From 10 Ways To Deconstruct Your Faith

Deconstruct your view of sharing the gospel by simply counting the amount of spiritual conversations you have with people about THEIR faith journey, thoughts of God and life, opinion of Jesus, view of the world and how to restore it, and whatever else peaks there interest. The point is not to sell Jesus like a vacuum and obsess over the amount of conversions you have, but rather move into a posture of dialog and conversation.

I have read your post on evangelism just now, and I agree discipleship is much more important than evangelism, and I like your example of colonialism vs sustainable development. =)
