Episode 231: Everyday Evangelism | David Bennett

Hole In My Heart Podcast

Friday, December 6, 2024 - 51 minutes

We LOVED this conversation.

In the midst of divisive ... everything… in the world today, it reminded us about what really matters: JESUS. THE GOSPEL. And that sharing Jesus (evangelism) is an absolute joy when you love Him.

Theologian, author, and our friend, David Bennett, is the one who reminds us of our first love (Jesus), and also helps us think through:

—Why should we tell people about Jesus?
How can we make it less awkward?
Should it feel natural to us?
What if people respond poorly?

| Highlights |

“If I was married, I would tell people how amazing my spouse is all the time because I like to share good things with people. If you’re in love with Someone, you talk about them. That’s my favorite form of evangelism.” —David Bennett
“Why do I love evangelism? Because I get to see God—Jesus—born in someone. There is nothing better than that in the world.” —David Bennett
“When you realize, ‘I ain’t got nothing’—that’s when you’re the best evangelist. Because I don’t have anything. Even with all my degrees, who cares? What matters is that Jesus died and rose again and he’s awesome and there’s nothing better in life and people need that and are perishing and it’s urgent.” —David Bennett
