A nonbeliever friend of mine is lost and in need of Christ. He has recently shown receptivity and curiosity for the Christian message. I continue to pray for God to draw him to Himself.
This friend has previously never had much inclination to philosophical thinking and the like, until recently. He has spoken favorably about Jordan Peterson and owns a copy of his book "12 Rules for Life". I have never seen him reading anything before so this may be a change in his priorities. I think he is searching for meaning.
I don't have much respect for self-help books nor Peterson's dishonest use of the Christian ethos in his efforts to reform his cult following of young, wayward men. I have mentioned the latter once to my friend but I did not want to belittle what could be his first real search for true meaning in life, so I said no more.
How do you all think I should approach my friend to share the Gospel?
Would it look any differently than if I wanted to talk to any atheist?
More info: A stumbling block for my friend is how he sees the morals of the Bible. He is unconvinced, for example, that a heterosexual marriage is at all more morally good than a homosexual union since a homosexual union is between consenting adults and "doesn't hurt anyone". As far as I can tell, his view of morality is that people just do what works for them and that is what's good.
Following my gut I intend to share first and foremost my love of Christ and how mind-blowing he is as seen in the Bible.
This thread may not be necessary since my friend hasn't seen fit to bring up Peterson again, but I thought it could provoke some good discussion. Thoughts?
