You do not have to be fully prepared to shed light

You keep silent about faith because you imagine an unexpected exam. You fear not knowing a fact, explaining poorly, or being exposed as someone who still struggles. Shedding light is not about presenting yourself as a total expert. You can share a true experience, listen to the question, and admit: "I don't know; I'll look into it." Humility increases credibility when accompanied by real interest. Forming yourself remains necessary, especially to avoid improvising on delicate topics. But preparation also grows inside concrete encounters. A person perhaps does not need a lecture today, but discovering they can speak with you without being judged. Your light can be small and enough for the next step, while you continue learning.
