What does sharing your faith, fatherhood, and homeschooling have in common. Well, evangelism is a very important element of the Christian experience and discipleship that fathers can take the lead on.

In this episode of the Home School Dad series, hosts Camden and David Nunnery engage with EZ Zwayne, discussing the vital role fathers play in homeschooling and evangelism. They explore how dads can overcome fears associated with sharing the gospel, the importance of understanding their identity as ambassadors for Christ, and the need for compassion in evangelism. The conversation emphasizes practical tips for involving children in outreach and the significance of leading by example. The episode concludes with a weekly challenge for dads to actively engage in sharing their faith with their families and communities.

Studies from research companies like Barna and Lifeway show that fewer than 5% of all self-professing Christians have ever led anyone to Christ and less than 60% have even tried to share the Gospel. Clearly there is a gap of confidence, enthusiasm, and even identification with what it means to be a Christ-followers. Join us today to learn how fathers can help fill this gap and why they would even want to.

Men’s Challenge:

This week, find a moment to connect a normal, everyday event to a gospel truth. This could be a scene in a movie, a difficult moment on the playground, or a conversation with a neighbor. The goal is to start thinking evangelistically by seeing how the gospel applies to everything.

Evangelism is often seen as confrontational, but it can be approached with compassion and care.

Understanding our identity as ambassadors for Christ is key to sharing the gospel.
