What We’re Still Talking About 05: Evangelism
Have you ever wanted to share the gospel with another mom, but held back out of fear? While some of us may have the God-given gift of evangelism (Eph. 4:11), all of us are called to make disciples—but what does this look like in the context of everyday mom life? In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss what it means to be a faithful presence in our communities, showing our neighbors what it looks like to hope in Christ. There are a lot of reasons it can feel scary or hard to share the good news of the gospel with those we know, but we can trust that as we pursue obedience in Christ, the Holy Spirit is working in us to bear fruit in our life and the lives of others.

R|M Apply Questions:
Read Matthew 28:19-20. What would it look like to reframe your everyday rhythms through the lens of our calling to ‘make disciples of all nations’?
Spend some time focusing on Jesus’ promise in v. 20: “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” How does this change your reservations or fears about sharing the gospel with others?
Consider your social circles: your neighbors, other parents at school, or another mom on the playground. What would it look like to be a faithful presence in your community, showing those around you the light of Christ?
Emily and Laura talk about both the non-verbal and verbal aspects of evangelism. Think through a few specific ways that you can be a witness to Christ’s work in your life through how you act or care for others—does your behavior reflect your hope in Christ? Then, list out a few specific ways you can share the good news of the gospel in conversation with others as you grow relationships with them.
Spend time in prayer, asking that the Lord would help you to see those around you as fellow image-bearers, not ‘projects.’ Thank him for your story of salvation, and ask the Spirit to humble you and remind you that you were once lost, and Christ saved you. If he can change your heart, he can change your friend’s as well.
