About this episode

The episode discusses how to approach evangelism when prompted by the Holy Spirit to talk to strangers.

How would you respond if the Holy Spirit randomly prompted you to share the Gospel with someone you don’t know? Most of us would feel more than a little nervous. And that’s how April felt when she was told to invite Marcia, the barista at her local coffee shop, to church. The catch… they’d only interacted two times before. And neither interaction went well. Which is why Marcia’s response to the interaction was so unexpected. We’re continuing our evangelism series this week. And InterVarsity alumna and veteran InterVarsity staff, April Foat, joins to help us prepare for “Evangelism when… I’m talking to a stranger.” RELATED EPISODE Evangelism When… I’m at Work (E205) - Apple , Spotify , YouTube STAY IN TOUCH Socials: @afterivpod Visit our Website ★ Support this podcast ★
