get stressed when trying to talk to folks, and remembering simple truths about conversation can be very helpful. Though: part of the stress is good, I imagine, since we have to remember that we must rely on Jesus, rather than treating such situations as 'no big deal', I think.

Even when I see evidence that a person has an interest in spiritual things, I’m usually careful to not ask pointed questions too soon. On the other hand, Christianity is an historical religion, not only in the sense that it has been around for thousands of years. Faith is the evidence of things not seen. Most of the evidence is historical in nature. So, when I don’t see evidence of an interest in spiritual things, I first (almost always) try to determine whether the person is a) already interested in history or b) can be induced to talk about some aspect of history.

I feel God is calling me to evangelize but I am super nervous about it because, from my experience, people are not too perceptive about hearing about Jesus. They either turn you away or are ready to engage in a religious debate. I am unsure if I can represent him well.
just speak slowly "hello/shallom(smile) my name is .. i want to share something with you quickly. what your name? ask about their belief what happen if we died? how to go to heaven? then share the gospel of Jesus just speak slowly. you can do it
i dont have a problem evangelising to people i know. or even in a random conversations with random people when the subject of religion is brought up.... however, when i have to initiate on a random place towards random people...? yea. no. i have evangelised to people that i know. and will never deny Christ and what he has done for me. but i dont know man when i have to initiate to random people? pray for me please.
Like yesterday just share the Good news..it works. I also addressed the gay community haha! 'no homosapz in Heaven' but Hell wasn't made for mankind. I'd rather be in the Hoodz. 'The Good News' Ps. a brutha & a sis rocked up yesterday & said 'Hey bro..I had nothing to do last Sunday so me & the sis went to church'. The sis 'I know the Lord more than him' aahh! So I replied 'we need more labourers & the best ones are you guys..most churches dont outreach so I encourage home church too'..& everybody saw it.

Asking people to be as perceptive as Sherlock Holmes is asking a bit much, don't you think? BTW, at 4:25 you said almost verbatim what Greg Koukl says in some of his talks, only he met a Wiccan or a pagan or something. Did you get that idea from Greg, or was that just a coincidence?
No, especially since I said you don’t have to be as good as Sherlock. People love to correct you if they’re wrong. Also, that response is totally from Greg, who’s a mentor, of sorts, and a friend 😊

I wonder if you have considered moderating debates? As much for the debaters and audience as for for the topic of the debate. An opportunity to teach people how to debate as they are debating and as your audience watch and learn. Also rosaries are not typically necklaces for most Catholics. They are not jewelry but a tool to help with meditating. ☺️ Also Columbo>Sherlock 🤷🏻♀️.
Columbo???? 😱 Gasp 😱 Lol! Thanks for the comment. You’re not the first person to bring up the question of moderating. These debate reaction videos are basically what I would do with my students in the classroom to help them better identify arguments and provide proper responses. And that’s the same spirit I’m attempting in the debate series. In real debates, though, to do what I think you’re suggesting (which is, to moderate in a manner that stops and/or guides and corrects opponents) is rather gauche. It’s understood that judges keep track of what the opponents do, good and bad, and consider all of that when judging.
@@WiseDisciple hello this was really good I struggle with this area how to witness and talk to people I was wondering if you have a more specific talk on this more deep like what to say
Do it For God my bro/sis always remember that the word pf God will bring Salvation to those who BELIEVE not out will but Gods will be Done Amen! Glory to God, God bless
Argh!! Why do I always forget to ask people "why do you say/think/believe that?" I'll ask it once and then immediately want to go to the facts (that, let's face it, is gone from my brain the moment I face someone who says something silly about God) and only later realise asking more questions would've been more effective.

Not at all. You have free will. But if we were to say we care about one another as humanity and then didn’t share the gospel with you, we would prove ourselves liars. I don’t know you, but I don’t want you to experience the consequences of deliberate separation from God through rejection of Christ. What should I care, right? Because when I truly believe and receive the grace of God through Jesus, He softens my heart to feel more like His heart. And once that happens, the love God has towards his creation, you, transfers from His spirit to mine and my heart softens. But please don’t take it as a directive. It’s purely and with good intention a warning of what’s ahead so you can make an informed choice. God bless you in whatever choice you make. ❤

sup brother get closer to God and talk to them about your testimony. Dont forget evangelizsm is about your relationship with God. Pray to Him

just speak slowly
"hello/shallom(smile) my name is .. i want to share something with you quickly.
what your name?
ask about their belief
what happen if we died?
how to go to heaven?
then share the gospel of Jesus

so you are saying to not read off paphlets that were printed in the 80s? So your saying we shouldn't behave like mindless pull string dolls?

I'd rather not be a manipulative person.
You demand that I respect and live by your beliefs, but you refuse to respect my right to believe what I wish. Is it fair enough ?
Not even close. Christians “demand” no such thing. We just have good news that we want to share out of love and respect for others.
Not at all. You have free will.
But if we were to say we care about one another as humanity and then didn’t share the gospel with you, we would prove ourselves liars. I don’t know you, but I don’t want you to experience the consequences of deliberate separation from God through rejection of Christ. What should I care, right?
