I recently learned the top four hindrances, in order, that keep Christians from sharing their faith:

1. Fear
2. Lack of know-how
3. Not knowing nonbelievers
4. Busyness

I added these hindrances to tags for this site and will plan to cover them in The Sower.

Do you identify with any of these four? Feel free to write some comments to share here with others.

Busyness is definitely an issue for me. I remember experiencing real freedom in this area during Hurricane Frances in 2004. We had evacuated to my son’s apartment, taking only the bare essentials with us. I finally had time that weekend! Without all the things to distract me, I had lots of time available for my family. Unfortunately, we returned home to an unwanted skylight and a puddle of brown water, with blobs of soggy pink insulation in the kitchen, so we were more-than-our-usual busy for a long time after that.

Stay tuned. In a few days, I will publish The Top Four – Part Two.
