The Making Of預覽

At the end of every week, we'll give you a challenge—something to try that might be outside your regular routine. Each challenge is designed to help you develop one important spiritual habit. This week, it's...

SHARE YOUR STORY

You've probably been told it's really important to share your story of faith with others. But sometimes we think we don't have a story to tell or we're not ready or experienced enough to share it. But the truth is, you do have stories to share, and you're ready right now! Today's challenge is going to help you identify a part of your story that's worth sharing, and then help you share it. Because sharing your story can help others, but sharing it helps you grow, too!

CHALLENGE

Maybe you've heard an adult say something like, "I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did." Depending on what they're talking about, our response could be welcoming of the advice or dismissive. But the truth is, we can learn from our mistakes—and others can, too!

For today's challenge, share a story about how you made things right with God with someone at least two years younger than you. Use your experience of repentance to show them that turning to God can fuel growth and a more fulfilling life. It could be that you already know someone who's struggling, and you can help with your unique story, or you might write your story down in advance and ask God to show you someone who could use it.
