Cassidy, I have read and listened to much content that promoted the same ideas but never heard it summed up in such a concise and dare I say beautiful way.

The church has it backwards. We are not supposed to tell people about Jesus! We are instead supposed to live our lives in the way you (and Jesus) have said so that people then question why we are like that. Thats when you have the conversation. The key point being that we will always fall short but that shouldn't stop us trying.

At University I used to attend a really big church* and alongside the leaders shoehorning in as many clips from Lord of the Rings as possible (hey, it worked!) was a great sermon entitled 'evangelism is a dance, not a war.' That is you cannot get someone to dance with you by beating them over the head!
