Interested in Spiritual Matters is a part of a quote I read in Contagious Faith, and I’m pondering it with you today.
For Lent 2025, I’ll be writing new blog posts every day. I’m writing for just five unedited minutes on a quote of the day to deepen our faith in this Lenten season.
Day 36 of Lent 2025 – April 9
I read this book when I was leading a Twitter chat for it. (You can join the #HealthyFaith chat on X – just search for the hashtag there, and the times for the chats will pop up).
Contagious Faith is so encouraging about a topic that scares most of us: evangelism. We know we should share our faith, but many of us are too intimidated to try. This excellent book demystifies this for us and gives practical, everyday tips for sharing your faith in natural ways.
An encouraging fact to consider: Gen Z, people under the age of 25, is the most open generation in American history to hearing about the gospel. Older Christians must be intentional in passing our faith to the next generation. The great news is that they are truly open to hearing about it!
Sharing Your Testimony
I’ve written other posts about how to share your testimony – you can read them here:
I’ll share my favorite tip from those posts here from my late pastor Mark Martin – tell your own story. Telling your own story of how God worked in your life is far better than preaching or even sharing relevant Bible verses. He said this is because no one can argue with you about your own story. That’s why it pays to consider your life experiences and how God has used them to shape your faith.
What I’ve learned in sharing my testimony is that people respond most strongly to these types of stories:
- Times that I failed (more than times I succeeded) and how God used that experience to shape my character
- Times God spoke to me and how that message became true years later (you can read the story of how God spoke to me at a James Taylor concert HERE)
- Times of deep trauma that were impossible to survive without God’s help – this seems to speak most loudly to unbelievers
Another key tip is the more you meditate on Bible verses, the more naturally they will come up in your conversations. Your conversations will be sprinkled with salt and light as you weave those Bible truths wisely and intentionally into your words.
You’ll find great encouragement and more practical guidance for sharing your testimony in Contagious Faith, which I encourage you to order HERE.
Join me again tomorrow for another reflection on a different quote.
