Just read a hopeful post about engaging in conversation about faith and Christ. I get opportunities to do this all the time, often with a similar result. And yet, those I engage with seem convinced that I am the exception to Christianity and not the rule.
This is my prayer for the universal church as well as the Immanuel Austin community: that we might make the exception the rule.
Read the post and respond here. Thanks.

It's such a simple story, yet such a powerful one. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where people are usually very positive about Jesus, but very negative about Christianity. Most folks will gladly have a conversation with you about faith, but too many Christians I know (myself included, I'm ashamed to say) find it somehow difficult to actually engage people like that. We need simultaneous doses of boldness and humility, in order to be the kind of incarnational presence we are called to be in our spheres of influence.
