       The secular author Susan Cain wrote an excellent section in her 2012 book titled ‘Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking.” She basically explains that the modern Evangelical church puts a great emphasis on one being outgoing, and the reason for this noted is that because if someone doesn’t witness, another person could end up in Hell (see pages 62 to 70). Yet, she also points out elsewhere in her book that people are designed differently, we would say created by God differently, some to be extroverts and some to be introverts. Even the Apostle Paul himself alludes to this when he talks about the different giftings from the Holy Spirit given to believers. The eagerness to witness to every person on the face of the planet regardless of natural and spiritual tendencies is truly, in reality, a fear-based doctrine, that really, at the end of the day, has no foundation in the New Testament.
