Have you ever had something to say and then the thought slips from your mind. Then it just drives you crazy because you know you had something you wanted to talk about but now its gone.
That's where I am. I can't think of it. Wait it just came to me! Woo hoo.
I found a site that was talking about the different ways that people share their faith. This site was interesting to me. I could see people I knew fit the different categories. It intrigued me, just because I think so many times I think things are black and white. There is a "right way" and when I think of the "how to's (step one, two, three)" to share your faith it seems that way. But looking over the site it was more on how you get to that point with people.
Being a contagious Christian doesn’t mean becoming something weird that you don’t want to be, or trying to be something great that you feel you may never be. It means being yourself and letting God work through the natural abilities and personality He has given you
There were six styles mentioned: confrontational - direct, no small talk, ex: Peter, intellectual - logical, like debate, how do you know?, ex: Paul, testimonial - storyteller, shares personal experiences, ex: blind man was healed and told, interpersonal - friendship oriented, warm personality, ex: Matthew the tax collecter, invitational - hospitable, persuasive, ex: woman at well, serving - patient, humble, provides for needs, ex: Dorcas.
Read the page to find out more in detail about these different styles. It was helpful for me to know - hey my way is the way God made me, it's different than someone elses way, but that's ok.
