Episode notes
Acts Models Habitual Evangelism
- The book of Acts models consistent, context-sensitive personal evangelism as the backbone of church planting.
- Apostolic practice shows evangelism is habitual, bold, and adapted to different contexts.
Start With Low-Hanging Fruit
- Look for low-hanging fruit like people who identify as religious but lack biblical faith.
- Engage these 'religious lost' first because they are more open to gospel conversations.
Prepare For Three Encounters
- Be ready for three evangelistic scenarios: Spirit-prompted, incidental conversations, and planned set-ups.
- Prepare to act whether God nudges you, a chance encounter occurs, or you schedule a gospel meeting.
