Episode Summary:

In this episode, Karen and Cathy discuss the challenges of inspiring and empowering Christian friends to share their faith across different faiths and cultures. They address the opposition that may arise and the apathy or fear that some Christians may have towards evangelism. Cathy shares her personal experience of moving to a new city and struggling to find like-minded individuals who were willing to engage in faith sharing. However, through her involvement with The Blue Cord study, she was able to build a community of women who are now actively sharing the gospel both locally and internationally. The Blue Cord study combines biblical concepts with behavioral science to inspire and empower individuals to share Jesus in a natural and effective way. Cathy encourages listeners to step out in faith and start small, as even the smallest acts of obedience can have a significant impact on the world.

Key Takeaways:

Many Christians may be hesitant or apathetic towards sharing their faith across different faiths and cultures.

The United States is one of the nations with a significant number of unreached people, and the growth of other religions, such as Islam, is outpacing Christianity.

The Blue Cord study provides a practical and effective way to inspire and empower Christians to share Jesus with people of other faiths and cultures.

Starting small and building a community of like-minded individuals can lead to significant multiplication and impact.

The joy of sharing Jesus and seeing lives transformed outweighs any fear or opposition that may arise.
