Inside: Here’s how to spread the gospel without feeling awkward. This is evangelism without knocking on the doors of strangers. Listen in to Episode 147 of Grace In Real Life with Twyla Franz.
Jesus calls us to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything He commanded us.
Nothing sounds more amazing and more terrifying.
We know that Jesus alone is the solution and salvation that gets to the root of every issue we face in our own hearts and the world, AND YET… the idea of sharing our lives and Jesus with others inspires the most fear.
To help us spread the gospel, Twyla walks us through:
- The three components of missional living,
- How to share Jesus’s love without feeling awkward,
- And one first step you can take toward missional living.

About Twyla Franz
Twyla is a growing voice in the missional living niche whose words appear in publications like Relevant and Her View From Home. She founded The Uncommon Normal in 2019 to help imperfectly-ready people take baby steps into neighborhood missional living.
Her 2019 word of the year – open – helped her dismantle the walls she’d built that kept her friendships shallow; she wants nothing more than to help other women find freedom and deep friendship on the other side of their walls.
Twyla and her family live in Lexington, KY, where they host a neighborhood missional community. If she’s not writing or creating Canva graphics, she’s probably talking to a neighbor or figuring out what she can make for dinner with the ingredients on hand.
