He meets one-on-one with Navigator staff <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/staff\/23715618\/\">Mike Cain<\/a>. One day Shane asked, \u201cMike, would you teach me how to share the gospel with someone?\u201d Shane felt he lacked graciousness and clarity.<\/p>\n<p>At the campus center cafeteria, Mike approached a student who was passing time between classes. \u201cCould we talk to you about what you believe about spiritual things?\u201d The student agreed. After a few minutes of talking, Mike asked, \u201cWhat is your understanding of why Jesus came to earth?\u201d The student did not know. So Mike shared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/resource\/the-bridge-to-life\/\">the Bridge illustration<\/a>, a common Navigator tool that explains the gospel. The student asked a few questions and wanted to take the illustration home with him. He was also open to talking again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was awesome!\u201d Shane said. \u201cI wanted to take notes the whole time you were talking to him, but I thought that might be weird. Could you teach me that illustration?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shane is just one example of how Navigator students are learning to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with friends and students on campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shane asked the Navigator staff at his campus, \u201cMike, would you teach me how to share the gospel with someone?\u201d Mike showed him the Bridge illustration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_helpful_pro_status":1,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"mission":[150],"topic":[46],"class_list":["post-3374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-disciplemaking","mission-navigators-collegiate","topic-evangelism"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/default-resized.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"The Navigators","author_link":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/staff\/thenavigators\/"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3374"},{"taxonomy":"mission","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mission?post=3374"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=3374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
