“I’d love to help, but I’m just too busy.”“I really want to get more involved…but life is crazy right now.”“I know I should spend more time with God, but there’s just so much going on.” Sound familiar? We’ve all said it. Life moves fast—work deadlines, family commitments, kids’ activities, social obligations. There’s always something demanding…
Honesty moment—what’s the first thing you reach for in the morning? Is it your Bible or your phone? For most people, it’s not even a question. The phone wins. Emails, texts, social media, news updates—it all floods in before our feet even hit the floor. And whether we admit it or not, that little device…
You’re stressing over things you have zero control over. And it’s killing your joy. It’s thwarted your productivity. And your peace of mind is anything but peaceful!

Have you ever felt disconnected from God? Like you pray for things and nothing changes? Like you ask and he just doesn’t answer?

Evangelism is not a program, a ministry, or an optional add-on to our Christian walk. It’s not reserved for the extroverts, the theologians, or the church staff.
