Ever wondered why sharing your faith feels so awkward?  Today, we tackle this head-on, dismantling the popular myth “preach the Gospel, when necessary use words.” Through powerful Scripture and personal insight, it reveals how Jesus modeled evangelism through both actions and words, working in harmony.  Demonstrating how authentic faith-sharing naturally flows from relationships and daily life lived for Christ in word and action.  Not just talking the talk but walking the walk, and not just walking the walk, but doing it while talking the talk.   We have addressed what Evangelism is over the past several weeks. This message begins to ask how we do it and will equip us with practical wisdom for telling our story of transformation—discover how our unique testimony can open doors to meaningful Gospel conversations in and through how we live.
