On the Road

Help People Take One Step Closer to Jesus


Listen Later

Chris Lynch shares some key insights about helping people take one step closer to Jesus.

I recently ran across the "Engel Scale" which shows some specific steps people take on their journey to Christ.  When I posted a question on Facebook, Chris provided a great response (see below) that led us to schedule this interview.

Check out the BLT Communities that he mentions: https://ontheroad.link/blog/luke-10-principles-in-social-communities

Here is Chris's original response:

We trained this before there was NPL. We paired it with the parable of the soils (Mark 4) and emphasized looking for God prepared people. If you don’t know who you’re looking for then you’ll rarely find them.

At the same time, we tried to help people see:

People are on a journey. It’s our responsibility to start where they are and help them move towards God as long as our journeys overlap.

New churches starting from the lost among the lost give those who have farther to go on their journey a greater chance of coming to faith in Jesus through a sustained Gospel presence.

The Gospel, mouth to ear, is the best litmus test to begin understanding where a person is on their journey.

The distance from God is the same no matter where a person is on the scale before trusting Jesus as king. The journey will be different, but no one is more lost than another.
