## Resource

In this episode we are discussing a popular evangelism tactic that some are relying on to spread their faith in Christ. This strategy referred to as “friendship evangelism” is the thought that we ought to first become close friends with someone before we share the gospel with them. Is this idea found in the Bible? Is this how the apostles and early church were evangelizing? Or is it possible we have developed this habit out of a fear to open our mouths and speak the good news? Hosted on Acast.
