Sharing the Gospel
You Begin, God finishes
I reached out to Cameron about doing a podcast as soon as I came back from Montreal. I knew summer was going to be busy and we recorded really early in the morning. Cameron shared very profound ideas during our conversation. One of them was, “You begin and God finishes.”
He says if you don’t know what to say simply open your mouth like Peter and Paul did and God will finish the rest. Cameron recommends using the words, “In my life, God has…. and automatically you’ll be able to finish.
One of the major takeaways from today’s podcast, is “Pray for the opportunity to share the Good News. Just the words, “Come Holy Spirit” before you begin a conversation will work wonders, says O’Hearn.
Three Steps to Share the Good News
- Ask questions
- Be Yourself
- Share what makes you passionate
And Cameron’s best advice, if you don’t know what to say, simply share the same of Jesus. He says, “the name of Jesus is the only word that contains the presence it signifies!” Wow!
What I loved about this podcast, is that despite Cameron being a trained evangelist, he shares his own moments where he thinks he’s failed to be faithful to God. But through those moments, God is probably teaching so many of us. The fear is common to all. And Cameron says, “Don’t overthink it.” I’m grateful for the advice he shared because through his own honest confession and personal life, he’s demonstrated how we can evangelize. That in itself takes a lot of courage.
And so while a shy introvert myself, I have avoided this form of one to one evangelization. I pray that I may have more courage to share the Good News with other people. What about you? How do you go about doing sharing the Good News?
