Why You Don’t Feel Capable of Communicating the Gospel

If you’ve been following Let’s Echo, you know we’re all called to communicate the Gospel. So, why haven’t you taken action yet? Perhaps it’s because you secretly feel incapable. This feeling can be paralyzing, but the truth is, you are more than capable.

1. You Don’t Understand the Father’s Affirmation

God wouldn’t call you to something you’re not capable of doing. He doesn’t set you up to fail. In fact, He promises to give you the words to speak (Exodus 4:10-12). God erases your past and affirms your future (2 Corinthians 5:17). He delights in making you strong (Psalm 89:17).

2. You Haven’t Been Taught to Invest in Yourself

In the church, we often expect everything to be free, but investing in yourself is crucial. The Gospel is free, but those who teach and pour into you deserve their wages (1 Timothy 5:18, Luke 10:7). When you invest in yourself, you invest in others, boosting your confidence. Your treasure reflects where your heart is (Matthew 6:21).

3. You Think You Have to Be Born a Speaker

You don’t need to be born a speaker; you can become one. Just as Jesus trained His disciples in thinking, faith, and preaching (Mark 13:4; Luke 9:1-27; Matthew 5-8), you can grow through conferences, courses, coaching, and counseling.

Bottom Line:

You can use your voice for God, even if you don’t have formal education, weren’t born into a ministry family, or aren’t a natural speaker. The key is investing in yourself. That’s why we created The Something to Say Starter Kit, launching in January 2022. This 5-week course will help you confidently answer, “What do I say?” when speaking for God.
