Sharing Jesus with Gentle Boldness
Ministry Minded: A Podcast by Step Up To Life
10/04/24 • 53 min
We've all been tempted to overcorrect certain things in our lives. Instead of exercising self-control we might resort to a starvation diet for a season. Instead of planning ahead for the big test or presentation we might try to 'cram' just before the deadline. Humans like extremes and imbalance. We're prone to it. The same is true for sharing the Gospel. Unlike Jesus himself, we often take an 'all grace' or 'all truth' approach when trying to share the Message of Christ. On this episode we talk with evangelism pastor of Providence Church (www.ProvidenceOmaha.org), Daniel Bidne about how he came to Christ in college after mistakingly assuming he was already a Christian, how God has used his penchant for boldness and blended it with a gentleness and commitment to relationship to reach college students in and around the Omaha area with the Gospel.
