Simply Share: Helping Ordinary Christians Clearly Share Jesus in an Age of Confusion

Many believers care about the lost around them but feel unprepared to explain the Gospel with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Simply Share is a practical, step-by-step training booklet that equips everyday Christians to tell Their story, Your story, and Jesus’ story in natural conversations—at home, at work, and across the public square.

What Simply Share is

• A Church–Defender resource in FPIW’s “Bringing My World to Christ” series, designed to be used with slides in a discovery–discussion–teaching format for classes, small groups, and outreach trainings.
• A field guide for relational evangelism that takes seriously the reality of hell, the urgency of the Gospel, and the breadth of the public square—from laborers and small business owners to government officials and the marginalized.

A simple three-story framework

Simply Share organizes evangelism around three interlocking stories that anyone can learn and use:

• Their story: How to slow down, ask open-ended questions, show genuine interest, and listen for “open doors” so people feel loved, not treated like projects.
• Your story: A clear, three-part testimony pattern from Acts 26—your life before Christ, how you met Christ, and your life now—plus prompts to write a 500-word version and practice it with others, ending with “Has anything like that ever happened to you?”
• Jesus’ story: A Bible-saturated presentation of the Gospel using 1 Corinthians 15:1–8 and a “Bible plan of salvation” (John 3; Romans 3, 5, 6, 10; Ephesians 2; Hebrews 9; 1 John 5) that explains sin, judgment, the cross, grace, and assurance.

Practical skills and transition tools

The booklet addresses one of the hardest parts of evangelism—moving from casual talk to spiritual conversation:

• Explains why “slowing down” matters and outlines four risks of rushing: missing God’s work in someone’s life, treating them like a project, creating awkwardness, and appearing inauthentic.
• Offers tested transition questions like “Has anyone ever shown you from the Bible how you can know you’ll go to heaven when you die?” and “If someone asked you what a Christian is, what would you say?”
• Provides seven “things to remember” when sharing—avoid insider language, avoid exaggeration, be clear and concise, share what Christ has done in you, include Scripture, and call to repentance and commitment.

Steps to peace with God

Using a classic “Steps to Peace with God” outline (adapted from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association), Simply Share walks readers through:

• God’s plan (peace and life), our problem (separation), God’s remedy (the cross), and our response (receiving Christ by faith).
• A simple four-part response—admit, repent, believe, receive—and a sample prayer for those ready to trust Christ.

Visual diagrams contrast human attempts (religion, good works, morality, philosophy) with Christ as the only bridge between sinful people and a holy God.

Public square urgency and audience

Simply Share keeps the mission front-and-center:

• Reminds believers that people apart from Jesus—whether neighbors, coworkers, officials, or business leaders—are lost, blind, bound, condemned, under wrath, helpless, and hopeless.
• Stresses that if hell is real and Jesus is the only way, love compels Christians to speak, not stay silent.
• Applies Abraham Kuyper’s vision—Christ claims every inch of creation—to the reality that the Gospel must be shared across every sphere of the public square.

Ideal audiences and uses

• Churches that want a concrete, reproducible evangelism pathway instead of one-time events or guilt-driven appeals.
• Small groups, youth ministries, and leadership teams training members to share Christ in their own networks.
• FPIW Defenders who see that cultural change requires not only policy engagement but also personal evangelism that brings men and women to saving faith in Jesus.

By combining biblical urgency, relational wisdom, and practical tools, Simply Share equips believers to be intentional, compassionate witnesses—so they can lovingly tell others of Jesus Christ and invite them to peace with God, one conversation at a time.
