Ever try to share your faith with someone where the discussion turned from conversation to confrontation? Has that experience made you feel more uncomfortable about sharing your faith in general even though you know the Lord commands us to do so in love? Have you felt the Lord tugging at your heart to share the Gospel with someone, but your head is tugging back because you don't know how? Do you know someone who is on fire for Jesus, but their approach more closely resembles hitting their "target" over the head with the King James Bible?
