Living Out Loud: Letting Your Love for God Flow into Your Everyday Language
If you cringe at the thought of awkwardly bringing up your faith with others, you’re in good company.
While most of us have the desire to share the gospel, we don’t always know how to bring it up. Let’s face it... it’s not easy to go from “How's the weather?” to “Jesus died for you”; and no one is walking up to us on the street asking, “What must I do to be saved?” So what’s a well-intentioned Christian to do?
Enter Living Out Loud.
Living out loud isn’t a strategy for sharing the gospel; it’s about being so comfortable in your own spiritual skin that conversations about faith happen naturally and spontaneously. It’s about making God such an integral part of your daily life that you can’t help but talk about him - at home, at work, with family, and with friends - not as a sales pitch, but as a facet of your regular conversations.
When your faith becomes obvious to those around you in the way you speak and live and love, evangelism stops seeming like a duty and simply flows from who you are.
Now doesn’t that sound better than having another awkward conversation?

Loved this book! It was easy to read. A very organic and natural way to be who God made you and share your Faith with others. My small group changed a lot from this study.

Such clear, realistic instruction for living your life honestly as a spiritual person. Kevin writes with such a sincere and warm tone - just like he speaks in real life. Would highly recommend this to anyone wrestling with how to live as a person of faith but worried about seeming inauthentic.

Living Out Loud has a very simple main point, yet it’s one that many people have never heard taught before. I certainly hadn’t, in nearly 30 years attending church, before I heard it from Kevin himself. This is something he has practiced himself and taught to others for a long time. And even though the main point is not difficult and I’ve heard him teach it before, I really loved reading it as Kevin and Christine develop it here.
This is a book about living out God’s presence in your life to others. Unlike many teachings on “sharing your faith,” it won’t make you feel stressed, inadequate, or needing to memorize some specific method; instead, it will inspire you to a deeply genuine, loving way of living out of the overflow of your relationship with Jesus. It’s a way to notice more who God puts in your path, to stop stifling the ways the Spirit may prompt you to speak, and to live in a loving and prayerful way that is open to God using you unexpectedly.
Big kudos for the chapter about doing this as an introvert. I also really like the way that it advocates patient love rather than pushiness.
Probably my favorite book on the topic now, and definitely one I would recommend.

As Jesus prepared to send his followers ahead into towns he would soon visit, he encouraged them with one crucial detail that hasn’t changed in more than two thousand years. Simply this: The harvest is plentiful (Luke 10:2).
In Living Out Loud, Kevin King of International Project, shares from scripture and personal experience how and why we should work to overcome our tendency to keep our faith private and quiet. He addresses many of the most common obstacles and stumbling blocks and invites us to live our faith “out loud” so others can experience it, too.
This book is a winsome and practical read. Think about sharing it with someone in your church or going through it with a group. Although the book includes examples from the author’s work among internationals in New York City, it’s crafted for broad appeal, not just for missionary-types or American Christians. The authors also created a six-session discussion guide that you may find helpful.
You may want to buy the book just for the “sidebar for introverts” and the short appendix on “bringing Shema statements into your daily language.” Good stuff and deliberately non-prescriptive.

Simply the best book on evangelism that I know about!

"Living Out Loud" by Kevin King gets to the heart of why North American evangelicals like me don't share our faith more often. I felt a few 'ouches' as I read. Like that I've bought in to mass media's messaging that no one is thinking about spiritual matters or life's big questions. Like that I assume even bringing up a spiritual topic in casual conversation ("God really has blessed your home country, South Korea, in the last 70 years, hasn't He?" is one I tossed out there recently*) is likely to be interpreted as too pushy a/o insulting. Like I never thought of having my bible study group share 'Shema statements' we have tossed out there weekly - giving the group the opportunity to share in the joy of Jesus harvesting his harvest and giving each other the joy of being strengthened by the faith of others. My 'ouches' are all the more painful as I am a recently retired pastor of 40 years. But never too old to learn from a guy like Kevin. *His response: "GOD! WHAT IS GOD?" said without an ounce of sarcasm. We had a good gospel conversation. I'm looking forward to introducing him to a believing Korean friend as soon as her cancer treatment is over.

This book was interesting, practical, thought-provoking, and exciting! I now feel challenged to live out loud. The main point of the book is that sharing our faith can be natural, and it should be part of our normal conversation to talk about God. Instead of holding back from saying spiritual things in secular friendships, we should be bold and let it flow out naturally. It should be part of who we are. And the author tells many stories of how this opens doors. It's practical and gives ideas on how to bring Jesus into your day to day interactions, but it also talks about how in order to genuinely live out loud we need to be so full of Jesus that it naturally spills over into every part of our lives.
I'd definitely recommend this book!

I learned so much from these two authors. The ideas in the book seemed basic and obvious in some ways, yet gave me a new way of thinking about evangelism that I’ve never considered before. It was challenging because it presents evangelism as suprisingly simple, largely because if we truly love God with all our hearts and are living out the shema, we will be more likely to speak freely about Him in everyday conversations with people and not seeing it as a monologue that needs to be given. And I agree with the authors that people are less turned off by our spirituality than we might fear. What a great book!

If you have been a part of church and know you want to share your faith but have no idea why it’s so hard in the moment, this book will help with all of those fears, insecurities and barriers we have! I can attest to the practicality of living out these perspectives they share and how easy it can be with some tweaks to how we live out our faith.

3.5 ⭐️ rounded up.
Admittedly, I only skimmed the second half of this book 🫣 overall, a great read that I would recommend! It just felt soo similar to other books I’ve read (spiritual multiplication in the real world!!!) and I have a growing list of books I’m more eager to read at the moment and I need to return this one to a friend 😌

Absolute must read for evangelism in American culture. Very shaping and eye opening book. My life will never be the same.

Practical, easy to read, inspiring, challenging, biblical.
The approach presented in this book is changing my life. I pray it will also change the lives of the people I engage spiritually and otherwise would not have.
