Use Your Life to Make a Difference If you're like most people, there's something about sharing your faith that makes you clam up. When you think about talking to the unbelievers in your life about God, you worry that you may say the wrong thing or that they may think negatively of you. But those thoughts are whispers and lies from an enemy hoping to keep you trapped in a life of little impact. God has uniquely positioned you to influence those around you for him. He wants to partner with you in changing people's lives both now and for eternity. This practical guide will show you how you can begin using your everyday life to make a difference in the lives of those who don't know Jesus. Are you ready to be a Difference Maker?
