  Episode 1347: Your Personality Might Be Your Greatest Strength

  Aug 20, 20266 min

  You don't have to be a preacher, debater, or outgoing personality to make a difference in someone's life.

Instead of comparing yourself to someone else's strengths, what could happen if you started using the gifts God already gave you?

  Episode 1345: You Don't Need All the Answers to Share Your Faith

  Aug 18, 20266 min

  Some people need honest answers before they're ready to consider faith. Others simply need to hear how Jesus has changed someone's life. Today we'll explore two very different ways of sharing faith: the intellectual style we see in Paul's conversations in Athens and the testimonial style of the man Jesus healed in John 9. Whether you're wired to wrestle with difficult questions or simply tell your own story, God can use what you already have. Which approach sounds more like you?
