This is “Can We Talk?”

This is “Can We Talk?”  This is what it’s really all about.  “Can We Talk?” is not a program where we enlist more and more people to go out together to share the Gospel one night a week.  “Can We Talk?” is about equipping people to share the Gospel in their everyday lives.

Morgan Wilson is “Can We Talk?”
Morgan told me her amazing story tonight.  This past semester, she was in a philosophy classroom in an area college, enduring a tough semester with a professor who seemed to want to disprove the reality of Christ and Christianity.  It’s never easy for someone to hear another question or ridicule your faith.  For a college student to face an entire semester of that sort of conversation is intimidating and discouraging.  Professors are older, well-read, and they’ve played this game before.  They know they’ll rarely be challenged.
But Morgan was going through a semester of “Can We Talk?” at the same time.  She was learning to share her faith in a simple, yet direct way with people in the community.  She was memorizing a few verses and some key illustrations, and she was growing in her confidence.

What happens next is like a scene out the movie, “God’s Not Dead.”  In one particular philosophy class period, after weeks of listening to discouraging comments about Christianity and Christ, Morgan was given an opportunity to share what she believed.

And she did.  Right then, right there.  Clearly and simply.   In front of a doubting professor and a classroom full of college students.  That’s an equipped young woman!  Not only did she have students asking her to share more after class, she also gained the respect of her professor who complimented her on knowing what she believed.  God alone knows what will fully happen with the seeds Morgan courageously planted.

The reason there’s hope for this next generation is because of people like Morgan Wilson, who are willing to share the hope of Christ with those around her.  Morgan Wilson is what “Can We Talk?” is all about!
