Their Story (Spiritual Journey)

Learning to genuinely listen first: asking someone to walk you through their own spiritual journey before you ever share yours. It builds trust, uncovers where God is already at work in their life, and turns a gospel conversation into a real relationship instead of a sales pitch.

The 3-Story Sequence

1. Their Story — Ask the person to walk you through their own spiritual journey: where they’ve come from, what they believe now, and where they feel they stand with God. Just listen — no correcting, no rushing ahead to the gospel yet.
2. Your Story — Share your own testimony simply and briefly: what your life was like before Christ, how you encountered Him, and what’s different now. See the Your Story (Testimony) tool →
3. God’s Story — Share the gospel using 3-Circles: God’s good design, how sin broke it, and how Jesus restores it. See the God’s Story (3-Circles) tool →
