Have you ever sat down to your desk, pulled up the screen to write a blog post, and wondered “How can I share my faith through my blog?” Many of us have a sincere desire to write about the love our Father has for us and to inspire others towards seeking Him. How can we effectively do that?
Here are a few ways that may help you share your faith.
- Your Testimony – This is sure to kickoff lots of emotion. Your retelling of your personal testimony will produce a passionate post that will touch the hearts of your readers. Real stories always make for the best blog posts and how much better when those stories are all about how God came into your life.
- Changes God has made in you – Similar to sharing your testimony, giving your readers a look at how you have changed in your Christian walk will show them that you are more than a person behind a computer screen. I have often been able to relate to other blog owners when they open up and are transparent. People like to know that others have the same struggles. They desire to see that they can be changed as well.
- Devotion ideas – Have any ideas on how to use wisely that quiet time with God? Do you have that personal time at night, in the morning, or while the children are napping? What changes have you made to your time of Bible study and prayer that have allowed for more consistency? We all can learn from our Christian brothers and sisters and for those who have a hard time making devotional time a priority, this may give them the extra boost they need!
- Favorite Bible verses – What is your favorite Bible verse? Which particular Scripture has given you comfort when you need it? Perhaps a verse that you and your family are memorizing at the moment would be timely for someone else.
- Where you are stumbling? – Are you struggling and falling in any area? Share it! One of my most popular posts was about where I fall short as a mother. My readers could relate in my shortcomings and I got lots of comments about the fact that they had the same problems. At the same time, my visitors shared ways in which to overcome particular things and I was able to use those ideas. Being transparent, when used wisely, is uncomfortable but may yield eternal benefits.
How have you shared your faith on your blog?

Great post, Kelly! I’ve don’t pretty much all of the above, including parts of my testimony and my whole testimony, apologetics (what really nails it for me as far as “proof” that supports what I believe), devotional thoughts, recounting talking about my faith with my kids and others, and areas that have been hard for me. Some recent posts on this topic include:

Most of the women [and a few men] that are blogging partners with me already do all of these things. We are committed to posting the TRUTH of God’s Word and making it practical in the situations of life that many of us face, like death or a spouse [in my case], death of a child, divorce, sickness, sin, rebellion, rejection, restoration, healing, and questions about faith, just to name a few. I hope this site will bond us together so that Jesus Christ can be magnified even more as we unite [together] as the body of Christ to walk the path of righteousness that He has laid down for us to trod!
Blessings to your efforts,

I think I have, at different times, done all of those. I really try to be sensitive to when the Lord wants me to get serious and write something that someone might need to here.
I’m loving this new site. Keep up the good work.
Blessings,
Kim
I have been doing some devotional posts on my blog and I also share/review about Christian books. I hope to share more about my faith with others in my other blog – stayathomeblessings.com by joining the Faithful Blogging Prompts. Actually that is the major reason why I’m joining, as a springboard for sharing about my faith in Christ. Also, the ideas above are wonderful. I hope to write blog posts about these as well. Thanks, Kelly.
