Are you a man of faith who wants to help his buddies investigate Jesus and Christianty, but lacks the confidence and tools to do so?
A new event from Tyler Ellis is designed to help you build that confidence while providing tools and resources to help you regularly share your faith and make disciples.
How Do you feel about sharing your faith?
God calls all of his followers to make disciples, but most Christians don’t regularly share their faith. Do any of these feelings come to mind when you think about sharing your faith?
- π¨π‘π¦π¨π₯π if trying to βconvertβ someone to the Christian faith is even the right thing to do
- ππ’π‘ππ¨π¦ππ about how Christianity is any different from other religions
- π¨π‘πͺπ’π₯π§ππ¬ to share your faith because of your personal struggles and inconsistencies
- ππ¬π£π’ππ₯ππ§ππππ because you still have questions and doubts of your own
- ππ‘ππππ€π¨ππ§π to share your faith because youβve never been to seminary, and evangelism is not your spiritual gift
- ππ₯π¨π¦π§π₯ππ§ππ because deep down you believe you have a purpose thatβs meant to impact eternity, but you donβt have a clue where to start
- πππ¦ππ§ππ‘π§ to initiate spiritual conversations because you donβt think your friends would take you seriously
- ππ¨πππ§π¬ for keeping the message of Jesus to yourself
- π‘ππ₯π©π’π¨π¦ about looking stupid when someone asks you a question you canβt answer
- πππ₯πππ to be associated with embarrassing Christians who make you cringe
- πͺπ’π₯π₯πππ that if you do share your faith, you might lose a friend as a result
- π’π©ππ₯πͺππππ ππ at the thought that the Creator of the world actually knows you personally, loves you personally, and is shoulder-tapping you personally to make disciple of all nations
If any of those feelings describe you, this training event is designed to help you gain the tools, strategies, and confidence to share your faith and make disciples.

About Tyler Ellis
After several mission trips and nearly 15 years as a college minister, Tyler launched a ministry called Let’s Talk Story, through which he trains Christians to develop cross-cultural friendships by means of conversational English using the Bible.
Tyler developed this training event based on his experience and research from 20 years of full-time ministry. One of many tools he will share during the training is the interview technique he used in college ministry that resulted in 25% of the people eventually coming to Christ. Tyler previously spoke about that ministry technique in his TEDx talk and in a series of articles for Indigitous.
