SERVE Brew

In this special episode of the SERVE Brew, you’ll get to tune in to one of our Online Meet Ups with guest host, Austin Cooper. In this fun conversation, we’re joined by outreach leaders from various churches as Austin coaches us on practical tips and ideas for reaching the people in our cities with intentional acts of kindness…aka a Kindness Explosion.

SERVE Day 22 is almost here! Tori Townley is hopping on to share some tips on how to lead well, lean in to the moment, and create incredible experiences that can change peoples lives in every direction!

You may know them for their red light chicken mini giveaways, Reese’s Egg handouts, and $1 Car Washes. Austin Cooper and the SERVE team at Greenwood Baptist Church are seeing a revolution of lives being changed through “simple” - yet anything but random - acts of kindness. In this episode, Austin shares his personal journey in outreach along with practical tips for making a meaningful difference in peoples’ lives in your community. Stay tuned to the end for a story that will blow your mind. (Tissues are recommended.)

Austin Recommends: Kingdom Matrix by Jeff Christopherson

These days we’re seeing so many people hungry for hope, open for meaningful conversations, and looking for answers. But how can we keep a “no strings attached” flow in our outreaches, while still leaning in to opportunities to share the hope of the Gospel with people? How can we intentionally minister to people right where they’re at without weirding them out or scaring them away? 

Ps. Kevin Bussey, professor at Highlands College, is here to share from his personal experiences and insights on what permission based evangelism looks like. And it’s a lot less intimidating than you might imagine. Listen in for inspiring stories, practical tips, and a fresh understanding of how simple leading someone to Christ can be!

Ps. Kevin Recommends:

As we gear up for SERVE Day and head into a summer of serving, we can think of NO ONE better to grab coffee with than the godfather of all things serve - Ps. Dino Rizzo. Whether you’re new to outreach or have been in it for ages…maybe you’re feeling a little unsure, a little compassion fatigue, or just need some fresh insight - this episode is for you! Get your coffee, pull up a chair, and lean in to Ps. Dino’s wisdom, insight, and encouragement that is sure to add fresh fuel to your serve fire!

"What if we tried something crazy?" That's what Ps. Chad & Angel Dinkel and Haley Fremin (Purpose Church) are always asking themselves when it comes to serving the people of Baton Rouge. And their radical ideas and "YES" culture are leading to some truly impactful moments in peoples' lives both in their community and in their church. Their latest idea turned out to be a huge hit! Listen in to find out all about it!

Outreach is all about finding needs and filling them, finding hurts and healing them. Some of the greatest needs and hurts in our world today are happening within the mind.

While mental health is a massive need - it’s not always readily seen or recognized. So how do we identify mental health needs in our community? How can we respond? What if we don’t feel qualified or even know where to start?

Father/Daughter Duo, Ps. Toby Slough and Bailey Garner are here to help us navigate and respond to possibly one of the greatest opportunities to spread hope we’ve ever seen. It may get a little messy - but it’s a lot simpler than you might think!

Get the tissues, the notebooks, the coffee, and all the things.

This one is a GAME CHANGER!

When we see people through the lenses of a heavenly perspective, deep love and radical kindness become our natural daily response. Hannah Ferrucci and Savannah Gibilisco are two young women who see differently and because of that - they love extravagantly! The way they recognize Jesus in humanity is what drives them to live each day on the look out for their "one", leaning in to the moments, and bringing a touch of heaven on earth. Bring your notebook- this SERVE Brew collaboration with Kaleidoscope Eyes is full of practical ideas for living every day like it's a kindness adventure!

Looking for ways to honor the heroes who have given their lives to serve others? This SERVE Brew is for you! On this episode, we’re joined by Conner Brew, who is here to share about his personal experience in the military and how that has sparked his passion for serving others. He’s got lots of practical serve ideas, words of wisdom, and inspiring thoughts to help us identify and tap into the gold of these great heroes who are all around us.
