Listen "Proselytizing vs. Sharing Jesus"

Episode Synopsis

This episode dissects the differences between coercive proselytizing and respectful evangelism, emphasizing the role of the Holy Spirit. Proselytizing often carries a negative connotation, implying force or coercion, which can be off-putting and counterproductive. I argue for a more subtle, respectful approach to evangelism that aligns with Christ's teachings and the comforts of the Holy Spirit's work. By changing our perspective from "convincing" to "inviting," we can open the door for the Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of those we interact with.
