Have you ever had to share in front of your class for a school project? Maybe you begin to sink in your seat with anxious thoughts, or maybe you can't wait to have the attention of everyone in the room! Either way, the truth is . . . it's not always about how you feel in these moments, it's about what you have to say and its impact.

Most of us have a story of how God has met us, and you might still be discovering what that looks like. The good news is, that we're all on this journey with God. One of the greatest tools we have to encourage and help others is to share what God has done in our lives. In his letter, Peter encourages people to have an answer when people ask about the hope we have. Basically, he is saying if you spend time reflecting on what God is doing in your life, you will be ready to talk about it when the opportunity comes up.

Spend some time writing down your faith story — what about your experience is unique to you?
