News Too Good Not to ShareSample

We have news that is too good not to share!

Sharing kingdom principles with others shouldn’t only happen in the context of small group settings where we speak about our own spiritual adventures. If we want these life lessons to root themselves deeply in the lives of others, they must experience these truths for themselves. 

Discipleship doesn’t take place only through discourse. It comes through relationships, partnering, and doing life together. Yet it seems that we often get so focused on group studies, weekly meetings, and programs that we have neglected this truth. We have forgotten what will bring about the outcomes we desire and so desperately need.

Too often we expect those we influence—whether they are men we disciple, our adult children, teens or those we serve with who are younger in the faith—to be changed by simply hearing about what God has done for us. Somehow, we think, our stories will build their faith. “God did this for me,” we might say to others, and expect that to do the trick. But kingdom discipleship doesn’t work that way. We can’t just spoon feed others with the truth. We need to help them experience God for themselves.
