In this episode we discuss the vital importance of sharing the Gospel, and we ask ourselves some difficult questions about our sharing Jesus habits.

Other episodes referenced in this one:
Episode 21: "I never knew you"

Access resources to aid in telling others about Jesus

I mentioned videos from the recent sharing Jesus workshop that we did at Mentoring Men for the Master. I will include the links to those below for any who are interested. (Please note that many of the videos are shorter because we provided additional time those weeks for the small groups to practice and discuss sharing the Gospel.)

**CORRECTIONS*
At one point when quoting John 4:35, I accidentally omitted part of the verse. The other times I read it, I read that part correctly. However, here is the verse: "Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest."
When I said, "Seeking out people; saving people; restoring people to relationship with God; forgiving our sins" I was referring to what Jesus does. I was not implying that we ourselves can save people, restore them to relationship with God, or forgive their sins. Nevertheless, Jesus works through us.
I paraphrased John 7:17. Here is the exact quote: "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority."
