On this episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I chatted with my real-life friend Cierra Bragan about sharing life and the Gospel both locally and cross-culturally. We talked about everything from feeling the nervous jitters before we share our faith, to fighting off feelings of inadequacy and trusting that our confidence in sharing should rest in the conviction of who we know Christ to be and what he is capable of. Throughout the entire interview Cierra beautifully articulates the Gospel and encourages us to rest IN the Gospel at all times. She said, “What he requires he supplies, and he’s done that in Jesus. That’s just beautiful. It’s not Jesus plus, or Jesus in addition to my good works, or Jesus in addition to my Sunday School attendance. It is Christ alone.”   CIERRA’S RESOURCES Missionary Biographies Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot Journals of Jim Elliot by Jim Elliot Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot by Elisabeth Elliot To the Golden Shore: The Life of Adoniram Judson by Courtney Anderson John Hyde: Apostle of Prayer by Francis McGaw Let the Nations Be Glad by John Piper Cross-Cultural Servanthood: Serving the World in Christlike Humility by Duane Elmer The Valley of Vision (A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions)   CIERRA’S SIMPLE JOYS Warm days to be outside Bubble bath Chick-fil-a vanilla iced coffee   OTHER RESOURCES Evangelism Explosion by D.
