Expert Answer

The most effective way of sharing the gospel or preaching with a non-Christian is by first creating an intimate conversation with them. First, show them that you truly care about their life, and then truly listen to what they have to say. After gaining their confidence, you can share your personal experiences with Jesus and how He has positively affected your life. By sharing your story in a genuine way, you are more likely to meet them where they are and open up meaningful pathways for faithful discussions.

Question

Why is this specifically on how to preach the gospel? I wanted to preach something else.

Community Answer

When people speak of "preaching" they're most commonly talking about the gospel. You might find something like How to Be an Effective Public Speaker more useful.

Question

I do not have the courage and confidence to preach, but I strongly feel the drive to preach. What should I do?

Community Answer

If you sense that God is calling you, go for it! Pray about it. God doesn't call the equipped, but he equips the called. He will guide you through.
