Section 5: Share the Gospel
Evangelism is a word that can often be associated with politics or church denominations, but its meaning has nothing to do with it. At its core, the word means sharing the good news that Jesus has changed your life.
Sharing the gospel (aka the good news of Jesus) is a core part of following Jesus. It can seem like a daunting task, but it does not have to be. Spend some time looking at and understanding the resources below that are designed to help equip you to share your faith with confidence.

- ASK – Ask people questions. As you get to know them, begin asking questions about their beliefs.
- ADMIRE – Admire good things about what they believe even if it is different from what you believe.
- ADMIT – Admit the reason you are a Christian is because you are messed up and you needed Jesus to save you. Share the Gospel with them going into as much detail as context allows.
- ASK - Ask “Did that make sense?” “What is holding you back from putting your faith in Jesus right now?” “Would you be interested in talking about this again soon?”
