This post dives into Barrier #3. It\u2019s based on Lifeway Research and a framework created by Ken Boa and featured in his book, <em>Conformed to His Image<\/em> (with a change in Barrier #5 from A Barrier of Isolation to Derwin Gray\u2019s A Barrier of Shame, which we dive into in this post).<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Gray, <strong>barriers aren\u2019t walls; they\u2019re invitations.<\/strong> When you\u2019re lit up with love, you know that barriers are opportunities to press deeper into Christ and rely on the Holy Spirit\u2019s power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Barrier of Inadequacy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time when I share Jesus with the lost, I feel inadequate. I think, <em>What if they ask a question I don\u2019t know the answer to? What if they bring up a way Christians or Christian leaders have failed or hurt them?<\/em> If a person asks me a question that I do not know the answer to, I\u2019ve learned to say, \u201cI don\u2019t know. Why don\u2019t we study the topic together?\u201d If someone becomes angry or combative, I say, \u201cI\u2019m sorry if I offended you. I can see this is a hard topic to discuss. Let\u2019s take a break. If you want to talk at another time, I\u2019m more than willing.\u201d When someone asks me about a church scandal or shares about how Christians have hurt them, I apologize. I\u2019ve learned to say, \u201cWhat happened was evil and must never happen again. I stand with you against evil. Sadly, often Jesus\u2019 people act in ways that are the opposite of Jesus. But Jesus will never hurt you. He is the only sinless and safe person, and he will keep and sustain you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When you think about sharing your faith with someone, do you feel inadequate too?<\/strong> Perhaps you play out scenarios in your mind where someone starts asking you theological questions you can\u2019t answer. Or maybe you envision accidentally saying the \u201cwrong\u201d thing, prompting them to become combative or angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have some good news for both of us: <strong>God the Holy Spirit uses inadequate people like you and me in mind-blowing, transformative&nbsp;ways!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such is the confidence we have through Christ before God. It is not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God. (Read 2&nbsp;Corinthians 3:4-5.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This barrier of inadequacy is also an invitation. <strong>Jesus is calling you to grow in the grace and knowledge of knowing him<\/strong>. For example, if you\u2019re noticing that you are nervous about sharing some aspect of the gospel or being asked about some theological point, you don\u2019t have to stay in that feeling: You can do something with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first came to Jesus, I was enthusiastic with very little biblical knowledge. One day, I was sharing the gospel with someone who didn\u2019t know Jesus\u2014but who did know the Bible. He turned me into a theological pretzel. After being spiritually kicked around like a soccer ball for two hours, I walked to my car with my head hanging low. Before I drove off, I put my head on the steering wheel and cried. Then I made Jesus a promise: that I would never allow that to happen again. I promised to study the Bible and learn theology and apologetics. Jesus has done too much for me and the world for me not to prepare myself for conversations about him. (Read 1 Peter 3:15.) One of the reasons I have a doctorate in the New Testament in context and a master of divinity with a concentration in apologetics is because of that moment. When you\u2019re lit up with love, you want to be equipped for whatever questions or needs you encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we don\u2019t need an advanced degree in theology or apologetics to study Scripture and learn how to thoughtfully respond to many people\u2019s most basic questions. (Read 2 Timothy 2:15 and perhaps some apologetics resources.) We don\u2019t need to be a counselor or a pastor to empathize with how they\u2019ve been wounded. Jesus is too good and too beautiful for us not to study and be prepared. (Read 1 Peter 3:15-16.) He is too invested in people\u2019s restoration for us to not learn how to be with them in their pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re ready, move on to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/2025\/01\/why-people-are-indifferent-about-sharing-the-good-news\/\">The Barrier of Indifference<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hubs.la\/Q032V1Vv0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Lit-Up-with-Love-1024x341.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Lit-Up-with-Love-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Lit-Up-with-Love-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Lit-Up-with-Love-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/Lit-Up-with-Love.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-4 wp-block-columns\" style=\"padding-top:2.5rem;padding-right:2.5rem;padding-bottom:2.5rem;padding-left:2.5rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/pic_420_Gray_Derwin.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/pic_420_Gray_Derwin.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/01\/pic_420_Gray_Derwin-228x300.jpg 228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-3 wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<h2>Derwin L.
