How to Share Your Story
How to Share Your Story – Telling Others About Jesus
Hey friend! By now, you’ve started growing in your faith, and you might be wondering, How do I share what Jesus has done in my life? The truth is, your story is powerful. It’s unique, personal, and has the potential to encourage and inspire others to seek Jesus.
Why Share Your Story?
People may debate theology, but they can’t argue with your personal experience. When you tell your story, you’re sharing how Jesus has transformed your life—and that can be the very thing that leads someone else to Him.
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” (1 Peter 3:15)
Step 1: Reflect on Your Journey
Think about what your life was like before knowing Jesus. What struggles, doubts, or challenges did you face? How did you feel? This helps others relate to your experience.
Ask yourself:
- What was my life like before Christ?
- What led me to accept Him?
- How has my life changed since then?
Step 2: Keep It Simple and Genuine
You don’t have to be a theologian to share your story. In fact, the simpler and more relatable, the better. Speak from the heart and be honest about your journey.
A basic structure to follow:
- Before Jesus: What was your life like before knowing Him?
- Meeting Jesus: What happened that led you to put your faith in Him?
- After Jesus: How has He changed your life?
Step 3: Connect Your Story to the Gospel
Your testimony should always point to Jesus. Sharing your personal experience is powerful, but make sure to explain what Jesus did for you and how others can receive Him too.
You can say something like:
“When I realized I couldn’t save myself and needed Jesus, I asked Him to forgive me and take control of my life. He gave me peace, purpose, and a new identity.”
“The same Jesus who changed my life can change yours too. He loves you, and He’s waiting for you to come to Him.”
Step 4: Share It with Boldness and Love
Not everyone will respond positively, and that’s okay! Your role is to share in love and let the Holy Spirit work in their hearts.
Jesus said:
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16:15)
Don’t be afraid—God will use your story in ways you can’t imagine!
Step 5: Practice and Start Sharing
- Write down your testimony and practice sharing it with a friend.
- Look for opportunities to share in everyday conversations.
- Post about your faith journey on social media.
- Ask God to lead you to people who need to hear your story.
