One of the greatest ways to grow in sharing the Gospel is to remember this simple acronym: PLANS 🙌🏾 P – Powerful QuestionsJesus often asked questions that opened hearts and caused people to think deeper. Questions create conversation, not confrontation. L – ListeningPeople don’t just want to be preached at… they want to be heard. Listening builds trust and reveals real needs. A – AccountabilityAs believers, we help one another grow. Sharing the Gospel also means walking with people beyond the moment. N – No OpinionNot every conversation needs our personal opinion. Sometimes the assignment is simply to point people back to God’s truth and love. S – SilenceDon’t rush every moment. Silence allows people time to reflect, process, and hear what God may already be speaking to their hearts. The Gospel spreads best through authentic relationships, intentional conversations, and Spirit-led wisdom. ✨ Sometimes the most powerful witness is not talking more… it’s listening better.
