About the series

Sharing faith with confidence.

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
1 Peter 3:15

Most of us want to share our faith, and most of us feel unequipped to do it. To Boldly Go set out to change that, with eight weeks on the why and the how of evangelism, and on the good reasons behind what we believe.

We looked at the questions people actually ask, the confidence the gospel gives, and the gentleness and respect that should mark every conversation. Faith is worth sharing, and it can be shared well.
