You love Jesus. You’d love for your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to know him. And somehow, when the moment comes, it passes.
Maybe you’ve thought:
- I don’t know how to bring up Jesus without it getting weird.
- I don’t want to offend anyone or ruin the relationship.
- What if they ask something I can’t answer?
Jesus in Everyday Life is four one-hour workshops for small groups, ministry teams, and churches who want to talk about Jesus the way Jesus did: in ordinary conversations, with ordinary words. You’ll learn simple ways to move from small talk to Jesus and workshop your real everyday conversations. I’m Paul Sewell, and I come to your group and lead it, free.
What changes
By the end of the four workshops, you’ll:
- Move from small talk to a conversation about Jesus without forcing it
- Know what Jesus says about himself and say it in your own words
- Tell your own Jesus story in three minutes or less
- Help a friend discover Jesus for themselves by reading the Gospels together, without needing every answer
What we’ll cover
1. Casual to Meaningful to Jesus
From Forced to Flowing
- Learn the simple flow from everyday small talk to a conversation about Jesus
- Ask questions that go deeper: be interested, not interesting
- Know what to say and what to leave out when someone leans in
2. The “I Am” Statements of Jesus
From Christianity to Jesus
- Discover who Jesus is and what he offers straight from his own words
- Put the good news in one sentence of your own
- See how Jesus meets the longings people bring into everyday conversations
3. The Storytelling Workshop
From Testimony to Story
- Find the moments Jesus showed up in your life
- Write a three-minute story with Jesus as the hero
- Be ready with a story when the moment comes
4. Discovering Jesus
From Explaining to Inviting
- Learn a simple way to read a story about Jesus with a friend who doesn’t know him yet
- Lead a discussion where the text and the Spirit do the teaching, not you
- Know how to invite someone to read with you
Who it’s for
Jesus in Everyday Life is for people who love Jesus and want to talk about him, but freeze when the moment comes.
You don’t need to be an extrovert, have a ton of Bible knowledge, or know all the answers. You need a few people you care about and a heart to try.
If that sounds like you, or like the people in your group or church, this is for you.
How it works
Four one-hour workshops that fit right into your group’s regular meeting time and place.
This isn’t a lecture. It’s a workshop: about a third teaching, a third in small groups, and a third together as a whole group. Most of the hour, your people are talking and trying things out on their real conversations, not listening to me.
Each workshop ends with one simple practice for the week, so people try it on the real people in their lives right away.
Start with just the first workshop, or book all four.

To book, text 770-584-7487 or email psewell2@gmail.com with:
- Your name and group type
- Your typical day and time
- Your preferred timing (month or quarter)
- Your location in Northwest Arkansas
I’ll reply to work out the details.
A single workshop is easy to fit in, so dates often open up quickly. A full series takes more of my calendar, and sometimes there’s a waitlist of several months. Reach out now and I’ll tell you where things stand. Getting in line costs you nothing.
What it costs
Free. No offering needed.

About Paul
I was an Executive Pastor at a large church when I realized I didn’t know how to share the gospel with my next door neighbor. And if I didn’t know how as a pastor, what did that mean for the 2,000 people in our worship center?
So I stepped down and went looking for answers. I started with the simplest question: how did Jesus talk about himself, and how did he talk with people? My search took me around the world and into community with deeply fruitful followers of Jesus who were seeing movements of people turn to him.
I turned what I learned into a long training curriculum for people moving to unreached nations, then distilled it into these four workshops for everyday believers. But I don’t have it all figured out. I’m an apprentice of Jesus, and apprentices keep learning.
I started my career as an engineer doing supply chain consulting, then moved into ministry. I co-founded Launch Global, a missions training organization that has sent 500+ global workers, and started Seven Wells in 2016. I studied Industrial Engineering at Georgia Tech and received my theological training at Luther Rice.
I’ve taught thousands of people over the last 20 years and led more than 60 groups through these workshops. The engineer in me loves a system that works, and these workshops are built that way: simple steps you can practice this week.
Elisha and I live in Bentonville, Arkansas, with our three kids, who constantly remind us of joy. When I’m not working, you’ll find me ripping trails on my mountain bike or sipping specialty coffee next to a pile of books.
