Remember WhenBeispiel

At the end of every week, we'll give you a challenge—something to try that might be outside your regular routine. Each challenge is designed to help you develop one important spiritual habit. This week, it's...

SHARE YOUR STORY

You've probably been told it's really important to share your story of faith with others. But sometimes we think we don't have a story to tell or we're not ready or experienced enough to share it. But the truth is, you do have stories to share, and you're ready right now! Today's challenge is going to help you identify a part of your story that's worth sharing, and then help you share it. Because sharing your story can help others, but sharing it helps you grow, too!

CHALLENGE

The holiday season can be lonely for many people. What's meant to be a joyful time can also be a reminder of broken relationships or loss. Sitting with someone in their sadness can be awkward, but that's the meaning of Immanuel: God with us.

Today, list all the places you see people you don't know very well. Maybe people in a specific class at school, new teammates at practice, or someone at an after-school club. Make a plan to spend time with someone from one of those places who could use a story of a time God showed up for you.

Your story can help someone feel less alone this Christmas.
