Keeping It Honest, Real & Raw in Evangelism

Tina Waldrom speaks with Terry Creedy about Keeping it Honest, Real & Raw in Evangelism. Terry, from Launceston, Tasmania, works full time in the world of television and marketing. He has also been involved, leading churches and ministries for many years. Terry currently attends Blackstone Christian Centre. Through his own painful journey, Terry has learnt to be honest, real and raw with people. His capacity to be vulnerable and transparent with others, is a great tool as he reaches out to those around him.
Reaching Aussies for Jesus requires honesty, it requires believers to be real about their life and faith. Projecting a perfect, somewhat unattainable life, to those around is not helpful as people explore Christ. Keeping it honest, real and raw is the key.  Terry shares some wonderful stories and also some thoughts on how to be more authentic in our witness for Christ. He also gives some reasons why believers can sometimes find this difficult.
