The most unimaginable thing happened. My mom died 3 weeks after the surgery. Now this was probably the hardest thing any 21 year-old could go through.

About a year ago I surrendered my life to Christ. I prayed the prayer of salvation and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. In that moment, I made the decision to stop living for myself and start living for Him.

I remember being in the lowest state that I had ever been. I was on my bedroom floor, and I was calling out to the Lord, ready to take my life, calling out to the Lord, “God, if you are there, I need you to prove it to me. I need you to show me.”

Sharing Why I Love Jesus Study Guide
Have you ever wondered about your faith story? Do you even have a faith story? Where did it come from? How does it work? How do you grow your faith? Should you share your faith? How do you share your faith?
Perhaps you’re like me – an “ordinary Christian.” You look forward to Sunday worship, greet people at the door, and look forward to the next Bible study. But if you’re like most ordinary Christians, the thought of sharing your faith story makes your stomach churn. You’re not alone!
The Sharing Why I Love Jesus study guide is more than a how-to book about writing your faith story.It lays a biblical foundation for faith and prompts you to explore your faith in greater depth. Then you will write your faith story and practice sharing it in today’s world.
Why I Love Jesus: Sharing My Faith Story
How many of your family, friends, or coworkers need some good news today more than ever? Your faith story is the good news of your relationship with Jesus Christ. Share your faith story today with someone you care about.
Join our global community of ordinary Christians of all ages and cultures who glorify God and share our love of Jesus by sharing personal faith stories. We would love to help you share your faith story with others.
Why Your Faith Story Matters
You may think you don’t have a faith story. You may even feel it’s not worth telling. We believe that your faith story matters. Why?
Sharing your faith tells the story of your relationship with Jesus and how God has blessed your life. Sharing your faith blesses others with similar life experiences. Your faith story is welcome here!
Our Mission
Our mission is to help ordinary Christians of all ages and nations comfortably and confidently share their faith stories. We believe that a relationship with Jesus has blessed our lives and that Jesus calls us to reach out to the least, the last, and the lost in the world. We wish to help guide seekers and non-Christians to a relationship with Jesus by sharing the authentic faith stories of ordinary Christians.
In addition to the resources posted on this website, we offer workshops, conferences, and retreats for youth and adults interested in learning how to share their God-gifted faith stories.
Share Your Faith Story
Empower Yourself
Most people have a vague idea of what they believe. Writing or recording your faith story helps bring clarity to your faith journey. Pat didn’t even think she had a faith story until she wrote it down.
Inspire Others
Hearing from someone with a similar story can help others overcome their own obstacles. Through faith, Matthew conquered a life of addiction and is now speaking publicly to others struggling with substance abuse.
Raise Awareness
Telling your faith story can start conversations about how the love of Jesus connects us despite our differences. Namusobya founded an orphanage in Uganda in response to the plight of street children in her town.
Shine a Light
Your faith story shines a comforting light to others who are lonely, depressed, afraid, hungry, poor, homeless, sick, or in prison. Your story, like Becky’s, can light a path for others going through difficult times.
No Story Should Remain Untold
Jesus himself asked us to share the Good News of his love for us. Your faith story, whether simple or profound, is proof of that love. Your story may touch those, like Jane, who are seeking answers about whether Jesus is real.

Tips on Sharing Your Faith
Whether you’re age 16 or 86, you have a unique faith story to share. God created you to shine like a light to the world; to share the love of Jesus with those who are lonely, hungry, sick, in prison, and weighed down by failure. Your story matters.
Tips on Growing Your Faith
Let’s be honest, the pressures of family, friends, work, school, and even church, can be overwhelming and exhausting. There often doesn’t seem to be spare time to spend with the Lord. Good news! Here’s a plan to grow your faith on the run!
Workshops
For the past three years Why I Love Jesus has traveled to Kenya to lead faith sharing workshops for primary and high school students. The two-hour workshops begin with a brief presentation about faith. Then the students are given prompts to guide their writing process. Then, students draw a picture showing how they love Jesus. Finally, students can volunteer to share their faith with the group.
