Title: Questioning Evangelism: Engaging People’s Hearts the Way Jesus Did
Topic: Book Review

Discussed by Randy Newman
with Connection Points (www.connectionpoints.us)

When it comes to evangelism, do you feel pressured to know all the answers? What if you didn’t have to worry about having all the right answers, but instead knew the right questions to ask in return?

Randy Newman is the Senior Fellow for Evangelism and Apologetics at The C. S. Lewis Institute in Washington, DC. After serving for more than thirty years with Campus Crusade for Christ, Randy established Connection Points, a ministry to help Christians engage people's hearts the way Jesus did.

Today, Randy discusses his book, “Questioning Evangelism: Engaging People’s Hearts the Way Jesus Did”, which is in its second edition.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are we, as followers of Christ, commanded to share our testimony?

Why doesn’t God use inanimate objects to proclaim the Gospel?

There has always been opposition to proclaiming the Gospel, but in some way, it seems more challenging in today’s world. Are there “updated” ways to communicate in order to grab someone’s attention other than just “preaching”?

Why is it better to ask questions than to give answers when it comes to evangelism? Listen as Randy Newman reminds us of Jesus’ approach to explaining the Gospel to others: through questions and telling stories…

What are some good “starter questions” to initiate a conversation with an unbeliever or skeptic? What are some follow-up questions?

What are the most common excuses Christians use for not sharing their faith? Randy offers encouragement to those who do not believe they have the skills and knowledge to carry on an evangelistic conversation.
