Thanks for coming to the Confident Christianity Conference at St Johns in Woking recently! It was great to see so many of you there and for Solas to partner with Surrey Gospel Partnership to put the event on.
As promised, you can find my slides from the evening — as well as resources related to some of the questions in the Q&A — here:
Presentation Slides
Q&A Topics
- How can we not lose sight of the person we’re talking to (so that people don’t become projects)?
- Article: https://www.psephizo.com/life-ministry/evangelism-and-listening/
- Book: Questioning Evangelism by Randy Newman
- How can I witness to someone who has attended all the courses etc but not really got anywhere, and who I don’t have the same depth of relationship with as before?
- How do I talk about Jesus with someone who says they’re a Christian but whose lifestyle doesn’t suggest so?
- Borrowing Augustine’s levels of happiness framework, do you agree that Christians sometimes think they’re at level 4 when in fact they’re at level 3?
- Any advice on talking with family members about faith?
- Sometimes sharing the gospel with family members can be difficult because they know our faults so well! https://www.solas-cpc.org/the-hypocrisy-gap/
- Do you think spiritual hunger is growing or lessening culturally?
