News Too Good Not to Share

DAY 2 OF 3

How do we share our story so that others can find the new life we have found in Christ? It’s a process, not just a one-time experience that we memorialize. We’ve all seen what happens to unattended memorials. They get overgrown with weeds. In fact, most of us don’t even know the stories behind a lot of the memorials we see. Trophy cases can get stuffed with prizes, but the awards just end up covered in dust. Life goes on, and we forget to even look at them anymore. 

But kingdom men must never forget what God has done. Kingdom men are to have a transferable faith through engaged communication, rather than memorials to the past, trophies, or stones of remembrance stacked high. Our testimony needs to come from our hearts, be fresh on our lips, and practically impact the lives of those with whom we have contact. 

We are facing a massive failure in transferring our values to the next generation. We have neglected to have the long conversations which speak of both our spiritual victories and our spiritual struggles and failures. We have neglected to go into the specific details of the lessons we’ve learned through our sins. While we might have pointed out our miracle moments and said, “Look what God did,” those success stories are not adequate for discipling someone. Because that’s not the whole story. If we hide our past pains and sins, we don’t end up teaching much of anything at all. As a result, we fail to empower those who come after us in moving forward into their own experience of God.

What would help you become bolder in sharing your testimony with others?

One of the challenges many men face is discomfort in sharing the good news of Christ with others. They may not feel confident in their understanding or ability. They may be fearful of how others will respond. They may feel like they have nothing helpful to say. But bestselling author Tony Evans encourages men that anyone can speak with confidence and honesty as they transfer the kingdom message to others.
