1 Peter 3:15-16 �…you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.

Preparing & Sharing Your Story
Not every person is called to be an evangelist, but every person is called to evangelize.
You don’t have to master the Scriptures to master your story.
Revelation 20:15 �And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Romans 10:9-10�If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.
John 1:22 �“Then who are you? We need an answer for those who sent us. What do you have to say about yourself?”

Working Out My Story
How would you describe the circumstances that caused you to consider Jesus as the solution for you?
What has been going on after that?
What was going on in my life right before I met Jesus?
Ezekiel 3:10-11 �Then he added, “Son of man, let all my words sink deep into your own heart first. Listen to them carefully for yourself. 11 Then go to your people in exile and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says!’ Do this whether they listen to you or not.”
