ANECDOTE

Paul and Daniel's Marketplace Approach

  • Daniel shares his personal experience reasoning with people in New York City marketplaces just like Paul did in Athens.
  • He found that approaching anyone willing to listen was the starting point for meaningful gospel conversations.
INSIGHT

Paul's Tactful Mars Hill Speech

  • Paul tactfully uses the Athenians' altar to the unknown God as a bridge to introduce the true God.
  • Quoting their poets, he relates the gospel in language familiar and respectful to his audience.
ADVICE

Use Familiar Beliefs to Engage

  • Use what people already accept as truth to introduce new gospel concepts.
  • Avoid confrontational or harsh preaching which often alienates listeners instead of engaging them.
