Many hear the call to be bold and share their faith. But how exactly does this look for the believer, especially in the complicated & divisive world we find ourselves in? Lee Strobel and Mark Mittelberg, in their article titled "The Missing Person Your Church Desperately Needs," outline why they believe it is so vital for those in the church to learn how to productively share their faith. They provide simple & practical ways that we as believers can share our faith, how to respond to our increasingly hostile society we find ourselves in, and the importance of "joining the team" to reach the world with who we are and what we're wired to do. Lee and Mark also share about the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics and how it is so relevant for this topic.
