Evangelize with Studio Christ!
Understanding Evangelism and The Great Commission
At Studio Christ, we believe in living and acting in the spirit and example of Jesus Christ. Evangelism, the act of sharing the message of Jesus Christ, is not only central to our faith but is a direct command from Jesus Himself, known as the Great Commission. Jesus instructed His disciples to "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19-20), and this mission continues to be our guiding principle.
What is Evangelism?
Evangelism is the proclamation of the Gospel—the good news of Jesus Christ. The Gospel encompasses the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and the offer of salvation to all who believe in Him. Evangelism involves telling others about this good news and inviting them to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. It is more than just spreading religious beliefs; it is about sharing the transformative power of Christ’s love and salvation with others.
Why is Evangelism Important?
Evangelism is vitally important for several reasons:
The Great Commission: Jesus' last command to His followers was to spread His teachings and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). This directive underscores the importance Jesus placed on evangelism.
The Will of the Father: As born-again Christians saved from eternal death, our focus must be on the will of the Father. God’s will is that no one should perish but that everyone should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). By evangelizing, we align ourselves with God’s desire for all people to know Him and receive eternal life.
Sharing God’s Love: Evangelism is an act of love. By sharing the gospel, we offer others the opportunity to experience the love, grace, and redemption found in Jesus Christ.
Transforming Lives: The message of Jesus has the power to transform lives, bringing hope, healing, and a new purpose. Through evangelism, we can be a part of God’s work in changing hearts and lives.

Common Questions About Evangelism
What if I feel nervous about evangelizing?
Feeling nervous about evangelizing is a common experience. Many people feel anxious about sharing their faith due to fear of rejection, not knowing what to say, or worrying about not having all the answers. Here are some tips to help overcome this nervousness:
Prayer: Start by praying for courage and guidance. Ask God to give you the right words and to open the hearts of those you speak to.
Preparation: Practice sharing your testimony and key aspects of the gospel message. The more familiar you are with what you want to say, the more confident you will feel.
Support: Evangelize with a partner. Having someone with you can provide support and encouragement.
Trust in God: Remember that it is God who changes hearts, not you. Your role is to be faithful in sharing the message and trust God with the results.
How do I start a conversation about faith?
Starting a conversation about faith can be challenging, but asking open-ended questions can create opportunities for meaningful dialogue. Here are some ways to begin:
Personal Stories: Share a personal story about a significant moment in your life and relate it to your faith journey.
Life Questions: Ask questions like, "What gives you hope?" or "What do you think is the purpose of life?" These can lead to deeper conversations about spiritual matters.
Current Events: Use current events or common interests as a bridge to discuss spiritual topics.
Listening: Show genuine interest in the other person’s beliefs and experiences. This builds trust and opens the door for them to ask about your faith.
How do I handle objections to Christianity?
Handling objections requires patience, respect, and a good understanding of your faith. Common objections might include questions about the existence of God, the reliability of the Bible, or the problem of suffering. Here’s how to address these:
Listen Carefully: Understand the objection fully before responding. This shows respect and helps you address the real issue.
Biblical Answers: Use Scripture to provide answers. The Bible is the foundation of our faith and has answers to many common objections.
Personal Testimony: Share how you have experienced God in your life. Personal stories can be very persuasive.
Admit Limitations: It’s okay to say, “I don’t know.” Be willing to research and follow up with answers later.
What if someone doesn’t believe in God?
Engaging with someone who doesn’t believe in God requires sensitivity and respect. Here are some strategies:
Find Common Ground: Discuss shared values or interests as a starting point.
Ask Questions: Encourage them to explain their beliefs and reasons for not believing in God. This can lead to a respectful exchange of ideas.
Share Evidence: Discuss the evidence of God’s existence in creation, historical evidence for Jesus, and personal experiences.
Be Patient: Faith journeys can take time. Respect their process and be available for ongoing conversations.
How do you know that God exists?
The existence of God is a fundamental question. Here are some points to consider when discussing this:
Creation: Point to the complexity and order of the universe as evidence of a Creator.
Conscience: Discuss the moral law within us that points to a moral Lawgiver.
Historical Evidence: Share the historical evidence for Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.
Personal Experience: Share your personal experiences of God’s presence and action in your life.
How can I believe that the Bible is true when there are so many interpretations?
The Bible’s reliability and interpretation can be complex topics. Here are some key points:
Historical Consistency: Highlight the historical accuracy and consistency of the Bible over centuries.
Fulfilled Prophecies: Discuss prophecies in the Bible that have been fulfilled.
Manuscript Evidence: Share about the large number of ancient manuscripts that support the Bible’s reliability.
Core Message: Emphasize that despite different interpretations, the core message of the Bible about God’s love and salvation through Jesus is clear and consistent.
Why should I share my faith if people might reject it?
Rejection can be discouraging, but it’s important to remember:
Obedience to Christ: We share our faith because Jesus commanded us to. Our role is to be obedient.
Planting Seeds: Even if someone rejects the message now, you may be planting seeds that will grow later.
God’s Work: Trust that God is working in ways we cannot see. Our job is to share; God’s job is to change hearts.
Eternal Perspective: The stakes are high. The potential for someone to receive eternal life makes any risk worth taking.
How can I effectively share my personal testimony?
Your personal testimony is a powerful tool. Here’s how to share it effectively:
Be Brief: Keep it concise and to the point.
Focus on Jesus: Make sure Jesus is the hero of your story, not yourself.
Relate to Your Audience: Tailor your testimony to relate to the person you’re speaking to.
Practice: Practice sharing your testimony so you can share it naturally and confidently.
What are some effective methods for evangelism?
There are many ways to evangelize. Here are some effective methods:
Personal Relationships: Build genuine relationships and share your faith naturally.
Street Evangelism: Share the gospel in public places, like parks or streets.
Digital Evangelism: Use social media, blogs, and videos to reach a wider audience.
Service and Compassion: Show Christ’s love through acts of service and kindness, then share the gospel as you build trust.
How do I know if someone is ready to hear about Jesus?
Discerning readiness requires sensitivity and prayer. Look for:
Spiritual Curiosity: Are they asking questions about faith or showing interest in spiritual topics?
Life Changes: Are they experiencing major life changes or challenges that might make them open to the gospel?
Prayer: Pray for discernment and be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
Direct Approach: Sometimes, simply asking if they are interested in hearing about Jesus can be effective.
