Nudging Conversions

We all know someone-a parent, sibling, aunt or uncle, coworker, grandparent, child, neighbor, or friend-who has either left the Church or never discovered it. We want them to know the joy and peace we've discovered, but the last thing we want to do is to force our faith on them. So how can we bring our loved ones back to the Church? Jesus was the first and greatest evangelizer. As his disciples, we're called to share in his mission-to spread his message to others. But going outside your comfort zone to engage the disengaged in meaningful conversations about Catholicism can be overwhelming.
