Hindrances to Evangelism
EvangelismSteve Gregg
Explore the hindrances to evangelism as highlighted by Steve Gregg, including apathy, fear, rejection, and cultural isolation. While Jesus encouraged compassion and emphasized the worth of each individual soul, often we may find ourselves lacking concern or enthusiasm for sharing the gospel. Apathy can dampen our eagerness to evangelize, while fear of rejection and judgment can paralyze our efforts. Additionally, cultural isolation and a lack of shared presuppositions can hinder effective communication and connection with others. Recognizing and addressing these hindrances can empower us to overcome obstacles and fulfill our role as ambassadors of the Kingdom.
