Summary

Everyone has someone in their life that they hope comes to know our loving God. Who is that for you? In today’s episode of God Hears Her, Elisa and Eryn compile a list of faith-sharing tips that can guide us through conversations with those on our “Most Wanted List”—those we most want to know Jesus. Join along and hear how God can use us as a voice for Him.

Notes and Quotes:

Make a “Most Wanted List”: A list of people you most want to come to know the God you love.
“There is somebody in everybody’s mind that they wish would come to know the God they love.”
People who don’t know Jesus think of people who do know Jesus as hypocritical, judgmental, or too political.
“A really big reason I don’t talk about Jesus that much is because I’m afraid I am going to get it wrong.”
“You really can’t argue with a story. So if we can be as confident in our story (that involves our faith and God) as someone is with their story, then we don’t need to apologize for who God is. We can simply share who He has been to us.”
Faith Sharing Tips: Know what your story is, know how to tell your story, know how to ask other people about their story, know how to explain beyond the jargon of our faith, share through your actions, pray.
Understand that Jesus “has” the person you love. The timing and end result may not be the same as you want, but He has them.
Trust and believe that God will provide the words when you are trying to share about Him.
“In the end we do our own work by trusting that God has this.”

0:14.6	I remember longing for my mom who she told me she knew Jesus as a child, but then in her adult years, I didn't see
0:22.6	so much evidence of it. And I was very zealous and, you know, wanting to save my mom. And she died
0:30.1	when I was 34. And on her deathbed, I watched her reaching out to the space next to me. It was the
0:37.4	most bizarre thing. And so I'd kind of
0:39.5	pushed my body over so she could see me better. Yeah. And she just gently pull me back out
0:44.4	of that empty space and reach out into that empty space. And I was like, Mother, do you see
0:48.2	something? And she could barely talk and she said, Jesus. And I remember after she died, having this overwhelming sense of comfort that she was with him.

1:18.5	Welcome to God Hears Her. I'm Erin Eddy. And I'm Alisa Morgan. I'm going to say a word that
1:24.4	makes a lot of us bristle. Are you ready? Evangelism. What comes to mind?
1:30.9	Do you feel pressure? Obligation? Do you picture a street preacher with a sandwich board sign of
1:38.2	condemnation and hatred yelling at people? Or maybe you don't have a negative response at all?
1:45.6	Maybe you think of someone with whom you just shared the good news about the love of God and she responded with joy,
1:50.0	and it changed her whole life. Or maybe you think of someone who shared the good news with you,
1:55.5	and it changed your life. Regardless of how we feel, sharing the love of God with others is important. And today we're
2:04.0	going to talk about some fresh ways to do that that will hopefully show how contagious our faith
2:10.1	actually is. Here's Elisa as she asks us to make a most wanted list. But it's probably not what you think, or at least what I thought.
2:20.9	This is God hears her. Somebody challenged me to do this one time. What do you think it means?
