Speaker 1: Life Audio from the Salvation Army. Welcome to Heartbeat. If

2
00:00:16,765 --> 00:00:18,924
Speaker 1: you grew up in a Christian home, a lot of

3
00:00:19,005 --> 00:00:21,645
Speaker 1: us had, maybe this picture of evangelism is knocking on

4
00:00:21,685 --> 00:00:24,605
Speaker 1: a stranger's door with a scripted question and hoping they'd

5
00:00:24,645 --> 00:00:27,124
Speaker 1: invite us in. But as we've gotten older, most of

6
00:00:27,205 --> 00:00:30,325
Speaker 1: us have learned that real evangelism looks a lot more

7
00:00:30,405 --> 00:00:34,005
Speaker 1: like real life. But here's the truth. People don't open

8
00:00:34,045 --> 00:00:37,364
Speaker 1: their hearts because of a perfect presentation. They open their

9
00:00:37,405 --> 00:00:40,805
Speaker 1: hearts when they feel seen, when they feel valued, when

10
00:00:40,805 --> 00:00:44,925
Speaker 1: they feel loved. Jesus didn't rush past people. He sat

11
00:00:45,005 --> 00:00:48,925
Speaker 1: with him, He listened. He shared the good news through relationship.

12
00:00:49,685 --> 00:00:53,925
Speaker 1: So maybe evangelism isn't something we do to someone. It's

13
00:00:53,925 --> 00:00:58,725
Speaker 1: something that happens through one honest conversation, one friendship, one

14
00:00:58,885 --> 00:01:01,965
Speaker 1: act of love at a time. That's how people meet

15
00:01:02,045 --> 00:01:06,645
Speaker 1: Jesus through people who show his love first. For more
