How do I know when to preach and when to act in front of unchurched friends?

Ebenezer Rudolph from Christmas River, North Dakota

Dear Ethan and Mike,

I recently became friends with a coworker at my job at Pretzel Time. He doesn’t know I am a Christian. My pastor is urging me to sit down and have “the Jesus talk” with him but my good friends are saying I should lead with a Godly example and not without preaching. What should I do?

Pros of living like Christ as an example.

“They will know we are christians by our love.”  what does that look like in 2023

Pros of having the “Salvation Talk” with new believers

How do you bring up the salvation talk without being to awkward.

Col 4:6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

1. God should be helping you with the next step of your new relationships
2. Acting like Jesus should not be overlooked
3. You need some communication that you want the other person to have Jesus
4. Relationship status is key, but there are some times where it is instant

The 2 greatest commandments:  Matthew 22:36-40

** - When we mention the phrase “the JESUS TALK” it makes me think of a  Story of the advice that was given to me when i first started talking in churches as a missionary and filling the pulpit for churches way back in the 2008s ….. Fire in Chicago, Fire and brimstone

Romans 10:9-15.
