After true gospel is preached.
A. If you are God's elect, God will give you receive the Holy Spirit=permanent cure to boredom, God will remove your sinful nature and replaces it with Jesus holy nature.
B. If you are nonelect, you will reject the Holy Spirit and nonelects go back to sinning. When I said TV is sin to my family, they got afraid of sinning, after 1 day or so they can't stand the boredom anymore and they go back to sinning.

That is the detailed version for online preaching.
Bottom is open air.
Less than a 4 min gospel you can preach outside of a crowd that is a public place or 3 train stops. If this is what God wants you to do.
Good morning/afternoon/evening ladies and gentlemen, ill be preaching the true gospel and how to receive the Holy Spirit?
After God gave me the Holy Spirit, I found proof that TV, movies, video games and computer games are all sins, except Christian stuff that don’t have sins like sermons. I found out that in them there is stealing, adultery, fornication which is sex before marriage, revenge, jealousy, pride, using God’s name in vain as a curse word, they are all idols (breaks 2nd Commandment) because most people can’t live without them and they love them more than God and more. Just read the 10 commandments for a list.
Now I will be preaching about how to receive the Holy Spirit and be 100% going to Heaven.
First, it’s only by the grace of God that he gives you faith in Jesus Christ in order to give up your sins. It’s only by the grace of God that he leads you to pray to him to destroy all your evil desires of watching TV. When you pray to God to destroy all your evil desires of watching TV, Satan will intervene and extremely tempt you in watching the TV. But if it’s God’s will and if you are one of God’s elects, you will overcome it and God will destroy all your evil desires of watching TV. After God has destroyed all your evil desires of watching TV and if you are one of God’s elects, you receive the joy of the Holy Spirit for a short amount of time.
After the joy wears off, all existence of boredom no longer exists and you no longer burn out (psychology) anymore. That is when you have received the Holy Spirit.
Then it’s by the grace of God that he forgives you of your sins, as you confess and repent of your sins throughout your life which is called sanctification. Just so you know Jesus had to endure the punishment for God’s elects sins which is Hellfire spiritually, which is extreme love and mercy.
If Jesus didn’t die on the cross and endure Hellfire spiritually which is the punishment for sin, God would still be just in sending us all to Hell because we are all guilty of our sins. Remember TV, movies, video games and computer games are all sins, except Christian stuff that don’t have sins like sermons. Just read the 10 commandments for a list. But God was willing to have some mercy, which we don’t deserve because we are all guilty of our sins. At least God was willing to have at least some mercy, better than no mercy at all. That’s it, thank you for listening.

For starters...
the word "gospel" is G2098... used some 77x in the NT (well, in the kjv anyway: https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g2098/kjv/tr/0-2/#lexResults ):
[G2098] euaggelion: good news
Original Word: εὐαγγέλιον, ου, τό
Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: euaggelion
Phonetic Spelling: (yoo-ang-ghel'-ee-on)
Definition: good news

This actually might take a while to explain depending on where someone is at. It could involves hours, days, or months of discipleship.
We cannot take for granted that non-Christians or unchurched people understand Christianese words like: sin, born again, gospel, heaven, hell, repentance, faith, or even who Jesus Christ actually is.
In preaching the gospel, you may encounter that other people hold misunderstandings, false doctrines, misinformation, and a web of pride & ego that obstruct your efforts.
Often the best we can hope for is to plant a seed, get people hungry, get people curious, get people interested in finding out who God is and where we stand with Him. Often, people just need access to a physical or digital copy of the Bible to read.
All that being said, there is a gospel that saves and it does only take about 5 minutes to present when the audience doesn't have questions and comments.

Every time someone put a question to Jesus to trap him, he was in fact doing apologetics. When Paul spoke to the Philosophers on Mars hill he was doing apologetics.
When the church in Acts and History had a council they were doing both theology and apologetics.
When someone was brought before a court they were doing apologetics.
Apologetics and preaching go hand in hand.
When talking with someone with a science background one of the proofs of God is complexity in creation.
Why do you even believe there is a God? That is answered by Special Revelation(the Bible) and Apologetics(Classic arguments for the existence of God).

Knowing God exists and classic arguments for existence of God is unprofitable because it won't lead to repentance . Since I assume 99% of the world are nonelects. Arguing for hours, should be better spent spreading the gospel that takes less than 4mins than move on to the next location.
Matthew 10:14
New King James Version
14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
Matthew 10:18-20
New King James Version
18 You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

That approach might register with someone who is gifted as an evangelist. Not all of us are, and it is unprofitable to criticize those who are gifted differently simply on the basis of those differences. After all, the eye cannot say to the hand, "You aren't needed". God has gifted us as He sees fit. Let's not waste time second-guessing His choices.

I have asked many people asking questions to look into the complexity of Nature. And, many of them came to Jesus. The complexity of nature is one of the arguments for the existence of God. Check any Philosophy Encyclopedia on the existence of God for the basic arguments.
Also, Jesus told the Apostles to preach the Gospel. Not every Christian.
Ephesians 4:11
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
