It requires 2 things: truth and experience
1. Truth
Spreading the gospel must always be grounded in the absolute truth of the christian message.
We have a defensible faith.
We have an unfair advantage in the marketplace of ideas - we have truth on our side.
Debate has a place but mostly dialogue is more effective than debate.
We do not begin dialogue by assuming the equality of all truth claims, but by the equality of all persons.
How do we facilitate this? Seeker small groups and using stories.
2. We must usher people into an experience with God.
Blaise Pascal - the night of fire.
There must be a connection between truth and experience.
