Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Psalm 36:5 tells us, “Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.” And it’s so true—God is faithful. And I love telling other people about how faithful He’s been to me. Now, it reminds me of the passage in Joshua 4, where the Israelites cross over the Jordan River. When God parted the waters, Joshua commanded one man from each one of the twelve tribes to pick up a stone from the bottom of the river. And on the other side, they piled up these stones up as a monument to God’s faithfulness in preparing a way for them through the Jordan. As forgetful people, we need to do the same. We need to inscribe on our hearts the acts of faithfulness that God has done in our lives and boldly share them with others. And you know what? God will use them to open conversation.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
What have you seen God do in your life? Now, the truth is, we all have hundreds of what we like to call “God stories.” These are times you’ve experienced God moving in your life, like a change that He’s brought about, an answered prayer, a restored relationship, or the moment you put your saving faith in Jesus. Now when sharing one of your “God stories” with another person, make the contrast for them. Start with what life was like before the change or before God stepped in. And then, share what God did. End your testimony with something about the confidence that you have concerning Heaven and eternal life. An example would be something like, “The greatest thing of all of this is that I know for sure that if I died today, I’m going to go to Heaven.” This leads very naturally to asking them questions about their own spiritual life and sharing the Gospel with them!

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
In a culture that combats finding what is true and what’s a lie, people now more than ever are looking for genuine, authentic relationships. They want to hear the truth. When it comes to sharing our testimonies, it’s important to remember to be genuine and vulnerable when telling others our story. God may have you sharing with a Divine Appointment—a person that He has drawn to you to hear your story for a purpose. It could be the very same struggles or hurts that you’ve faced they’re facing now. It could be the very things God has redeemed in your life they’re dealing with in their own life. So make sure to ask the Holy Spirit to guide your conversation about what you should share, and be open and truthful with what God has done in your life. Not sure how to share your testimony?

I meet a lot of Christians who tell me that their story doesn't matter. Maybe that’s you! Have you ever questioned the significance of your testimony or thought that no one was interested in hearing it? Allow me to share a profound truth from Revelation 12:11 with you: “And they overcame [the enemy] by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony…” Your testimony is not just a story but a powerful tool in the hands of God. When Jesus healed the man filled with demons in the Gadarenes, He said, “Go home to your friends and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he has had compassion on you.” We are called to do the same! Often, when people hear about how Jesus has changed our lives, it leads to an opportunity to share the Gospel. Visit whatsmystory.org to use our free online testimony builder.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
How do we make the connection? When it comes to sharing the most important part of our lives, our relationship with Jesus, how do we naturally and lovingly start the conversation? Well, think about what you like to talk about with your friends. You want to hear about their life! And this is true about your coworkers, friends, and family—they want to know about your life, too. You might be surprised at how many of them would love to hear your story about how Jesus has changed your life. This is why our testimonies are so powerful! God has crafted the human heart to connect with others through sharing experiences. Jesus connected with people the same way—through hearing their stories and sharing with them about Who He is—the Savior who has come to redeem them.

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
If you’ve seen someone leave a Gospel tract in a restaurant or hand one to a stranger walking by, have you ever thought, "I wonder if they’ll read it?” I’d like to suggest that our first and best response should be to ask the Holy Spirit to compel the person to read it as He did with Philip. Philip was sitting on a park bench talking on his phone when someone walked by and handed him a Gospel tract. The Holy Spirit prompted Philip to open it. So he did, and he read the whole thing. Romans 3:23 jumped off the page, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Philip was convicted, and he repented. Now, it just so happened that he read EE’s Do You Know For Sure? tract. Philip has since ordered them and started a tract ministry.
