Have you ever wanted to share your faith story with someone but were worried about making them feel uncomfortable? It's totally normal to feel like that, and there are ways to share your story without pushing others away or making them uncomfortable.

In today's reading, we'll see how Jesus told his disciples not to worry about what to say when they are about to share their stories. He told them everything they'd need to know would come from the Holy Spirit. If we go into a conversation about our faith with the goal of converting someone, we might accidentally make someone feel trapped. Instead, we can focus on sharing our personal experiences with God and create space for a good conversation.

One way we can help others become more comfortable is to listen first. You can ask questions and show interest in their story before sharing your own. This shows you care about them and you're not just trying to push your own beliefs on them. When you share your story, you can give them space to respond however they feel. It would be awesome if they chose to follow Jesus, but they also might have some follow up questions or want to talk about something else entirely.

We can learn to share our stories in ways that make people more comfortable. By listening first, sharing our experiences, and giving space for response, we can show our care for others while faithfully sharing our stories.
