The Heaven Statement Workshop

One Simple Statement That Changes Everything

The Evangelism Crisis in American Churches

Research from Barna Group reveals a troubling reality: while 96% of Christians believe sharing faith is part of following Jesus, nearly half (47%) think it's wrong to share personal beliefs with someone of a different faith. Churches across America are filled with believers who desperately want to share their faith but don't know how to do it naturally.

The Heaven Statement Workshop addresses this crisis with a practical, grace-centered method that makes evangelism feel as natural as talking about your family.

What Is The Heaven Statement?

The Heaven Statement is a simple 24-word approach that creates genuine curiosity about salvation instead of defensiveness:

"There are so many people who think they are going to heaven, but they don't really understand what it takes to get to heaven."

This statement consistently leads to the question every Christian hopes to hear: "So what does it take to get to heaven?"

Why This Method Works

Creates Curiosity, Not Defensiveness

  • You're talking about "other people," not them directly

  • No pressure or assumptions about their spiritual condition

  • Frames salvation as something to discover, not a confrontation

Honors Different Personalities

  • Works for introverts and extroverts

  • Adapts to relationship-builders and conversation-starters

  • Fits naturally into any communication style

Biblically Based

  • Follows Jesus' pattern of creating curiosity (living water, bread of life)

  • Aligns with Paul's approach in Acts (unknown god)

  • Based on the principle that curiosity opens hearts more than arguments

The Research Behind the Method

  • Curiosity-based approaches are more effective than confrontational methods

  • Personal authenticity matters more than perfect technique

What Churches Are Saying

From Revival Leadership: "We hosted a revival at Falls County Texas, May 30 - June 1 of 2025. Grant Reed was instrumental in the success of the event. I truly believe God sent Grant. His powerful sermons touched many believers and non-believers. God's gift to me was having Grant baptize my youngest daughter (Marlowe) at this revival. WOW! Grant is a true child of God and has a personal intimate relationship with Jesus. His love and knowledge of the word, is second to none. He is a true disciple of Jesus... I can't wait to work with him again in the near future. He is a true inspiration."

— Scott Overocker, Falls County Revival

From Church Members: "I was baptized by Grant and had the privilege of hearing him preach with deep conviction and passion. His heart for the Gospel is evident in his speech. The sermon he gave was rooted in scripture and driven by a genuine desire to see lives transformed by Christ." — Marlowe Overocker
