Details for Leaders
Gospel Confidence is the complete virtual Step Up to Life training experience. Each session features a 15–30 minute teaching video that walks through the Step Up to Life framework in depth, paired with a downloadable PDF study guide that includes a session summary and guided discussion questions for breakout groups. This series is ideal for large group training settings where you want to learn together, then divide into smaller groups for application and conversation time.
We recommend planning for 60-90 minutes per session — time to watch the video together and then move through the discussion guide in breakout groups.
Gospel Confidence is ideal for:
Team training — equip ministry staff and volunteers with a shared framework.
Leadership development — give your leaders the depth of understanding to disciple others.
Group study — run as a church-wide evangelism training initiative.
Whether you're introducing your team to Step Up to Life for the first time or going back to the source material with fresh eyes, Gospel Confidence is the training resource you need to help your people feel confident talking about their faith.

Our Mission
We believe evangelism should never be about pressure, scripts, or clever lines, but about guiding people, listening to their heart posture, and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead them step-by-step.
Step Up to Life exists to empower followers of Jesus to share the Gospel in a way that’s simple, relational, and effective. We understand that many Christians want to help others encounter Jesus, but fear uncertainty or confrontation in the process. That’s why we develop practical resources that guide conversations along the pathway from spiritual indifference to saving faith.
Our vision is for individuals and ministries on every continent to be equipped with the five-step Gospel framework and confident in conversations about spiritual position and relationship with Jesus Christ.
