Tiny Chair Talks Ep. 6 - Church Discipline
In Episode 7, Ray Gray sits in our Tiny Chairs with Rocio Roberts to talk about "Friendship Evangelism."
"Evange-living," "friendship evangelism," this concept has different names but the idea is the same: allowing the natural day-to-day affairs of our lives (and relationships in particular) to be a witness for the gospel.
Is this an approach that is valued by members of the church?
On the one hand, you have the call to evangelism as outlined in Matthew 28:19-20 by Jesus himself. On the other hand, it's a well observed phenomena that many (particularly among younger generations) tend to view the concept of evangelizing, as demonstrated by most traditional methods, as covert proselytizing. It is viewed as underhanded, disrespectful, or pushy to be interested in or engage with someone only with the goal of converting them.
Rocio brings a fresh, no-strings-attached, middle-ground approach to the conversation; one that isn't necessarily new, but perhaps has never been fully explored or embraced.
This episode is a bit lengthy but plenty of good food for thought.
