How Pastors & Leaders Can Equip Believers for Evangelism

In this episode, host Tina Waldrom explores how pastors and church leaders can effectively equip believers for evangelism. Sharing the gospel isn’t just for pastors—it’s a calling for every believer. However, many Christians hesitate because they don’t feel confident articulating their faith. Tina discusses how teaching frameworks can help simplify the gospel message, making it easier to share. Prayer is another key element in effective evangelism, and Tina encourages churches to build a culture of prayer specifically focused on outreach.

Beyond traditional methods, Tina highlights the role of social media as a powerful evangelism tool in today’s digital world. She urges churches to integrate evangelism into all aspects of ministry, rather than treating it as a one-time event. By providing practical resources and celebrating small wins—like a single conversation about Jesus or someone taking a step closer to faith—churches can inspire more believers to actively share the gospel. This episode is packed with insights to help pastors and church leaders create a church culture where evangelism is second nature, equipping believers with the tools and confidence to share Jesus in their everyday lives.

Discussion Questions

• How well can you articulate the gospel?

If someone asked you what the gospel is, how would you explain it in a simple and clear way? Practice sharing the gospel using a method like the Romans Road or your personal testimony (before Christ, meeting Christ, after Christ).

Read Romans 1:16 and 1 Peter 3:15.

• What fears or hesitations do you have about sharing your faith?

What holds you back from sharing your faith—fear of rejection, lack of knowledge, or something else? How can you overcome these fears through God’s Word and His Spirit?

Read 2 Timothy 1:7 and Joshua 1:9.

• How can you actively practice evangelism in a non-threatening way?

What are some small, everyday opportunities to share your faith? How can you role-play and practice evangelism within your small group, family, or church community?

Read Colossians 4:5-6 and Matthew 5:16.

• What role does prayer play in evangelism?

How often do you pray for opportunities to share the gospel? What are some specific ways you can pray for those who don’t know Jesus?

• What practical resources do you have (or need) to help share your faith?

Do you carry gospel tracts, memorise key scriptures, or use digital tools for evangelism? How can you be more prepared to share your faith when opportunities arise?

Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Isaiah 55:11.

• How can you use social media for evangelism?

What faith-related content have you shared recently? How can you use your online presence to plant seeds for gospel conversations?

Read Matthew 28:19-20 and Mark 16:15.

• How can evangelism become a lifestyle rather than a one-time event?

Who is a "person of peace" in your life—someone open to spiritual conversations? What habits can you build to make evangelism a natural and ongoing part of your life?

Read Luke 10:5-6 and 2 Corinthians 5:20.
