Our faith impacts neighbors through authentic relationships built on trust, not one-time transactions. People evaluate us through four filters: character, chemistry, competence, and credibility. When neighbors meet us, they encounter Jesus through our personality filled with His character. Spiritual maturity includes emotional maturity - being approachable and likable matters. You are competent to share the gospel through simple actions like praying for others, sharing your story, or inviting someone to study the Bible. Let the gospel story do the heavy lifting while you live authentically and point people to Jesus.
