           Faith Conversations
Faith Conversations
Talking about faith on the
       road of life
               Tiger McLuen
        President - Youth Leadership
BIG IDEAS:
• Sharing your story is a key part of
being a “God person” for teenagers
• Most of us are scared about sharing
our faith, but it can become more
comfortable
• We need to use words to express our
faith
• Vague ideas won’t really help us talk
about faith
REFLECTION:
1. Name a time when you felt
   comfortable sharing your
   faith? What was that like?

2. Describe a time when you
   tried to share something
   about your faith—but it just
   didn’t work. What
   happened?
Common Excuses of
   Church People
• I’m not good enough
• I don’t know enough about God
• What if they don’t listen to me or
believe me?
• I don’t have enough talent
• O.K. Lord, send someone else
“Communicate the Gospel at all
times. If necessary, use words.”
                    - St. Francis of Assisi
Walking on the Road
           Luke 24:13-35
1. He walked alongside
2. He asked questions
3. He listened to their response
4. He taught them
• Remember the elements to your
         faith story


• Remember: Vagueness is killing
         the church!
Webinar Practice:
1. Why do you go to church?
2. So, if you go to church—then you believe in
   God, right?
3. So, you go to First Lutheran. That is a
   Christian church, right? So, how does Jesus
   fit in the picture? What do you believe about
   Jesus?
TURN THE CORNER…
                                     How does that line up with
 What would it look like to trust
                                     what you have learned at
    God in that situation?
                                             church?




  If a person were serious about
                                       Has your faith helped you
following Jesus, what do you think
                                        at all in that situation?
        they would do there?
Thoughts…Questions…
