How To Effectively Share Your Faith: The Four I's Of Christian Witness

A study in Colossians 4:2-6 with Pastor Dave Gudgel Four I's (Practical Framework) Intercede Devote yourself to prayer for open doors and God’s activity around people. Pray that God would open hearts, since God is the primary door-opener. Prayer is step one for those who want more opportunities to witness. Identify Know whether someone is an "insider" (in God’s family) or an "outsider". Ask questions to determine a person’s spiritual standing (e.g., "Where are you in your spiritual journey?"). Tailor your approach: focus on conversion (front half of Great Commission) or discipleship (back half). Invest Redeem time: build relationships through time, words, and gifts. Spend time with unbelievers (friendship, shared activities, conversations). Use conversational opportunities to share Scripture or short devotional readings. Be patient: conversions often occur over repeated relationship-building. Invite Encourage questions and objections; give people freedom to ask. Season conversations with grace and "salt" (interest, relevance, personal application). Be prepared to answer (1 Peter 3:15); respond with gentleness and respect.
