Hello Friends!  We are back with our last episode of the season. Lord willing, we are planning to be back with you in September at the latest.  During this episode Mark and Shawn discuss how we are called to share Jesus with our lips when we live on mission. The church is meant to be a people committed to the mission of Jesus. There is nothing greater we can do with our time than to help others fall in love with Jesus.

 A couple things to consider as you listen in:

 Why should we share Jesus with our lips? Why does it matter? 
How can people be saved if they don’t know Jesus?
If we don’t share Jesus with our lips who will?  

Church, We have been saved to “proclaim the excellencies of God.” 

Have a great summer and go live the Now Life!

In this episode the guys discuss our God given calling to show Jesus with our lives. Everything we do is meant to be for the glory of God.

Welcome back to The Now Life! Today Shawn and Mark continue their discussion on why relationships matter.  Relationships are where transformation can happen and where believers can experience encouragement and accountability to be faithful to Jesus.  Jesus modeled relationship for the purpose of discipleship.  So, why don’t we see more Christians in purposeful disciple-making relationships? Trust…Vulnerability…Transparency…Sin...All of the above?  Take some time and listen to this important conversation.
