But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.  1 Peter 3:15

One of the greatest ways to experience the life God has in store for you is by sharing your faith with people who are completely clueless about Jesus. It’s what we’re all here to do. Yet, many people hesitate or do the push back because they think that talking about Jesus is reserved for the preachers and Bible teachers of the world. But sharing your faith isn’t about debating cold hard facts, historical dates or genealogical statistics. It’s simply about sharing your personal story.  Your story is something that has happened to you. If you are a Christ follower, then you have a “before I met Christ” and an “after I met Christ” story. That’s all you need to know in order to effectively share your faith. God allows us all opportunities to share our stories with people around us. Remember, you may be the only link that someone has to Christ. And your story may be the one thing they need to hear in order to turn to Jesus. Are you sharing that story? It’s time that you did. And leave the rest up to God.

Lord, Because of your grace in my life, I have a story that you want me to tell others about how I met your son. Help me to gain the courage I need to effectively share my faith, and please give me the words to say to help bring them closer to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
