Feeeeelings. Nothing more than… okay you get the point. Often times we equate an emotional experience with faith building. It CAN be, temporarily. But to stand the test of time, the roots have to go deeper, and must affect daily life. When making disciples, we must help a person take an important step in their thinking. “The things I’m learning in the Bible really apply to my daily situation. The Bible DOES have answers for me.” In this episode, we outline some ways to help a person connect the CRITICAL dots between the scriptures and the answers they seek in daily life. It might seem insignificant, but THIS is where the Bible becomes practical. In other words, more than a feeling. Ready? Lets GO!

While the consumer is left wanting, the seller feels like they accomplished something. But it seems that most methods of presenting the gospel really are the quick and easy variety. What better way is there to present the gospel that will be more likely to produce lasting fruit? In this episode we offer a better path than the Romans Road. Ready? Let’s GO!

Let’s GO!
