How to Use the BLESS Method to Easily and Authentically Share Your Faith

-


Sharing your faith doesn't have to feel forced or intimidating. In fact, it can be as simple as building genuine relationships and showing God's love in everyday moments. One practical way to do this is by using the BLESS method—a simple, relational approach to evangelism that fits naturally into daily life.

So, what is BLESS?

BLESS is an acronym that outlines five intentional practices that help you share your faith in a way that feels authentic and compassionate—not pushy or performative.

B – Begin with Prayer/ Bless with Prayer

Before you do anything, start with prayer. Ask God to guide your interactions and open your heart to the people around you. Pray for opportunities, for the courage to show love, and for the Holy Spirit to work through you. You may also use prayer as a way to intercede on behalf of another, opening up an opportunity to bless someone based on something they have shared that needs prayer.

“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” – Colossians 4:2

 

L – Listen to a Friend

One of the most loving things you can do is to truly listen. Ask questions and let others share their stories, their struggles, and their beliefs. Listening shows you care—not just about sharing your views, but about understanding theirs.

“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” – James 1:19

E – Eat with a Friend

Something powerful happens when we share a meal. It creates a space for conversation and connection. You don't need a fancy dinner party—even coffee or lunch can be a chance to build trust and community.

Jesus was often found sharing meals with people from all walks of life. It was one of His primary ways of connecting.

S – Serve a Friend

Look for ways to serve the people around you in tangible, thoughtful ways. Acts of kindness—big or small—speak volumes. Whether it's helping a neighbor, encouraging a friend, or volunteering your time, serving builds bridges.

“Serve one another humbly in love.” – Galatians 5:13

S – Share Your Story & God's Story

When the time feels right, share how your faith has made a difference in your life. You don’t need to have all the answers—just be real. Talk about your struggles, your transformation, and your hope in Christ.

“Always be prepared to give an answer… for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” – 1 Peter 3:15

Why the BLESS Method Works

The BLESS method shifts the focus from preaching to presence. It's about being available, being kind, and building trust—letting people see Jesus through your life before they hear about Him from your lips.

It’s not a checklist—it’s a way of life. And the beauty is that anyone can do it.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to share your faith, try starting with BLESS. Begin with prayer, be a good listener, build community around meals, serve with love, and when the time comes, share your story. It’s not about perfection—it’s about connection.

I hope this helps you share your faith today!

This morning (HST), I received the heartbreaking news that Charlie Kirk had been shot. Tragically, I was sent footage of the shooting. I do not recommend looking it up—I was not prepared for what I saw, and the video was deeply disturbing. Immediately, I began to pray with my children. I was glued to my phone, waiting for updated information, until I saw the devastating news that Charlie Kirk had died. Filled with grief and a flood of thoughts, I want to share a few things with you.

From Selfish to Selfless: A Journey into Motherhood with God’s Grace

-

Becoming a mother is one of the most sacred transformations a woman can experience. From the very beginning, when that tiny heartbeat becomes part of your own, something shifts deep within. Suddenly, life is no longer just about you—your plans, your preferences, your comfort. It becomes about someone else entirely. Someone God has entrusted to your care. I won’t pretend the change is always easy. There are sleepless nights, tired mornings, and days when you feel like you’ve lost parts of yourself. But here’s the beautiful truth: in that losing, you begin to find something even greater. You find purpose. You find grace. You find strength you didn’t know you had. Motherhood has a way of tenderly stretching your heart, teaching you to serve without expecting anything in return. It transforms selfishness into selflessness—not through guilt or duty, but through love. A love that mirrors Christ’s love for us: patient, forgiving, unwavering. If you’re not a mother yet, know this—your life i...

The Grace to Grow: Encouragement for New Moms

When I became a mother for the first time, I named my daughter Grace —not fully realizing how fitting that name would become for the journey ahead. Grace was such a gift. She made me a mom, changed my heart, and filled our home with joy. But what I didn’t expect was how much grace I would need to give myself in the process of becoming the mother God was shaping me to be. As a mom of four now, I look back and see how much pressure I put on myself—especially in those early days. We live in a world flooded with information: expert advice, parenting books, influencers, reels, podcasts. And while many of these voices are helpful, they often contradict each other, leaving us wondering: Who do I trust? Am I doing this right? Here’s what I’ve learned: start with prayer. Before diving into another blog post or video, talk to the One who created you—and your child. God is not only the author of life, but the sustainer of your motherhood. He’s ready to give wisdom when you ask. Talk with your...
