Working in retail sales for the past ten years, I have learned a thing or two about selling.. even selling to people that don't really want what i've sold them. There's really nothing difficult in selling, or sharing.. its all about empathy. Feeling for people will gain access. People love to buy things when it was his or her idea to buy it rather than a pushy salesperson...
and then you get people that can't even sell something that is free. I was at an event and we were to hand out free samples of a product. The person I charged with distribution was having a hard time giving away MINTS!!. I kept telling him, just give it to them.. if they don't want it, they'll throw it away. Don't ask them.. don't explain it to them. Just give it!
This can be adapted to lives as a christian. Instead of trying to give people the gospel; telling them how much they need it. Why can't we live it and give it? It's a FREE gift. Live a life without shame, put it out there for people to receive.. they'll either take it or throw it away, however its THEIR choice. How many have been pushed away because we, as a church, suck at selling free things?
