    munch_scream2Many books on personal evangelism tell stories of personal fear.  Evangelism is scary for many, for a variety of reasons?  Why does one have to be brave?

    Here is a list that I have compiled over the years of teaching workshops and seminars and the most common responses that I get to the question “Why are you afraid of evangelism?”

    Bad experiences

    • Door to Door
    • Drive-by Evangelists
    • Pushy televangelists
    • “My friend was obnoxious with me.”
    • Clumsy Apologetics (being caught without answers)

    Emotions

    • Fear of Rejection
    • Losing a friendship
    • Fear of offending
    • Feeling inadequate
    • Embarrassment over unanswerable questions

    Perceptions

    • Fear of what others will think about you.
    • Rudely Interrupting somebody’s life
    • Being seen as arrogant
    • Your own weakness, hypocrisies, and inadequacies
    • Personal Doubt

    Guilt

    • Pastor says so.
    • Jesus says so.
    • To mess up somebody’s eternity destiny is your fault

    Let me ask you this?
