Do you think it's harder to witness to a family member than it is to someone you may never meet again? If so, why?

A stranger. Your family is filled with all your past "sins" and they tend to be more skeptical then a stranger. Our families judge us harder then anyone. As hard as I'm trying to change and as much as they give me a hard time about anything I do, I try to just keep my mouth shut and let actions speak louder then words.

It would depend on how close the family member is to the one witnessing. The reason for this is that they have known us for years and have seen our ups and downs, and they tend to remember only the dumb stuff that we've done and not the good. But thank the Great Lord our God that He judges only the heart!!!!

God and I hope I can help someone.

Yeah, because family members tend to be judge mental and closed minded to new ideas from family members.

A stranger because of all the family baggage you come with as a family. they are still hearting that instead of your message.

Yes it is. Jesus said "A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house." As the saying goes "familiarity breeds contempt".

Just as Jesus was not accepted in His hometown. He was heard by the people that He travelled to.
