How to Handle a Hostile Response – Soul Winning Without Fear

Introduction

I’m Pastor Joshua Tapp from True Words Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky — and this is Soul Winning Secrets. From the Scriptures to the streets — we live soul winning. Let’s go fishing for men.


Not Everyone Will Be Nice

Soul winning isn’t always met with open arms. Sometimes it’s met with a slammed door. Or shouting. Or cussing. Or laughing.

Jesus told us it would happen:

“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake…” — Luke 21:17

That doesn’t mean you failed — it means you’re on the front lines of the battle.


Don’t React — Respond Spiritually

When someone is hostile, don’t argue. Don’t snap back. Don’t let your flesh win.

“A soft answer turneth away wrath…” — Proverbs 15:1

Say this:

“I understand, and I just wanted to offer you hope today.”
“Alright, God bless you. I care about you.”

And walk away with joy — because you stood for Christ.


Let Persecution Prove Your Purpose

“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you… rejoice, and be exceeding glad…” — Matthew 5:11–12

That cuss-out you got? It might be your heavenly bonus check.


Soul Winning Secret

“If your Gospel never offends, you’re probably not preaching the right one.”
Rejection is normal. But truth must still go out — boldly and with love.


Final Challenge

Don’t fear rejection. Fear silence. Speak the Gospel. Stand strong. You’re not alone — Jesus took worse. And He’s still with you today.


Outro

We’ve seen souls saved week after week — and you can too. Don’t just watch — go fishing. Let’s win the world to Christ, one soul at a time.
