Must you “seal the deal” when sharing your faith?

Sometimes, evangelism can feel like a sales pitch. Build up the nerve, deliver the perfect sequence of lines, and—bam!—try to close the deal, right?

Maybe that’s what some of us have been told. But trying to pressure someone into faith is about as effective as a used car salesman shouting about a “today-only offer.” All it may do is create resistance.

Thankfully, the New Testament never calls us to awkwardly manipulate conversations or push people. And no quotas or guilt trips. In fact, Peter paints a very different picture—one rooted in hope, gentleness, and respect.

So, if you’ve ever felt guilty for not being a radical salesperson for Jesus, this one’s for you. Watch now and discover how real evangelism is simply being available to whatever God is doing in the moment. It’s natural, genuine, and freeing.
