Evangelism has almost become a dirty word in our culture. Sadly, it’s not all that different in many churches. We either go all-in with enthusiasm only to find that most people aren’t interested, or we’ve quietly given up on it altogether. But what if we’re missing the heart of evangelism?

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll define what true biblical evangelism is (and what it’s not) while uncovering the 7 worst evangelism mistakes Christians make today.

Even when we’re confident in our faith and what the Bible teaches, how we communicate and carry ourselves speaks volumes about who God is. God isn’t pushy—he’s patient. He’s gentle, loving, and always available. Our approach to evangelism should reflect that same heart.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What the Bible actually teaches about evangelism.
• Are all Christians called to be evangelists?
• Why so many believers are looking for ways to “opt out” of evangelizing.
• The 7 biggest evangelism mistakes today—and a better way forward.

• How our current standards of success are very different than Jesus’.
• What happens when we begin to measure and fund different goals.
