The world desperately needs to hear about the hope of Jesus, says Andy Frost. But when we’re told there’s only one way to evangelise, it can be scary and offputting. Here’s how to understand your natural faith-sharing profile, and get some great tips on telling your friends about God in a way that doesn’t seem weird

I have been working with local churches and individual Christians who want to become more effective at sharing their faith for more than 25 years. Over that time, I have discovered that many people feel evangelism is important - but they also feel that someone else would probably be better suited to do it than them

I’ve heard many different reasons for this: “I’m not an extrovert”; “I don’t find it easy to chat to people”; “I’m not that confident when it comes to theology”. 

These doubts and fears arise because, sometimes, we are taught certain models or methods for sharing our faith in our churches. We think this is ‘the’ way to share Jesus. And when we fail to follow the formula that we’ve been taught, we end up feeling like we’ve failed as a Christian. And it puts us off trying again.
