Effective Evangelism | How to Start Conversations

Thank you for the video. May God bless y’all

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

These are key things to remember, thank you for the reminder/lesson Wise Disciple team! God bless!

Just ripped the Sherlock thing and the example of the person with the rosery necklace almost exactly from the Columbo tactic and the example Greg koukl gives in his book tactics of the lady he meets in the store and asks her if she has any religious significance for her necklace

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 🤷🏻‍♀️.

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.

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.

We want more! Love it!

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.

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.

Las Vegas?

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

Quick and easy. I needed that. God is good.

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 ?

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?

Remember a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated!

This is so simple yet so true

i just start evangelist, it was awkward for new like me, just speak slowly that always work on me.

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.
