We love to share good news with the world. We tweet about a great
new restaurant, we share pictures of our newborn child and we
celebrate about receiving that sought-after promotion. We are
evangelists for many great things. So why don't we do the same with
Jesus? Simply put, Jesus is awkward for most of us. He's like that
uncle who is really funny inside the family circle, but truthfully
you would rather not take him anywhere. You know Jesus is great
news. He is changing your life, he is giving you purpose and he has
saved your soul. So how can you move out of your comfort zone and
beyond the awkwardness to share the life-transforming power of God
with others? Apostolic evangelist Beau Crosetto has spent years
working with college students and churchgoers to help them break
through to people in their everyday lives. Here, he moves you not
only beyond the awkward feelings but through them so you can
confidently take hold of evangelistic opportunities you encounter
everywhere you go. In this practical, personal guide, Crosetto
takes into account reasons we are not sharing our faith--the
negative image of slick or pushy evangelists, the fear of not
knowing enough or the dread of saying the wrong thing. He also
reveals a dangerous lack of vocational empowerment in most churches
today, reminding us that Ephesians 4 calls us to five roles:
apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd and teacher. Why do we seem
to be empowering only the pastoring roles of shepherd and teacher?
If we are serious about the Great Commission, we must be serious
about activating all five. People eager to hear the good news about
Jesus are waiting for you, desperate for answers and guidance. If
you grab hold of that reality and learn to listen to the nudgings
of the Holy Spirit, you will be prepared to push past the
awkwardness and step into the God moments waiting for you.
