This Sunday at Church: Encourage someone to redeem the opportunity in a Barbershop to share the Gospel

I have the benefit of being able to say I am a pastor and a Christian Worldview instructor, so I have many conversations in barbershops (and other hair-splitting establishments) about Christianity and the gospel. Anyone can do it, though. It used to be that I just mentioned going to church.

We should be praying for these opportunities, not merely in ear-lowering businesses.
