Introduction and Learn a Story

Welcome to the first episode in the Moment For Eternity series. In this episode we introduce Simply The Story and provide a Bible story that will be used throughout the series.
We encourage you to learn the Bible story by stopping the video at the end of the story and repeating out loud what you remember. Replay the story again, and repeat out loud again what you remember. Repeat this process several times until you are able to recall the story and its details accurately.

We expect you will have the Bible passage learned accurately within 10 to 15 minutes. Try it!

Changing Intentions

Our perspective on evangelism can sometimes hinder us from engaging people over the Word of God. Often, we need to challenge ourselves regarding our intentions. In this episode, we share other goals and expectations you can have when discussing Christ with others to help encourage you to get out and take a moment for eternity.

Starting a Conversation

It can be intimidating to start a conversation with complete strangers. And yet, strangers are often blessed when others acknowledge them. In this episode we offer conversation starters, working through some of the discomforts, and the Biblical basis for reaching out to others.

BONUS VIDEO: While producing this series, we also filmed examples “on the streets.” In our bonus feature, we show how we start a conversation with 2 strangers at Starbucks.

Example at Starbucks: Starting a Conversation & Integrating Bible

BONUS VIDEO: The first step in helping people connect with the Lord is by giving them His Word. Starting a conversation and integrating Bible stories does not have to be intimidating. Many people want to know who God is.

Preparing Stories

In this episode we will talk about “How do you prepare Bible stories for the streets?” It can be overwhelming to think we need to learn lots of Bible stories for lots of different situations. How many stories should you learn? Where can you practice a story before going ‘to the streets’? These questions will be answered in this episode, and we will show you how to have a short conversation about a Bible story.

To hear the storm story read Mark 4:35-41 or watch the Introduction to this series.

Integrating Bible Stories

One of the hardest steps in a conversation is integrating a Bible story in the natural flow of discussion. In today’s episode we’ll talk about various openings that allow people to naturally weave a Bible story into the fabric of a dialogue. It may feel awkward at first, but with time, practice and amazing results, this step becomes normal.
