Evangelism & the Bubble...

It seems to me that many of us today who call ourselves Christ-followers are living in what's been described as the Christian "bubble." We go to the church building on Sunday, Bible study on Tuesday morning, back at the church building on Wednesday, and Friday fellowship night. Most of our friends are from church, and all of them are Christians.

If that's true of many Christians, what about those who work in church world? For most of us our life, passion and calling is church. It's very easy for those of us who work at churches, Christian schools, para-church organizations to live our lives in the bubble... rarely stepping out. Trust me... this is an occupational hazard for vocational minister-types like me.

How does evangelism fit into this picture? If we're all in the Christian bubble, who's out there sharing with the rest of America?


Okay... just between you and me, how and where do you evangelize?
