How to Share Your Faith With Confidence

Last month we talked about taking the initiative to begin spiritual conversations — bridging the gap between “Hi, how are you and the kids doing?” and confidently asking questions like, “Would you like to come to church with me next Sunday?” or “Do you believe there is an afterlife?”

But once someone opens the door for deeper conversation, many believers ask:
“What do I say next?”

Take heart — sharing your faith is not a formal presentation, but a natural conversation just like any other meaningful topic.

Do You Know Your Story — and Jesus’ Story?

Every born-again Christian should be able to answer two essential questions:

1. “How did you meet Jesus?”
2. “How can someone else meet Him too?”

If a non-believer approached you today and asked:
“How can I know Jesus?”
or
“How can I know I’m going to heaven?”
could you clearly explain the Gospel in a way that — if they believed it — they would be saved?

This is why we must remind ourselves of the Gospel daily.
We forget. We get distracted. We drift.

The Gospel isn’t “Christianity 101.”
We never graduate from it.

Here is the clearest summary of the Gospel you can preach to your own heart every day:

“Christ died for your sins, and rose from the grave.”

Everything flows from that truth.

There Is No Perfect Method — Only a Perfect Savior

There’s no flawless formula for sharing Jesus.

There are unhelpful ways (like anger or arguing), but no “magic words” that guarantee conversion.
Why? Because salvation is a heart issue, not an intellectual puzzle.

The Holy Spirit convicts.
The Holy Spirit draws.
The Holy Spirit saves.

We are simply the messengers — and what a relief that is!
But what a tragedy when we shrink back and miss the honor of being part of someone’s redemption story.

God Uses Your Personality — Not a Script

If you know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, then you hold the cure for death — the message of eternal life.

And God has uniquely shaped your personality for His mission:

• Soft-spoken or loud
• Introverted or outgoing
• Gentle or bold

Your voice matters.
Your story matters.
Your obedience matters.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach — but there must be an approach.

We are all ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20).
Ambassadors don’t wait to be approached; they know their message and speak with purpose.

Strangely, we easily explain how to apply for a job, but struggle to explain how to become a child of God — our true identity.
That must change.

Let’s Practice Together

I’d love to help you grow through a practice Gospel conversation.

Scenario:
We’re at church, no rush, chatting casually. I ask:

“You are very kind and wise. I hear different answers on this — how would you say someone becomes a Christian?”

“If I want to become a Christian today, how do I do that? What makes someone a Christian? How did you become a Christian?”

You can reply briefly or with a full explanation.
Send your response, and I’ll help you refine it.
