"Sam Chen helps all of us to not be "that guy" so we can point people to the person of Jesus. Sam has taken a heavy topic and made it into a breezy read that will inform, amuse and inspire." - Abdu Murray
Most Christians know they should be trying to tell their friends and family about Jesus. But in a post-Christendom world, personal evangelism is viewed negatively--it's offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive. Recent studies confirm that the majority of Christians rarely evangelise, worried they might offend their family or lose their friends. In How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being That Guy), author Sam Chan equips everyday Christians who are reluctant and nervous to tell their friends about Jesus with practical, tested ways of sharing their faith in the least awkward ways possible.
Drawing from over two decades of experience as an evangelist, teacher, and pastor, Chan explains why personal evangelism feels so awkward today. And utilising recent insights from communication theory, cross-cultural ministry, and apologetics, he helps you build confidence in sharing your faith, and teaches you how to evangelise your friends and family in socially appropriate ways.

Lifelong Leaders Presents:
The Gift of Understanding – Increasing Communication and Connection in Your Church
Saturday 19 July 2025
1pm - 4.30pm
at LifeWay Epping, 56 Norfolk Rd Epping NSW
** it's face to face course
Cost: FREE for LifeWay members (otherwise $75 pp)
Too often in the church we misunderstand each other. We see some people as rude, direct, and abrupt, while others are passive aggressive, never asking for what they really want. Sermons miss the mark, and church councils talk in circles, failing to make decisions and take action.
What is going on?
Utilising DISC Communication theory, Pastor Chris Mann (Director of Lifelong Leaders, Pastor at Endeavour College, Mawson Lakes) presents The Gift of Understanding – Increasing Communication and Connection in Your Church.
Participants in The Gift of Understanding will:
- Discover their unique communication style – and how it serves them and those around them
- Learn why that person gets on their nerves so easily… and how to make future conversations go smoothly
- Gain the tools needed to navigate difficult topics with different personality types
- Transform their ability to preach, speak, and lead those God has given them to care for
- Grow in their ability to help their people feel valued and loved in the midst of change
- Walk away with a simple, effective toolkit to help them apply what they learn
If you want to improve your ability to connect with others, to hear what people are truly saying, and truly understand others, this workshop is for you. Full of practical takeaways and biblical examples, The Gift of Understanding will help you serve the people God has placed before you.
"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." (Ephesians 4:29)
Join us on fourth Monday of the month from 8pm-9pm to hear about the ministry that is happening through LifeWay Cambodia, to support Vibol and pray for him. Please register your interest with Mark Schultz at [email protected] or submit an RSVP here.

But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life! (MSG)
