How to Overcome Fear in Sharing the Gospel

God Is the One Who Saves

First of all, I want to remind people that it's not their job to save others. God is the one who does the work of saving people, not us.

Second, I've found that when I walk out in faith, the Spirit of God tends to give me the answers that I need. So don't overthink what you're going to say. Ask God to give you what you need to say in the moment. Historically, God has used lots of simple people—and oftentimes very uneducated people—to be the most powerful means by which he shares the gospel. In those situations, he gets the glory, not us. So don't put your confidence in yourself, put your confidence in him.
