What Does Real Evangelism Look Like In 2025?

Called To Create Disciples

As Christians, we are all called to make disciples. 

I admit that I have fallen short in that goal. 

The truth is that I am selfish. 

I'm selfish at times to the point where I don't even share my faith. 

Maybe you are like me too. 

The question I ask is "What does evangelism look like today?"

What does reaching the lost look like in our A.I., social media, transgender, politically charged, truth is relative, hate infested society? 

Below I will share some of my thoughts. 

What does real evangelism look like in 2025?

Sharing Christ with others can be a challenge in this day and age. 

But we always have to start with LOVE. 

Love allows us to look past the faults of people and see a person in need of Christ. 

When we lead with love, we will be able to convey that we are all sinners in need of Christ's saving grace. 

Real evangelism has to go beyond CHURCH. 

The community church provides is important. 

It is important to be empowered by other people in the church. 

But church attendance alone is not evangelism. 

One of the main issues with Western Christianity (in my opinion) is that church attendance equals a genuine relationship with Christ. 

We are called to BE the church, not just attend church. 

We should extend our faith into our workplace, places of business, while shopping, at school, everywhere we can. 

Just inviting people to church is NOT evangelism. 

Most of us are lazy and just want to invite people to church, praying that they feel that goosebumps during the altar call. 

We have to be salt and light outside of the four walls of the church. 

Remember, you may be the only Jesus that some folks will EVER see. 

And they may never come to your church. 

Real evangelism looks like UNDERSTANDING THE CULTURE. 

The early disciples used the Greek culture to their advantage to spread the gospel. 

We should do the same thing. 

We do this by being able to meet people where they are, like social media. 

Christians needs to be more diligent in understanding tools like social media, YouTube, and artificial intelligence. 

The more we understand the ways of the culture means that we are able to connect with people in a more sincere way. 

We need to be aware of what people are fighting against spiritually and meet them there. 

Lastly, real evangelism looks like sharing your story with people. 

ALL OF US have a story. 

Your story may not be as dire or colorful as mine. 

But all of us have a story of God's goodness and love in our lives. 

We can't speak to people from a mountaintop, like we have never sinned or fallen short in life. 

God has delivered us from our bad habits, hidden sins, and selfish ways.

And He is STILL DELIVERING US!

We need to share our stories; the good, bad, and the ugly. 

CONCLUSION

Our ultimate goal of our lives is the Great Commission. 

We are called to create disciples. 

• Not churchgoers. 
• Not people without tattoos.
• Not only people who only wear ankle low dresses.
• Not people WE THINK would make good Christians. 

God's love and saving grace is available for ALL. 

So, let's make that effort to share our testimonies and reach the lost. 

Let us pray to do God's work. 

This means whether we are in business, in the mall, playing video games, at the job, watching football, or getting your nails done, you can use that opportunity to evangelize. 

Use your gifts, talents, and strengths to draw people in. 

God can use us, even if we are not eloquent, a preacher, or a gospel singer. 

We just have to be willing to share the love of Christ with others. 

God bless you and thank you for reading this post.
