How to Share Jesus in a Relatable Way

A Personal Approach to Share Your Faith

Do you have a hard time making faith conversations feel less awkward and more natural? Well, hindi ka nag-iisa. This is actually a very common experience for many Christians. But it's important (and reassuring) to remember that God equips every believer to share the Good News!

So, how can we make faith conversations less awkward and more natural?

Let's learn from the man Himself, Jesus! Jesus was a storyteller. He liked using parables to teach deep truths in ways that are easy to understand.

In the same way, we can use stories of God's faithfulness in our lives to start faith conversations. Just as Jesus used everyday moments to reveal eternal truths, your story can help others see how real and present God is in their own lives. People may argue with doctrine, pero hindi nila pwedeng itanggi ang lived experience mo about putting your faith in Jesus. Think about it—sharing your testimony isn’t about having all the answers, but pointing to the One who changed your life. So take some time and ask yourself: “Why do I follow Jesus?”

"What difference has He made in my life?" When you remember the reason for your hope, sharing your faith becomes less about appearing like you have it all together and more about showing God’s grace at work in you. At the end of the day, sharing our testimonies is less about highlighting ourselves and more about telling people about God's faithfulness with the hope of pointing them to Christ.

<0>Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Your testimony is a reflection of God's handiwork in your life. When you share your story, you are proclaiming the work God has done. It's not about your glory, it's about His. Like Paul, you boast not in your strength, but in your weakness, so that Christ's power may be made known (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Here are some practical tips for sharing your testimony:

(1) Keep Christ at the Center

Your story is powerful not because of anything you’ve done, but because of what Jesus has done in your life. Focus on how God's grace, mercy, and power shaped you. Yes, your testimony is a great way to start a faith conversation, pero tandaan mo: your story isn't the gospel. Ang pinaka-importanteng message pa rin is what Jesus did for us on the cross - that's the Good News we're called to share.

(2) Be Real and Honest 

Hindi mo kailangan ng super dramatic story to get people's attention. Ang importante is to honestly share what God has done in your life, even the struggles and doubts. Being real builds trust and helps people connect with your story.

As 2 Corinthians 4:7 says, we carry this treasure in jars of clay to show that the extraordinary power belongs to God, not us.

(3) Know your "Before and After"

Briefly share what your life was like before you met Christ, how you came to know Him, and what has changed since.

Dapat clear yung contrast—not just to others, pero para sa'yo rin.

Ask yourself: What evidence shows your life has been transformed? Are you bearing fruit now that you’re in Christ? How do you know you’re truly saved?

It’s important to be confident in your own faith and transformation so that what you share truly points others to Christ.

(4) Keep it clear and concise

It’s important to share your story with heart, but also with clarity and brevity. Don't turn it into a monologue! Let the conversation flow by inviting their questions and asking some of your own - just like Jesus did when He engaged with others. Now take some time to reflect and journal about these points.

Pray for open opportunities to share your testimony, pointing people to Jesus and bringing Him glory.
