About the Book
Sharing your faith doesn’t have to be intimidating.
Celebrate 25 years of this practical approach to sharing
your faith. How to Talk About Jesus Without Freaking Out
shows Christians how to move beyond fear and awkwardness
and have natural conversations about Jesus.
At the heart of the book is a simple three-step method:
Their Story, Your Story, His Story.
Based on decades of teaching and real-world experience,
this warm and humorous guide offers practical techniques
for explaining the gospel—including approaches using
just one verse or even one tweet.
You don’t have to be a theologian, have all the answers,
or force a conversation. You can learn to listen,
share what God has done in your own life, and introduce
others to the story of Jesus.
A Simple Three-Step Approach
Their Story. Your Story. His Story.
Meaningful conversations about Jesus begin with people—not a presentation.

Their Story
Begin by listening. Get to know the person in front
of you, their experiences, their questions, and
where they are in life.
02
Your Story
Share authentically what Jesus has done in your own
life. Your personal story is something no one can
argue away.
03
His Story
Learn simple, understandable ways to explain the
good news of Jesus and invite someone to respond.
Practical. Personal. Doable.
Talk about Jesus with greater confidence.
Start Naturally

to meaningful spiritual discussions.

in your life simply and authentically.

in having genuine, caring conversations.
You Can Do This
You don’t have to freak out to talk about Jesus.
Some of the most powerful faith conversations begin
simply—with a question, a story, or a moment when
someone realizes you genuinely care.
This book helps take the pressure off and equips you
to recognize those moments and respond with courage,
compassion, and confidence.
