1. How can you share what you have learned with people you know?
Jesus’ disciples said: “We cannot stop speaking about the things we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:20) They valued the truth so much that they wanted to share it with as many people as possible. Do you feel the same way? If so, look for opportunities when you can respectfully tell your family and friends what you have learned.—Read Colossians 4:6.
Some ways to get started
When talking with family, introduce a Bible topic by saying: “I learned something interesting this week.”
Share an encouraging scripture with a friend who is sick or anxious.
Tell workmates who ask about your week what you learned at your Bible study or at a congregation meeting.
Show your friends the jw.org website.
Invite others to sit in on your Bible study, or show them how to request one on jw.org.

4. Be respectful
When sharing the good news, consider not only what to say but also how to say it. Read 2 Timothy 2:24 and 1 Peter 3:15, and then discuss these questions:
How could you apply these verses when talking to others about the Bible?
Some family members or friends may not agree with you. What could you do? What should you not do?
Why might it be better to use tactful questions rather than forceful statements?
