We all know the importance of sharing our faith with others. However, it can be hard to find the right words and natural opportunities to do so. When you're in a professional setting, it can feel even more challenging. But don't worry; there are still plenty of ways to share your Christian testimony at work. To get started, read through these tips I've kept in mind over the years on how to naturally bring up your Christianity in a work environment.

Be Confident & Positive

When talking about your faith with co-workers, you want to come off as confident and positive. Don't be afraid to talk about your beliefs openly and without apology; that will make it easier for people to approach you without feeling like they're stepping onto shaky ground. Remember, people will draw their own conclusions about your faith based on how you present yourself and interact with them—so make sure you always put forth an air of confidence and positivity when talking about Jesus at work.

Incorporate Your Beliefs into Your Job

One great way to share your Christian testimony is by incorporating it into your job duties. People are watching how you conduct yourself and you don't want them to be surprised when you do tell them you're a follower of Jesus. If you're in a leadership role, make sure that any decisions or policies you implement reflect the ethics and values of of your faith. Doing this shows that you take your faith seriously and can be a great opportunity for others around you to see what being a Christian looks like in action.

Be Open & Engage Others

Finally, one of the best things you can do is simply be open and engaging when talking about your faith with co-workers. Ask questions instead of giving orders; engage with people's ideas rather than shutting them down; show interest in learning more instead of dictating what's right or wrong. By taking time to listen as well as speak, it's much easier for others around you to understand where you are coming from and feel comfortable discussing their own beliefs (or lack thereof).

Sharing your Christian testimony at work doesn’t have to be awkward or forced – if done correctly, it can actually create meaningful connections between yourself and those around you who may not necessarily share the same beliefs as yourself. So next time someone asks about your faith at work, don’t panic – just remember these tips on how to naturally bring up the topic and before long, conversations about Christianity may start happening organically. With practice comes progress – so keep sharing what inspires and motivates you most.
