This Summer is off to a beautiful start and is full of connection, growth and activation at Studio. We are calling this our “Summer of Kindness”! On Sunday we did part 3 of this series with our panel talk on “Sharing Jesus.” We had a great time exploring what this looks like in our lives and in our world today.

We kicked things off by talking about evangelism—what it is, why it matters, and how it’s a central part of following Jesus. In Mark 16:15, Jesus tells us to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” These were some of His final words to his disciples and we carry this commission to GO.

Our goal was to put flesh on some of these big words, to know the power of the gospel (good news), and to get God’s heart for humanity. We talk through things like:

• What does sharing the gospel look like in everyday life?

• Why is it sometimes hard to do?
• How do we know when to talk to someone, and what do we even say?
• What is the role of love in reaching humanity?

As we aim our heart and attention toward people, it’s important to be aware of who is in front of us. Do we know who we’re talking to—whether someone knows Jesus, has church hurt, or is just figuring things out. Especially in the South, where there are churches on almost every corner, it’s easy to assume where people are coming from. Walking in the awareness of God's love often looks like slowing down, listening, and being present.

Billy Graham said it best:

“It’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict, God’s job to judge, and my job to love.”

At the end of the day, we’re all called to share the hope we’ve found in Jesus—it doesn’t require us to know everything, but is powerful when we are moved by love. Let your light shine (Matthew 5:16), give what you’ve got, and trust that God will use it.

Let’s continue to grow and mature in love, and get good at sharing it with those around us!
