When is someone ready to receive an invitation to follow Christ?

Do you have people in your life who have heard about your faith and have engaged with you on spiritual topics, yet you are longing for them to actually respond to the Gospel? But when is the right time tp extend an invitation to them to follow Christ? Are they ready? What if they aren’t? Should the invitation be the culmination of a process of sharing the faith or the very starting point for it? And shouldn’t an invitation be experienced as an honor and a gift, even if someone feels they need to RSVP “no”? Vince considers these and other related questions on this week’s Ask Away, as he invites each of us to make it a New Year’s resolution to be more invitational with the Gospel in 2026!
