Key Points from this episode:
- Ask yourself the question, what can we offer that they aren’t already getting?
- Be willing to do what you’ve not done before, as Steven learned to be relational in order to make disciples.
- In order to make disciples, Steven said he needed a discipling relationship himself.
- 1600 people have come to the Lord without a budget or a building!
- People feel 1) Invisible – they long to be known, 2) Isolated- they long to be accepted 3) Incomplete- they long to be loved.
These are human needs that the Gospel speaks to and that God fills. - Work hard to express worth and value to those who are skeptics. Find the image of God and what God is doing in them and acknowledge it.
- People don’t care about the message you have to share until they trust the messenger.
- Don’t rush to “close the deal” when sharing the good news! Celebrate the micro miracles God is doing and go with God’s pace of working in someone’s life.
- Our dinner tables are key! Have God conversations about the big questions of life
- Shared brokenness connects us with others. Be willing to be vulnerable about your own brokenness.
- Jesus is concerned with heart transformation, not behavior modification.
