Why Communication Skills are Especially Important for Christians

While most Christian persecution is much more physical and dangerous in other countries, the United States has taken and decidedly ridged stance against Christians.  Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have been systematically deleting posts that are overtly Christian. Many Christians have moved to Parler in order to be able to discuss their views. However, I feel it's vital for Christians to to learn to communicate effectively with NONChristians because otherwise aren't we just preaching to the choir?  The Lord must think communication skills and important issue because there are hundreds and hundreds of scriptures telling us how we should communicate with each other.  Not everything is mentioned in the Bible, but something mentioned this many times should be studied, Amen?
