I had a really great conversation last night with one of my co-workers who had grew up in church but had been turned off by some things that Christians said to him. I hope I am the kind of person who, when people are around me, have to reckon with the reality of who Jesus is and can't just write Christians off as "close-minded" or "judgmental." I am on a mission to remove everything from my life and thought that might give others that perception. I want to be a true Christian.

It's so important to be ready "to give an account for the hope that is in you" (I Peter 3:15). I am going to do my best to not avoid talking about Jesus, but also not forcing anything. I believe that if we do live like true Christians, we will be approached by people as much or more than we approach them. So we need to be ready, and not shy away from opportunities, even when it might be difficult or risk persecution. If I have to risk persecution and being made fun of for the sake of helping people come under the kingdom of God, then so be it.
