• What has evangelization looked like in your own life?
• What do you feel like when you are evangelizing?
• Why do you evangelize?
• How do you overcome obstacles to evangelization like fear, lack of experience, hostility, etc.?

1. After what you’ve heard, how has your idea of sharing the faith changed?
2. Why do you personally think it’s so important to share the Good News you’ve received with others?
3. What are some of your fears about evangelization?
4. Fr. Manno suggested several ways to begin evangelizing: talk to people, say “God bless you," ask people how you can pray for them, and listen to them. Which of these do you think you could actually begin doing today?
