How do I share the Gospel with my atheist friend?

We’re wrapping up our “Evangelism when…” series with InterVarsity Alumna and current Campus Staff Minister, Lacey Hansen. And Lacey’s going to share her own story of evangelism with a friend who has communicated no real interest in changing her mind about Jesus or Christianity. And yet, just by being a thoughtful friend over the years and making contextualized invitations, Lacey has seen her friend take meaningful steps in curiosity and openness. Lacey’s going to provide some practical tools for our evangelism toolkit and help us continue to simply be thoughtful friends who love Jesus.

If you’ve been wondering about how to share your faith with an atheist friend after graduation, this episode is for you.

How am I supposed to talk about Jesus in a new town where I don’t know anyone?

We’re continuing our "Evangelism When…" series this week. Getting used to a new place can be tough. Learning where the best coffee shops are, finding the quickest route to work, testing out new community. And speaking of community, how do we share the Gospel when we don't know anyone yet?

This week, we're wrapping our minds around how to develop relationships in new spaces so we can build trust and share the Gospel. AND we're learning how to be ready to share even if we haven’t developed that kind of bond with someone yet.

How do I share Jesus with someone who practices a different faith?

We’re continuing our “Evangelism when…” series this week with a conversation about navigating the complexities of evangelism with a friend who’s invested in a faith practice other than Christianity. Turns out, it has a lot more to do with connecting and far less with convincing. (Pro tip… we’re learning that’s the case in most scenarios.)

We’re joined by Eva Glick, Associate Director with InterVarsity’s International Student ministry department. Eva is passionate about students and alumni like you developing meaningful relationships with people from different countries, cultures, and faith backgrounds. And Eva is going to help us prepare for representing Jesus well with our friends and neighbors who practice another faith.
