So I feel like I'm ready to share my faith with my family. They were brought up Christian but I don't believe they ever really had much of a spiritual connection to the founder, Jesus, other than a superficial obligation to attend Mass. I hope that this step toward evangelizing will grant me a bit of experience before going forward to others outside of my immediate family.
When all's said and done, I want to be realistically assured that they understand who Jesus is and what he has done for them. I want to be assured that they will come to know him as I have as a renewed Christian.
There are some barriers or, strongholds if you will, that have been built up over the years. My Dad attends A.A./N.A. meetings, and so his understanding is that, whatever works for the person is good enough.
My mother is similar in this regard and very impressionable to the new age, Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra type spiritualism. She responds amicably to the "feel good" inspirationals doled out.
My brother doesn't seem to have a belief in anyhing spiritual and that worries me a little.
Will post more later. Does anyone have any stories of their own thou canst share? Advice to impart in my going forth to reveal the Word of truth unto my family, whom I love so dearly? Many thanks!
