Believe #20: Sharing Our Faith

[Proclamation] "is most often a quiet conversation between one person and another on the road, often about life’s deepest questions. Phillip had no idea where this whole encounter would go; he didn’t strategize it or plan it. He simply followed the Spirit’s lead, joined the man on his journey, and confessed his faith when the conversation went there." —Patrick W. T. Johnson, "Proclamation as Conversation on the Road" Missional Preaching website 4/28/2015

The Dirty Harry and Old Yeller illustrations are Gottschal's.

Be Real

"If we are trying to make church, faith, and Christian living real, testimonies need to get real, too. We can’t act like our struggles magically disappeared when we accepted Christ." —What We Get Wrong About 'Giving Our Testimony': How you're being saved is as important as how you got saved."
