ADVICE

Share Faith Through Personal Story

  • Talk about your faith by describing how it shapes your own life and actions.
  • Avoid turning conversations into arguments or treating people like projects.
INSIGHT

Gospel's Strangeness Can Open Conversation

  • The gospel will feel strange at first and may not be immediately relatable.
  • Honest, humble explanation often opens deeper conversation than silence or soft-selling.
ADVICE

Translate Instead Of Using Christianese

  • Translate Christian terms into clear, descriptive language for nonbelievers.
  • Explain underlying beliefs rather than relying on shorthand phrases or insider words.
