Testimonials
Tasha D.
I used to think witnessing required a microphone or a deep theological degree. But Everyday Evangelism showed me that it’s really about showing up—fully present, fully available—in my everyday life. I’ve prayed for coworkers in the breakroom, encouraged strangers in the grocery store, and even shared my testimony at the car wash. My life hasn’t just changed—it’s become a mission field.
Marcus L.
Reading Everyday Evangelism unlocked something in me. I used to separate my spiritual life from my work life, my errands, even my social life. But this book reminded me that God is always moving—and He wants to move through me. Now, I walk into every room like He sent me. I’m no longer waiting for a platform—I realize I already have one in the people I meet every day.
Reverend Sheila M.
I’ve loved God for years, but I let fear hold me back from sharing my faith. I worried I’d say the wrong thing or come off too strong. Everyday Evangelism reminded me that it’s not about being perfect—it’s about being obedient. Now I say ‘yes’ more often: to praying for others, to offering encouragement, to sharing my story. I’ve found boldness, and it’s beautiful.
