  <itunes:subtitle>Why is it so hard to talk about Jesus, even when we want others to know Him?

In Ephesians 6, Paul asks believers to pray for his boldness in sharing the gospel. This message explores how prayer, the Holy Spirit, and confidence in God's Word help us overcome fear and live on mission wherever God places us.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;A Request We All Should Repeat! | Missions Sunday&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We can talk about sports, work, the weather, and just about anything else without thinking twice. But when it comes to talking about Jesus, we sometimes freeze.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why is that?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Ephesians 6:19–20, Paul asks the church to pray that he would have the boldness to share the gospel. It's an interesting request from someone who had already endured so much for his faith.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In &lt;em&gt;A Request We All Should Repeat&lt;/em&gt;, we look at why Paul needed that prayer and why we do too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We'll explore the spiritual battles that come with living on mission, the importance of praying for people who don't know Jesus, and how the Holy Spirit gives us the courage and compassion to share our faith.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You'll also hear practical ways to begin, including praying for someone by name, finding a prayer partner, and recognizing that you don't have to be an expert to tell someone what Jesus has done in your life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our responsibility isn't to save people. It's to share the message of the One who does.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key Takeaways:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Living on mission is for every believer.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prayer should come before the conversation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fear doesn't mean you're unqualified.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The gospel carries the power, not your presentation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Boldness grows when we encourage one another.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
