Even if they want to, many Christians find it hard to talk to others about Jesus. Is it possible this difficulty is because we’re trying to speak a language we haven’t actually spent time practicing?

Becoming fluent in the gospel happens the same way—after believing it, we have to intentionally rehearse it and immerse ourselves in its truths. Only then will we start to see how everything in our lives, from the mundane to the magnificent, is transformed by the hope of the gospel.

There is a Gospel story with five chapters. It gives meaning and purpose to what we do here and now in the already-and-not-yet. Read about the different narratives that biblical scholars present and see the plan of God for you as recipient and agent of His grace each day.
