How are you doing in sharing your faith with the people around you?

We struggle with sharing what we believe, sometimes for good reasons. We don’t want to be seen as pushy or telling others what they should believe or imply what they believe is wrong. Nor do we want to be seen as dogmatic or rigid and unaccepting of others.

And yet at the same time, our faith does have meaning to us, and we only have the faith we have because someone somewhere shared what they felt was meaningful for their lives with us. We then decided that faith in Jesus was something that meant something in our lives.

One of the last things Jesus shared with his followers in Matthew was to “go and make disciples.” Our new sermon series, As You Go: Learning to Share Our Faith, helps us unpack our negative feelings about talking about our faith, why it’s still important, and how to do so in a way that feels like the heartfelt invitation it can be.
