10 devotional questions about your evangelism habits to ask yourself

Self-reflection with devotional questions around the theme of personal evangelism is a good habit to cultivate.

This kind of self-reflection allows us to look upon our feelings, actions, and thoughts around the frequency of faith sharing conversations.

It allows us to see holes in our evangelism habits. We might discover a personal growth step to improve our ability to communicate the gospel.

It might be the Lord might draw our attention to the next person we should invite to church.

Self-reflection is good for our personal growth, but do not allow your inner critic to demoralize you.

How you can practice self-reflection around personal evangelism

1. Write in a Journal

I have found that journaling helps me grow comfortable in talking about my faith when I write my observations or conversations and reflect on them.

It’s a good practice to follow, and will help you in the future. It has been a practice that has been deeply beneficial in my life, particularly in removing fear from my practice of personal evangelism.

2. Ask Questions

Asking questions is crucial for self-reflection. Without questions, there are no answers. The questions below give you a great start. Each one can be followed up with questions like:

When?
What happened?
What could I do different?
What skill can I improve to do better next time?
What can I do in the coming week to make more time for conversations?
