On today’s episode, we’re wrapping up our series on the fruit of the Spirit! We hope you’ve found yourself convicted, challenged, and encouraged all the way through! These episodes on love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faithfulness have laid out how the fruit of the Spirit passage in Galatians 5 really summaries true, gospel-living. Today is no different! We’re chatting with Blair Linne on the topic of self-control, in which we find ourselves pointed back to the cross yet again. Blair Linne is a wife and mom of three. She is a Spoken Word poet, Bible teacher, and author. She is the Director of Women’s Ministries at her church, Risen Christ Fellowship, in Philadelphia, where her husband is one of the founding pastors.

In this episode, Hunter talks with Natalie Brand about how we were made to worship God.

Back to the Basics 8: Made to Worship with Natalie Brand

In this conversation, Hunter is chatting with Amy DiMarcangelo about evangelism. They talk about what the gospel actually is, why it is good news, and what it is that compels us to share this good news with an unbelieving world. Amy offers encouragement to those who might feel hesitant or unequipped to evangelize, and she reminds us how beautiful it is to play a part in bringing brothers and sisters into the family of God. We pray this episode encourages you to share the good news with those around you!

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

How does viewing evangelism as our part in God's grand story of redemption compel you to live out that calling more fully?

How would you articulate the gospel to someone who had never heard it before? Speak it out loud or write it down.

What comes more naturally to you—obeying the Great Commandment or the Great Commission? Why do you think that is?

Is there someone in your life who you might consider sharing the gospel with? Pray for an opportunity or make a plan to speak to them this week. If there is not someone like this in your life, take a few minutes to pray that God might bring you that person even this week.
