Embrace
showing and sharing the love of jesus
Do you feel uneasy or inexperienced when it comes to sharing your faith? Embrace is a faith-sharing resource that helps you share your faith with boldness, confidence, and grace!

- Humility
- Clarity
- Prayer
- Integrity
- Worship
- Urgency
Available Formats
Embrace is available in several formats to help share your faith with those you love:
Embrace Study Book
Looking for a small group study on faith-sharing? Embrace is designed for use by individuals and small groups. It is divided into six sessions: an introductory session followed by five sessions focusing on the essential values of faith-sharing. Each session includes guidelines and activities for weekly gatherings in addition to participants’ reading and activities. The Embrace study book is $15.00 plus shipping and can be ordered online here.
Embrace Workshop
Is faith-sharing just the pastor’s role? Absolutely not! Equip your congregation to be disciples that make disciples through an Embrace Workshop. Using the metaphor of embrace, Christ-followers are offered a new way of sharing their faith that restores confidence, competence, and responsiveness to the power of the Holy Spirit. Whether in-person or online, this study is a blend of lecture, storytelling, small group discussion, and individual reflection.
