How to Start Authentic God Conversations with Author, Doug Pollock
Episode description
Simply preaching and sharing your own story, no matter how powerful, is often not enough to make someone a believer of Christ. Living in the strength and truth of your faith gives you a platform to share your story with others, but HOW you do so is of equal importance to your message.
Through his ministry, today’s guest, speaker and author Doug Pollock, has learned a lot about how to have meaningful God conversations with people around the world. On this episode of Empowered Manhood, he recalls all the lessons he’s learned on his journey, and experience being a chaplain and Director of Evangelism at Athletes in Action.
Doug’s own discussions with authentic men around him were pivotal moments that inspired him to do the same, through his own self-awareness and the Holy Spirit's guidance. He knows that to be heard, you must also be willing to listen, and this has helped him develop an ease in starting a dialogue with non-believers.
Man has the responsibility to converse about their faith, but building trust and safety is key to successful ministry. Tune in to hear how to open a God space to engage in a significant way!
