Episode notes
Evangelism Is Like Gardening
- Evangelism resembles planting a seed that needs right conditions to grow.
- We can't make growth happen but we can remove obstacles and prepare soil for the gospel.
Meet The Person First
- Treat each Muslim you meet as a unique person and listen to their story first.
- Avoid assuming they fit a single cultural or theological mold before you ask questions.
Build Real Trust Through Friendship
- Invest time to build genuine friendships and trust with Muslims rather than rushing to convert them.
- Use hospitality wisely (offer halal or vegetarian food) and reciprocate when invited.
