Part 1, The BIG Idea: Our HUGE world is broken into millions of SMALL communities, and it’s in these communities that relationships and conversations happen. God intentionally places His followers in the same orbit as those He’s drawing so they can work with Him in the redemption process (Acts 17:26-27). But too often we find ourselves separating from non-Christians, and that needs to change. The answer isn’t simply in being a “silent” witness or inviting people to church, b

Part 1, The BIG Idea: It can be overwhelming to think that leading people into a forever relationship with Jesus is all on us. But it's NOT! Being effective as carriers and communicators of the Gospel only works when we allow GOD to do His part, and WE do ours. Getting confused about this ruins everything.

I’ve heard the narrative for years that most who come to faith in Jesus do so by the age of 20. One respected organization reports that unbelieving adults, 19 and over, have just a 6% probability of ever becoming Christians. This has led to a plethora of activity by churches and parachurch organizations to reach those in grade school through college before it’s too late. While this is good, it raises a question: with nearly 90% of all evangelistic training, resources, and eff


Winning People, Not Arguments
There’s something in all of us that wants to be right: to win! We’re competitive, and good-natured bantering can be great sport: Which team will win the Super Bowl? Who makes the best pizza? What is the best pickup truck? But when the emotion meter rises, we can find ourselves in an all-out argument that is more about winning than enjoying those we’re with.
