Kyle Worley is joined by Joe Allen to answer the question; if God calls, why evangelize?

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• If God calls, why evangelize?
• Is my obedience to evangelism of consequence or of faithfulness?
• If I go out today and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with my neighbor, am I walking in faithfulness to what God has said?
• If I go out and share the gospel with my neighbor today, can I have confidence God will do what I cannot do?
