Sharing my faith with friendship, patience & coffee

Mocha. Black coffee. Milky coffee. Latte. Latte with oat milk. While my coffee preferences have changed over the years, one thing that has not changed is my love for coffee! And while my love for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ has not changed either, I have definitely changed in how I share my faith.

As an extrovert, I love to meet new people. Not to build on the stereotype, but I am also an American living in the UK. I love getting to know people and building friendships, and in God’s kindness sometimes these overlap with my love for coffee.

Listening before speaking

A few years ago, I met a young woman working at a local coffee shop who was friendly, intelligent, and open to conversation. Our friendship continued online where we were able to comment on each other’s posts about books we’ve read, etc.
