 I Felt the Nudge… and Stayed Silent 🙁 Q: How do you overcome the fear of approaching people to talk about the Lord or pray for them? Yesterday I had a small encounter at a McDonald’s play place that’s been sitting heavy on my heart. I was there alone with my daughter when a woman came in with her grandson. She was visibly struggling to walk and stand upright, & during our small talk she mentioned that she was bringing him "one last time" before having an extensive spinal surgery. I could feel the Lord nudging me so clearly to ask if I could pray with her, and I didn’t do it. The strange thing is, she was incredibly kind and approachable. There was no reason to be afraid, but I froze anyway. Ever since, I’ve been thinking about it and wondering why fear can feel louder than obedience in moments like that. How did you get to the point of boldness in your faith in public spaces? Have you ever ignored a prompting and regretted it? I’d genuinely love advice and experiences b...

Q:  I need some advice. I go out with my girl friend a few times a month for many many years, usually Friday or Saturday night to our small town legion or one other place. It’s usually a very chill atmosphere. They have meat raffles and fundraiser dinners, etc. I have one or two drinks for the whole night and I never get drunk. I don’t like being drunk at all. This past Saturday night, my girlfriend was talking to a couple of men that were sitting a couple seats down from us. I wasn’t really part of the conversation until they started talking about church, talking bad about it, and my girlfriend pointed at me and said “I don’t go to church but she does”, and all I said was “yes! I love my church!” then one of the guys started talking very disrespectful to me about church, God, and Jesus. Then my girlfriend was talking to the other guy and kind of walked away. This guy was YELLING at me for a solid 10 minutes. I couldn’t get a word in at ALL. He was cussing Jesus and I stayed as ca...

Q:  My son (11) was in tears tonight over his two new "unsaved" friends. He’s been giving them gospel for like three weeks and they haven’t repented yet ❤️😂.  🙏Please pray for the salvation of his friends, and patience for my sweet son! A: Tell him to  Keep praying, living out Christian life and keep sharing! We are only to plant the seeds - God does the harvesting! Idea: Have him try using a video clip. He can text it and get their thoughts.  "I appreciated your time the other day, and your honesty. I am wondering if this [short vid clip] helps it make more sense? Let me know. needGod.com. Happy to answer questions (or pray with you) anytime🙂." Also make sure he has resources to answer questions (until he has them memorized [and with Scripture]).  Helpful Resources Big Resource http://longertweets.blogspot.com/2023/07/resources-believers-pg-6.html Quick answers GotQuestions.org Quick videos http://longertweets.blogspot.com/2022/08/ccc-investigate.html Bonus ...

Q: I need advice. All my friends including my boyfriend are not Christian. I really want to talk to them about Jesus Christ but am having this fear in mind that they might not listen to me. Where should I start?  A: Regardless of your relationship status, this can help you reach someone for Christ.  Scripture tells us a few things on this topic. Here are a couple: *God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love and a sound mind.  *The Holy Spirit will help us with what we say. * God's Word never returns void.  *we are to speak to people about the Gospel but do so as one informed, who rightly speaks the truth, and who does so in patience, gentleness and in love.  Are you a new believer? Have you been baptized as a believer yet?  I would start by writing up your testimony. It is best if the gospel is included. Then you have a couple options.  1. Invite them to your baptism where you share your testimony (in water baptismal, before the bap...
