Read Matthew 28:16-20, Acts 1:8

Jesus does not call His followers to be experts, debaters, or performers. He calls them witnesses. A witness does not manufacture evidence; they share what they have seen and experienced. Mission flows from testimony, not perfection.

Jesus promises power before responsibility. The Holy Spirit empowers His followers to speak, live, and love in ways they could not on their own. This removes pressure. You are not responsible for outcomes—only for faithfulness.

Witnessing often feels intimidating because we assume it requires polished words or persuasive arguments. But Jesus reframes it. Your story matters. How Jesus has met you, forgiven you, sustained you, and shaped you is powerful testimony.

In daily life, witnessing looks natural and relational. It happens through conversations, shared experiences, and quiet faithfulness. It grows from authenticity, not performance.

The Spirit works through ordinary people who are willing to point to Jesus in simple ways. You are invited to trust that God uses faithfulness more than fluency.
