daily word - safety?

How do you carry out the Great Commission? Do you admire the apostles for their boldness that is commended in the Bible and wish to emulate them? Have you ever encountered resistance to the gospel message? Do you find that the harder you push the harder your audience pushes back, so your efforts create resistance? How do you feel when someone is trying to persuade you? Is there anything more important than feeling safe when you encounter a different point of view? If you want your efforts to be effective, can you create a climate of safety to make your audience receptive to your message?
