Evangelism Isn't Weird... It's War

Let’s talk about something we often avoid: evangelism.
And before you scroll past thinking this isn't for me, hear us out. This isn’t about standing on a street corner with a megaphone. This is about realizing that following Jesus was never meant to be a private, quiet thing.

Because when it comes to sharing our faith, it’s not weird... It’s war.

Evangelism Isn’t for “Someone Else”
If you’ve ever thought, “Telling people about Jesus? That’s not really my thing…” you’re not alone. We’ve convinced ourselves it’s the job of the pastors, missionaries, or bold personalities. But Scripture says otherwise:

“Do the work of an evangelist…” — 2 Timothy 4:5
It’s not about a title or a stage, it’s about obedience. If you’ve received the hope of Jesus, you’re called to share it.

In Paul’s final letter to Timothy, written from prison and with his execution looming, his message was urgent and clear: Preach the Word. Stay ready. Share the Gospel. Finish the race.

Why We Don’t Share the Gospel
Let’s be real. Most of us don’t evangelize regularly—and here’s why:

Maybe we don’t actually know Jesus.
You can’t share what you haven’t experienced. If your faith feels more like a tradition than a relationship, it starts here.

Maybe we’ve grown apathetic.
We’ve forgotten what it means to be lost. But Jesus didn’t. His heart broke for the crowds. He wept for cities. And He reminded us: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” (Matthew 9)

Maybe we’re uncomfortable.
Let’s just call it out: sharing your faith can feel awkward. But the enemy wants us to believe we’ll look weird. That we’ll mess it up. That we’ll offend. The truth? Evangelism is not weird... it’s war. A spiritual war for souls.

Maybe we feel untrained.
You don’t need a seminary degree to start. There are all kinds of ways to share Jesus, and you don’t have to fit someone else’s mold.


Find Your Style: 8 Ways to Evangelize
You were made on purpose, with a personality and style that God can use. Here are 8 ways to share your faith:

Invitational Evangelism – Invite someone to church. Let them experience God’s presence with you.
Direct Evangelism – Boldly share the gospel message.
Relational Evangelism – Think Drip Irrigation. You build long-term friendships and show Jesus through consistency.
Testimonial Evangelism – Tell your story. It’s powerful!
Servant Evangelism – Meet needs practically.
Intellectual Evangelism – Engage through logic and reason (apologetics).
Supernatural Evangelism – Use spiritual gifts to reveal the reality of God.
Discernment Evangelism – Sense where someone is at, and speak into it with love.
No matter your gift or comfort level, there’s a way for you to live evangelistically every day.

So What Now?
Here’s the question: Since you got saved, who have you led to Jesus?

That’s not a question to shame you. It’s a question to stir you. Because one year from now, your answer should be different. God is giving you opportunities... people in your family, your workplace, your neighborhood. They don’t need perfect words. They just need someone to care enough to speak.

Evangelism Is a Lifestyle, Not a Moment
It’s not about being loud, it’s about being compassionate, intentional, and Spirit-led. It’s about understanding that eternity is real, and someone else’s forever could change because you said yes.

You don’t need to be weird.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to be willing.

Because it’s not weird, it’s war.
And you were born for this.
