Why It's Tougher to Share the Gospel Next Door Than Abroad
When we talk about doing ministry, sometimes, oftentimes, maybe all the time, it is so easy for me to want to go into the prison and minister to people I don't know, or go to a foreign country or a different continent to go and minister to strangers, and I can feel completely free to do that, yet to talk to my mother about Christ to talk to our kids, or maybe a neighbor a little bit more hesitant?
Ever wondered why it feels easier to share your faith with strangers halfway around the world than with your next-door neighbor? In this episode of the 'Mess It Up Podcast', Bow Tie Guy reunites with his old friend, Listener Bev from California, to unpack this curious phenomenon. They dive into their own experiences, reflecting on the hurdles and hesitations that often come with spreading the gospel close to home.
With candid stories and practical advice, they explore why we might find it more comfortable to talk about our beliefs with distant strangers than with those we see every day. This episode isn't just about sharing faith; it's about stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing vulnerability. To add a musical touch, there's also an inspiring Song of the Week from Jeremy Camp. If you're looking for encouragement and some heartfelt discussion on faith, this episode is a must-listen.
