Do you need to be sociable or outgoing to reach out to others for Jesus?
Here Dr. Cynthia asks Luke how he, as an unsociable “nerd” is able to run a festival booth, sharing the gospel and apologetics with unbelievers one-on-one for hours without feeling self-conscious.
Many Christians are like him. In fact, apologetics and polemics attract people who are “on the spectrum.” But to truly follow Christ, we need to share what we have learned.
Luke does not like “small talk.” But he admits that talking about superficial things does help us connect with others, so he is trying to improve on it.
Luke likes “big talk,” about important issues. Once connected, he can have deep and long conversations – online or in person.
Besides online, a thing that helps him is serving in an apologetics booth for an event. At a booth he is able to avoid small talk and focus on important topics.
Consider these ideas if you are also unsociable.
