Here I Am, Send Me | Why Following Jesus Means to Reject The Ordinary
Evangelism” sounds like a scary word. You might picture guy in a suit speaking to a stadium or a guy screaming on the street corner. But what if we told you that the people Jesus called to be evangelists are…you and me? This week, Kyle shows us how evangelism isn’t just to reach “those” people “out there”, but all of us are called to go not just to the ends of the earth, but to our neighbors n...

Faith Means Movement | Why Faith Isn’t Just About Agreeing With God

Staying in the Lion’s Den | Why Following God Means An Invitation to Danger
