Socially Awkward Evangelism

Evangelism & Missions

“In Socially Awkward Evangelism, Mark Teasdale provides a rigorous and insightful account of Christian witness grounded in the conviction that God—through Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit—is redeeming creation. Drawing on contemporary psychology, particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), he addresses the realities of anxiety, shame, and fear that often hinder evangelistic practice. Evangelism here is envisioned as virtue-shaped and trauma-informed formation that resists coercion, honors dignity, and cultivates ethical persuasion in community. This timely volume offers Christian and faith leaders concrete pathways toward non-defensive, authentic proclamation of God's abundant life in Christ.”
