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 ‭NIV‬‬

Providing an answer is different from providing a defense.

All too often we are provoked into an argument by someone disguised as a seeker but who actually just wants to win a debate.

Each of us has his his own reasoning, experience, or both, that was pivotal to our conversion.

You need not be a bible answerman, apologist, or Charlie Kirk to share the reason for your faith and hope with one who asks.

I’m convinced the reason many are reluctant to share is belief that their testimony won’t be satisfying enough to bring another to Christ.

Our call is to share our circumstances, reasonings, and experiences. It is God’s job to do the rest.

What we share and how we share will often resonate with a sincere seeker, provoking them to further study on their own or, if you’re lucky, with you as their guide.

The word of God can stand on its own. It’s been studied and scrutinized by the best and always wins every test.

Just as you’ve found it to be so, others will take the same journey after you only to discover the same.

Share your faith, not your fears.
