Week 1: Embracing the Call

The Foundation of Biblical Evangelism

We begin by addressing the hard questions: Why do most Christians feel inadequate to share the gospel? What does the Bible actually say evangelism is? And how do we define success in a way that frees us from fear rather than creating more pressure?

You’ll discover that evangelism is simpler than you think—it’s the proclamation of the gospel to a person. Success isn’t based on their response but on your faithfulness. This foundational week sets the tone for everything that follows.

Key Takeaway: You don’t need to be perfect to start. You just need to be faithful.

Week 2: The Power of God’s Testimony

Moving from Subjective Experience to Objective Truth

Too often, we share our faith as if it’s just another personal preference—”Jesus works for me.” But what if there’s something more powerful? This week explores the difference between sharing your testimony and sharing God’s testimony about His Son through fulfilled prophecy and Scripture.

Learn how to use Old Testament prophecies to demonstrate that Christianity isn’t just true for you—it’s objectively true for everyone.

Key Takeaway: God’s testimony through prophecy carries more weight than personal experience alone.

Week 3: Empowered Evangelism

When the Spirit Opens Doors

What’s the connection between being filled with the Spirit and evangelism? In Acts, nearly every time believers were filled with the Spirit, they proclaimed the gospel boldly. This week teaches you how to pray for open doors (Colossians 4:2-4) and recognize them when God provides them.

Discover how prayer and proclamation work together, and why one without the other is incomplete.

Key Takeaway: Effective evangelism requires both waiting on God’s timing and stepping out in obedient action.

Week 4: Unleashing the Power of God’s Word

Sharing Jesus Without Fear

Bill Fay’s method has equipped thousands of believers to share their faith naturally. Using five simple questions and letting people read Scripture for themselves, this approach removes the pressure of having all the answers while letting God’s Word do the heavy lifting.

Learn why having someone read the Bible aloud can be more powerful than quoting it to them.

Key Takeaway: Let Scripture speak for itself—you don’t have to defend it, just share it.

Week 5: Lighting the Way

The Power of Service in Evangelism

Sometimes the most powerful sermon is preached without words. This week explores how acts of service can demolish stereotypes and open hearts that arguments never could. Through real stories from 11+ years of service evangelism, discover how meeting practical needs creates opportunities for gospel conversations.

But remember: Service without evangelism is just humanitarianism. Learn to pair good deeds with good news.

Key Takeaway: In a world full of words, simple acts of service create shocking contrast.

Week 6: The Forgotten Power of God’s Law

When Good People Don’t Need Jesus

“I’m a good person. I don’t need saving.” How do you respond to that? This controversial but biblical method uses God’s law to help people recognize their need for a Savior. Like a doctor who diagnoses before prescribing, we need to help people understand the problem before offering the solution.

Learn why the law isn’t “old covenant stuff we’ve moved past” but a vital tool for evangelism.

Key Takeaway: Nobody takes medicine without a diagnosis—help people see their need for the cure.

Week 7: Preaching and Teaching

Open-Air Preaching and Public Proclamation

The most biblical method is often the most criticized—even by Christians. This week examines why public proclamation matters and how to do it faithfully. Whether you ever preach on a street corner or not, you’ll learn the four essential elements of any gospel presentation: God, Man, Christ, and Response.

Not everyone is called to open-air preaching, but everyone should be ready to proclaim the gospel anywhere.

Key Takeaway: The method matters less than the message, but let’s stop attacking biblical methods we find uncomfortable.

Week 8: Apologetics Without Arguments

The Power of Questions in Faith Conversations

Our final week might surprise you. Instead of loading you with arguments to win debates, we focus on two simple questions that can navigate any conversation: “What do you mean by that?” and “How did you come to that conclusion?”

Learn why taking on burdens of proof that aren’t yours often backfires, and how asking good questions can be more powerful than having all the answers.

Key Takeaway: We’re not trying to win arguments—we’re testifying to truth.

1. Biblical Foundation Over Human Methods

Every approach taught is grounded in Scripture, not just pragmatic effectiveness.

2. Multiple Methods for Different Situations

From conversations to service, from questions to proclamation—learn various biblical approaches so you’re equipped for any opportunity.

3. Addressing Real Barriers

We don’t just teach techniques; we address the fear, misconceptions, and practical obstacles that keep Christians silent.

4. Success Redefined

Success in evangelism isn’t about results you can control—it’s about faithfulness in what God has called you to do.

Start Anywhere

While the series builds progressively, each week stands alone. Start with the topic that addresses your biggest challenge:

• Struggling with fear? Start with Week 4
• Dealing with “good people” who don’t see their need? Jump to Week 6
• Want to understand the biblical foundation? Begin at Week 1

Join the Conversation

Each post includes reflection questions and practical challenges. Share your experiences, questions, and victories in the comments. We’re all learning together.

Put It Into Practice

Knowledge without action is incomplete. Each week includes specific, practical steps you can take immediately. Don’t just learn about evangelism—do it.

“The gospel that saved us is the same gospel that can save others. We just need to open our mouths and trust God to do what only He can do.”
