Have you ever wondered how honor-shame might influence a gospel presentation?
This video gives just a small glimpse into how such a conversation might flow. It is guided by two questions related to “face.”
- Who are your relationships? (i.e. ascribed honor and shame)
- What have you done? (i.e. achieved honor and shame)
These are the two ways that a person can either get face or lose face.
The video is intended to be a training video used to help people understand in part how “face” might influence our gospel conversations. Below is the Chinese version of this video.

It is NOT meant to be a gospel presentation. Of course, it does contain a number of ideas that could shape the way someone presents the gospel.
In a few weeks, I will release another video that uses honor-shame to tell the grand biblical story. Because that video will be more biblical/theological in nature, one could more easily see it as an introduction to the gospel. (UPDATE: Click here for the second video)
I would love to hear your feedback. Let me a comment and let me know you suggestions, questions, or any other thoughts.
Here is the Chinese language version: 你要脸吗? It has been adapted in places to better suit a Chinese context.
