Episode 4 - How to Share Your Faith
Join Leigh Spruill as he welcomes Holly Ordway, Cardinal Francis George Fellow of Faith and Culture for the Word on Fire Institute and Visiting Professor of Apologetics at Houston Baptist University, to answer the question, 'What is the 'Big Opportunity' facing the Church in today's world'? Leigh and Winn discuss how making the story of Christianity relatable can open doors to belief.
Stepping back and fully exploring the meaning of the words we use to describe our faith can lead to new ways to tell the story of Christianity. People must first find the story personally meaningful before they can decide if it is true. Imaginative literature opened the door to faith for Holly. She sees a big opportunity to share our faith by openly living a life of personal holiness.
