Continuing our weekly conversations...


The deal: Each Thursday, we announce a question of the week. We seek to ask questions that spark interesting conversations, whether it simply be about books, traditions, spiritual disciplines, more theological matters, or anything related to life in general. You can join our conversations two ways:


1. Leave a comment with your thoughts!


2. Or, if you prefer, post an answer to your own blog and leave us a link to your post so we can comment and add to the conversation. If you post on your own blog, you are welcome to use the picture above as long as you link back to us somewhere in your post.


This week's question...


What ideas and materials have you found to be the most effective while evangelizing?

    These tracts called "Do you know for certain?" are very useful and explain the Gospel with verses, words and illustrations. Also the Outreach Diagram. I took a class at church to learn how to share it and it is a really cool way of drawing out the Gospel and talking about it step-by-step with Bible verses as support.

    For kids, I like the color charts; gold stands for Heaven, dark stands for sin, etc. Otherwise, I think handing out free bottles of water is a great conversation starter. People ask you why on earth you're giving it away for free, and there's your door; walk through it.

    I've found that the most effective thing is simply developing a real, authentic and open friendship with people, creating an environment where they can see God's work in my life and those areas where I struggle. I find friendship allows people to feel more open to asking questions and having conversations. I try to simply answer them honestly and let God work through that.

    There are so many different ways to evangelize, and I believe that God can use them all for His glory, but I personally perfer building relationships firstrather than going up to strangers, mainly as a sign that I am genuinely interested in their lives, not just going up to them to fill some quota. But again, I've seen God work is every situation.

    I just learned about the wordless book a few weeks ago, and it's definitely changed my....style? (for lack of a better word). Other than that, I really try to build strong relationships, and work towards sharing my testimony, and bringing other close, Christian friends into the mix to hang out with.

Farewell

For over 11 years, Bloom! has existed to spur you on in your journey towards Biblical womanhood.  What started as a big dream in the hearts of three teen girls, turned into an international print magazine and then later turned into a thriving blog.  Our heart has been to go beyond the fluff and dig deep into God’s Word and into how to practically apply that to our daily lives.  If any good has come out of Bloom! , we know it is because God is the one who waters the seeds we plant ( 1 Cor. 3:7 ).  This journey of magazine and blog has spanned for over a decade and what a thrilling and beautiful one it has been.   God has deepened and widened our worldview.   He has given us a deeper understanding of His ways.   He’s brought me (Joanna) through some really hard times and pushed me to write despite the pain .   He’s shown me that although I am nowhere near perfect, He can still use me anyway. One thing He’s been teaching me recent...

The Art of Spiritual Journaling

- And we're back! Thanks for your patience while we took a brief hiatus. We're back to posting regularly and we have some exciting new stuff planned for the weeks ahead (including a few book giveaways!), so check back again throughout the week. - Also, a note: if you're a reader and would like your blog added to our sidebar, please leave us a comment or e-mail us. We're hoping to start a list of links on our sidebar of all of our readers' blogs. - - I have never been much of a journaler. I have always been very much a future thinker and would rather write a list of goals rather than recount the events of a past day or flesh out my confusing emotions on paper. But within the past year or two I have been discovering the art of journaling as a spiritual discipline, discovering that journaling has the power to broaden my understanding of God, to help me find the splendor in the ordinary, and to help me see more clearly God's grace at work in my life. - No...
