Not because my "I've had four babies in five years" postpartum brain had malfunctioned again, but because I genuinely love to share my faith. I don't have all the answers, I am no bible scholar, and I can hardly win an argument with my strong-willed four-year-old. But I love Jesus and I know what He has done in my life. I can share that. No problem. How about you?

And as I have grown and matured in my faith and experienced different seasons in my life, the way I have shared my faith has evolved. But there are a few things that I have realized about evangelism that will never change:

Hi Wendy! I bought your book at MOPS last week and am a little over half way through. I was reading it the other night and you had me laughing out loud several times as I can totally relate to a bunch of your stories. Love it! Great writing!
