“Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses.”
—Pope Paul VI

We are all called to be examples and witnesses of Christ in the world. But what does that actually mean in the real world? How do we share our faith without coming across as preachy? How do we overcome the fear of saying or doing something wrong?

Learn from experts in ministry, theologians, and lay evangelists—including Fr. Blake Britton, Gloria Purvis, Shannon Wimp Schmidt, Mallory Smyth, and Christ Padgett—who share the message of the Gospel every day and want to help you become the witness Jesus called you to be.
