Who gets to define who you are? Your job? Your relationships? Your past? Your achievements? Or perhaps the things other people have said about you?
Identity has become one of the biggest conversations in our culture and it can also become a powerful doorway for evangelism.
In this episode of The Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom sits down with Christian speaker, author and communicator Nalini Tranquim to explore why so many people struggle with the question, “Who am I?” and how Christians can enter those conversations with genuine curiosity, compassion and wisdom.
Rather than rushing in with Christian answers, Nalini shares a practical approach: build real friendships, ask good questions, listen carefully and pay attention to what the Holy Spirit might already be doing.
