This week we sat down with some special friends to talk about evangelism. What is it? Are we all called to evangelize? What if we are scared? or shy? Join us as we unpack some helpful truths about evangelism that just may encourage you in sharing the Gospel.

Meet the Guests:

Peter and Maddie Walker are full of life and laughter. They are incredible parents to three fierce children and both in active service at GCC. Pete is a current elder candidate of GCC and a sound teacher of the Word. Maddie, our local zoology expert, is wise and loving and fantastic with a crochet hook.

This week we had the joy of speaking with two of the wisest people we know...Greg and Pat Reed have been in active ministry for decades. They joined us at the table to talk about longevity in ministry. How do you endure? How do you raise a family while serving? Where does your passion come from? So many good nuggets, so much wisdom, and many laughs were shared.

Meet the Guests:

Greg and Pat Reed are faithful. Greg, or cowboy as he is affectionately called, has travelled the country as a minister of the gospel and a builder of homes. Pat is a talented teacher, has served in numerous ministries, and shares her wisdom with the women of GCC. If you have not met this couple, do not wait- run. A beautiful example of faithful Christians, the Reed's are beloved by GCC and prove it is possible to endure in ministry.

This week the hosts sit down and get real. Have you ever been disappointed? Resoundingly, the answer is yes. Join us as we talk through the pain of disappointment and the reality of just how little control we have.

Have you ever been afraid? Overwhelmingly, the answer is yes. We know the Bible tells us not to worry and not to fear, but what do we do when we are afraid? Is it okay to experience fear? Does struggling with fear mean I am struggling with my faith? Fear is unavoidable in our culture. Join us at the table as we talk through the deep nuances of dealing with fear as Christians and where to run for refuge.

Church hurt can be a taboo topic in the church. Let's face it, whenever people are involved hurt is bound to happen in a variety of ways. This week we talk through different experiences with church hurt and what we do in those moments. The Lord's plans are for our good and His glory, and as uncomfortable as it can be.... that includes church hurt experiences.
