  1. The world hinders my boldness to share my faith...it is definitaley something that I need to become better at doing...Faith of Our Fathers! by Frederick W. Faber in 1849

  2. Sharing with fellow believers is actually easy. It is the fear of sharing with unbelievers that is challenging. For me, it is my lack of knowledge that sometimes keeps me from sharing. Something I know I need to work on to confidently lead others to Christ. I have had experiences where I have been bold in the sharing of my faith and had people later tell me how much that helped them with something they are struggling with. That makes me realize that the Holy Spirit is indeed within me and I need to overcome the fear associated with not having enough knowledge.

  3. What hinders me from sharing my faith is fear of rejection and the fact that I'm not as well-versed in the Word as I'd like to be. Funny enough, in the passage Paul tells us that "God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline."
    As I read through the Bible, I realize that God uses broken people for His glory. Moses was afraid to speak, and yet God used him of all people to save the Israelites (with the help of his brother Aaron.) I believe that God wouldn't give us anything we can't handle, and He will equip us with exactly what we need to do the part that we were called for.

    I hope Rich's testimony went well yesterday!
    If anyone has a video, please share =)

    Happy April, everyone. Here's to a new month.
