Step One = One Step

When it comes to evangelizing, when it comes to sharing the redemptive story of Jesus Christ, when it comes to sharing our story, we look for an easy 1-2-3 process to guide us. Can you blame us? Every new appliance or electronic device has an easy to use process to get it started. Fast food chains have step-by-step processes for placing your order. We’re saturated with guides and directions, structure and process.

Why should sharing our story be any different?

You could probably map out your own strategy for sharing your story. You could probably detail your every step, your every move, your every word. But, people are different. What works for you may not work for someone else. There is, however, one step that we must all take.

This one step, this universal, everybody’s gotta do it step, is just that, a step. It’s that first step out of your comfort zone. It’s that first step away from what’s familiar. It’s that awkward, challenging step towards the unknown.

What will they think?
How will they respond?

You’re not alone in this process. Remember, it’s a step that everyone must take. As long as you remain silent, you remain an advocate for nothing. The moment you decide to take that step, the moment you decide to speak up, the moment you realize someone else’s future is more important than your present, you become an advocate for Christ.

Be brave.
Take that first step.
Do it today.

Life is filled with moments, with possibilities, will you make the most of them?
