Learn how to create non-threatening conversations that point people to Christ. This often occurs through sharing your own story and quietly listening to theirs. From Steve Carter, teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church, in his new book "This Invitational Life."

Face To Faith

Perhaps you’ve heard someone talk about the Great Commission to “disciple the nations” (see Matthew 28:18-20) this way: “Jesus had only one plan—His disciples—and if they didn’t do it, it wouldn’t get done!” 

One might respond, “I feel like it all depends on me!” 

Let’s look to God's Word to better understand how we might live in light of the Great Commission as disciplemakers and help others do the same!

Motivation For The Great Commission

All throughout the Bible there are stories of ordinary people being used by God to do extraordinary things. Gideon was one such person. As you journey through Gideon's life, our prayer is that you are encouraged and challenged, and that you ultimately remember God is faithful till the end.

This 7-day Bible reading plan will show you how to do just that!
