Using Your Shirt as a Conversation Starter

This is not about having the right script. 

It is about being ready and willing in normal, everyday moments. God is already at work in people’s lives. You are simply stepping into that.

What this shirt opens up

I Have Decided usually leads to a simple question: “Decided what?” That gives you a natural way to talk about following Jesus and what that has meant in your life.

How you could respond

Keep it simple and real:

• “I have decided to follow Jesus. That became real for me when…”

• “It does not mean I have everything figured out. I am learning to trust him with my life.”

• “It has changed how I think about my purpose and what really matters.”

A simple way to say it

You don’t need a formula, but if you’re unsure what to say, try something like this:

1. What you decided / believe… “I have decided to follow Jesus…”

2. When it became real… “That became real for me when…”

3. What it means now… “It does not mean I have everything figured out, but…”

4. What has changed… “It has changed how I…”

Something like this could be your response…

I have decided to follow Jesus. That became real for me when I realized I could not fix things in my life on my own and needed him. It does not mean I have everything figured out, but I am learning to trust him with my life. It has changed how I think about my purpose and what really matters.

Questions that help open things up

You do not have to force anything. Just stay curious.

• “Do you have any kind of spiritual background?”

• “Have you ever thought about what you believe about God?”

• “What has your experience with church been like?”

Keep the gospel clear

You do not have to say everything, but keep the center clear:

1. God created us for a relationship with him

2. Sin ruptured that relationship with him

3. Jesus lived, died, and rose to restore what was ruptured and bring us back to God

4. We respond by turning to him and trusting him

5. The relationship is repaired and life to the full begins

Remember:
“While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

If you feel nervous

That’s totally normal! You’re not responsible for how someone responds, but you are called to be faithful. Remember that the Holy Spirit is already at work; so, you can keep it simple and honest:

• Share your story

• Connect it to what Jesus has done

• Ask a simple question

If the conversation keeps going

You can:

1. Keep talking and listening

2. Invite them to church

3. Offer to read the Bible together

4. Pray with them if it makes sense

If it does not

That is okay too. You can still…

• Be kind

• Do not force it

• Trust that God can use even a short moment to plant seeds

Final reminder

This is not about saying everything perfectly; it is about being available, being honest, and pointing to Jesus.

And remember to pray…

Pray before, maybe even during, and after a conversation for the person

What this shirt opens up

Jesus at the Center usually leads to a simple question: “What does that mean?” That gives you a natural way to talk about what it looks like to build your life around Jesus.

How you could respond

Keep it simple and real:

• “It means Jesus is not just part of my life, he shapes everything.”


• “I am learning to put him at the center of my decisions and priorities.”


• “It has changed how I think about my purpose and what really matters.”

A simple way to say it

You don’t need a formula, but if you’re unsure what to say, try something like this:

1. What it means… “For me, having Jesus at the center means…”

2. What it not… “It does not mean I do this perfectly, but…”

3. Why it matters… “Because Jesus…”

4. What has changed… “It has changed how I…”

Something like this could be your response…

For me, having Jesus at the center means he is not just part of my life, he shapes everything. It does not mean I do this perfectly, but I am learning to trust him more each day. Because of what he has done for me, I want my life to reflect him. It has changed how I think about my priorities and what really matters.

What this shirt opens up

This Is My Story usually leads to a simple question: “What’s your story?” That gives you a natural way to share how God has worked in your life.

How you could respond

Keep it simple and real:

• “My story is really about how God met me when…”


• “Before that, things looked like…”


• “Since then, I have been learning to trust him with my life.”

A simple way to say it

You don’t need a formula, but if you’re unsure what to say, try something like this:

1. What your story was… “Before Jesus, things were like…”

2. What changed… “Then something changed when…”

3. What Jesus did… “I started to realize that Jesus…”

4. What is different now… “Now I am learning to…”

Something like this could be your response…

Before Jesus, I was mostly just trying to figure things out on my own and felt pretty directionless. Then something started to change when I began to really hear and understand the message of Jesus. I realized he was not just a part of life, he came to save me. Now I am learning to trust him and follow him in a real way.

What this shirt opens up

Soli Deo Gloria usually leads to a simple question: “What does that mean?” That gives you a natural way to talk about what it means to give glory to God alone.

How you could respond

Keep it simple and real:

• “It means my life is not ultimately about me, it is about God.”


• “Everything I have and everything I am comes from him.”


• “Because of Jesus, I have hope, and I want my life to point back to him.”

A simple way to say it

You don’t need a formula, but if you’re unsure what to say, try something like this:

4. What that changes… “So now I want my life to…”

Something like this could be your response…

It means glory to God alone. Because everything I have comes from him, I do not see my life as being about me anymore. Through Jesus, I have been forgiven and given new life. So now I want my life to point back to him in how I live.

What this shirt opens up

Women of the Bible usually leads to a simple question: “What women?” or “Who are these women?” That gives you a natural way to talk about real women in the Bible who trusted God.

• “Their stories remind me that God works through ordinary people.”

Something like this could be your response…

These are women in the Bible who trusted God in really difficult situations. One story that stands out to me is Esther, who risked her life to do what was right.
