Many times people have a heart to want to share the Gospel but they feel insecure and therefore, don’t share because they don’t know what to say. In this podcast, Gary and I break down some ways to engage people and give some ideas how you can share the Gospel. It is easier than you think. We tell some stories as examples of how you can engage someone and lead them to accepting Jesus if they are ready. While there is no perfect cookie cut recipe for sharing about Jesus, we share some helpful tips and outlines to help guide you in these conversations. We want to just help you get the conversation going. We are praying for you as you listen and put some of the ideas into action. Let us know how your journey of sharing is going.

Gary Kendall and Brooke McMahan discuss Lesson Four in Season 2 of the B.L.E.S.S. Podcast from the lovekc.net Online Discipleship Course. 

Jesus urged his followers to care for the hungry, the homeless, those who are sick or in prison. Surprisingly, he suggested that our loving service to these needy people would be a gift to him. This theme bounces through the Scriptures. Love for God means love for others (1 John 4:8). Love is the highest calling for the Christian, our identifying trait (1 Corinthians 13:13; John 13:35).

Gary Kendall and Brooke McMahan discuss Lesson Three in Season 2 of the B.L.E.S.S. Podcast from the lovekc.net Online Discipleship Course.

We teach a 'Pray, Care, Share, Disciple' lifestyle. We put 'Pray' first for a good reason. There's a powerful connection, we think, between the first great commandment to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and the second one, to love your neighbor as yourself. We really need that first one, the loving God component, to be able to accomplish the second one. In this episode called ‘Pray’, we're going to talk about this loving God component and talk about the connection that we call prayer.
