Why do so many Christians feel awkward about sharing their faith, especially in traditions that once used the word Evangelical? In this conversational episode, Pastor Steve and members of the congregation explore the history behind the term, why many Lutherans tend to avoid conflict, and how simple, everyday encounters, like talking with someone at the dog park about the church comfort dog named Joy, can lead to natural spiritual conversations. The group reflects on experiences from the 70s and 80s, the influence of large revival events, and why outreach can sometimes feel intrusive. Together, they offer down to earth ideas for sharing hope with gentleness and respect. They emphasize invitation instead of argument, using relationships and shared interests, and allowing small acts of kindness and prayer to naturally open doors.
