Afraid To Tell Others About Jesus?

By my own confession, personal evangelism hasn't always been something easy for me, or something that even came naturally. It was a conviction that grew and developed over time. Despite growing up going to church and even attending a Christian college, I discovered that I was actually ashamed of the gospel. 

I was ashamed of the gospel because, by it's very nature, the gospel is offensive. I didn't like offending people and I didn't like people looking at me weird. So, like most Christians, I never talked about Jesus with lost people. 

Recently I had the opportunity to be on the "Live from the Path" radio show and on that episode we talked a lot about evangelism. In this episode, I share my struggle with this more in depth and how God has done a lot of work on my heart to move me from being a disobedient coward to an imperfect person who tries to take advantage of every opportunity I can for the sake of the gospel.

Check out this seven minute clip (below) where I talk about my own struggle with being ashamed of the gospel and how the truth of God's Word has helped lead me and convict me to live Romans 1:16 more honestly, more often. If you've ever felt afraid to share the gospel, or tell others about Jesus, it's my prayer that this video is helpful to you.
