What is it that holds you back from sharing the Gospel? For most of us, it boils down to a lack of confidence. We don’t have confidence in our knowledge to field difficult questions, we don’t have confidence that we won’t get ‘cancelled’ and we might even lack confidence in our own faith itself. So you’re not alone! That’s why Solas runs ‘Confident Christianity’ training across the UK to help churches regain their confidence in evangelism. Gavin Matthews and Steve Osmond explain how it works and who it helps.

About PEP Talk
The Persuasive Evangelism Podcast aims to equip listeners to share their faith more effectively in a sceptical world. Each episode, our hosts chat to a guest who has a great story, a useful resource, or some other expertise that helps equip you to talk persuasively, winsomely, and engagingly with your friends, colleagues and neighbours about Jesus.
