The third session of Just Walk Across the Room was about sharing your faith story in a way that appeals to people. After all, why walk across the room to scare someone off or bore them to tears?
The DVD gave some excellent examples of how to tell a bad story, and of how to tell a good story. In a nutshell, keep it short, clear, and to the point. Briefly tell your listener what your life was like before your experience with God, what your experience with God was, and how that experience changed you.
For a couple of examples of faith stories from scripture, check out John 9:24-25 and Acts 22:1-21.
The end of class was spent working on polishing the way we tell our own faith stories. If you're interested in sharing (or just practicing in a friendly environment and getting feedback), there will be opportunities to tell your story in class in the weeks to come.
