Evangelism is what burns deep inside of me, that passion to share my faith with the many people I come into contact with when God allows the conversation to go in His direction, or for when He just nudges me to speak to someone. Not in a cringeworthy way (I recently watched a video on youtube about how Starbucks would be if it were a church) but in a relational way. I had a really tricky conversation a week ago with a peer who sited my two degrees in science and engineering as being in complete conflict with my belief in something that had no evidence and I must confess I felt that I was getting out of my depth, I almost feel it was a “get my head in the books call” as it can get quite tricky at times defending ones faith without alienating the person you are speaking to. Some days I get that great buzz when I feel that God has sown a seed through me… but sometimes I can walk away feeling really inadequate. I crave understanding and knowledge!
