Description

“Always be ready to give a reason for your hope.” 1 Peter 3:15.   If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard someone remind me of this passage, I’d be well really rich, but if I had to pay back every dollar for every time someone explained to me an ‘easy way to always be ready’, well I’d still be rich. :) 

This is one of those verses that Catholic speakers, priests, Catechists like to throw around WITHOUT also equipping us to make it a reality in our lives.  

Well today is that day, my friends!  I want to give you a simple, memorable way to share with others the reason for the hope you have in Christ.  Certainly there are theological and catechetical reasons for that hope, right?, but that often opens things up for debate or disagreement. Which is fine and there’s a time and a place for that  But one thing no one can debate, assuming you are being honest, is the simple story of God’s work in your life boiled down into ONE SENTENCE.  

That’s the goal and in this episode I want to propose an exercise that will help you and others develop ONE-SENTENCE TESTIMONIES.
