Christian Hats for Starting Conversations

This list was inspired by two verses in particular, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation" - Mark 16:15, and Hebrews 10:24 "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds". We as believers are called to both preach the gospel to all and to encourage other believers. From my own experience wearing our top pick (aka I'm a bit biased), 'Heaven is Crowded', it has been such an encouragement to have other believers point it out and see it spark conversations about what matters!

The Best Christian Hats to Start Conversations

MAKE HEAVEN CROWDED

My personal favorite, this hat is a hard one to disagree with. To the point, but still inclusive. In the U.S. I feel Christians are often scared to share their faith because of fear of judgement for being overbearing. But we have to remember the goal! To make heaven crowded!

FREE PRAYER

For those well acquanted with prayer-walking, this hat is for you! A bit more on the bold side, don't be suprised if you have some strangers taking you up on this request. Good news is we all need prayer, and Jesus is the answer!

LOVE GIVES

"Love Gives" is more than two words—it's the heartbeat of our faith. For God so loved, He gave (John 3:16). Every hat fuels a mission, with proceeds helping end child illiteracy and teaching kids kindness through children's books.

JESUS SAVES I SPEND

Two truths delivered in a way that sticks. We don't have too many recorded jokes in the bible from Jesus, but I'd wager he had a good sense of humor.

JESUS IS MY SPOTTER

For the gym bro who wants to share Jesus, this hat is for you. While silly, there is a very real truth to it, "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." - Psalm 18. A spotter helps when we are at the end of our strength, as does Jesus!

GIVE ME AN AMEN

Candidly, I haven't seen someone wearing this one yet. But for the bold out there, this is a fun hat to encourage others. I've been on the fence about getting it myself, love the message and outward focus!

Why hats?

In our busy world and busy lives it is more important than ever to make every effort to share the gospel with our peers, and to encourage one another to do the same. We are surrounded on all sides and bombarded relentlessly by distractions. While only a few words, each of these hats has the potential to speak life into others, every day.

The beauty is, you don't even need to say anything. I oft catch someone smiling as they walk by and look up at my hat. I've also had a number of really cool conversations, but most often they are really quick "I love your hat".
