As we dig in to Acts 16, Bryan Clark makes clear that we need to remove all unnecessary obstacles to a meaningful conversation about Jesus. "There's going to be a lot of stuff that we just don't need to try to change and fix until somebody encounters the resurrected Christ," Bryan explains. Likewise, we need to be very sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Our goal is leading others to a relationship, not a religion.

Sharing Jesus with others doesn't happen through programs and gimmicks. It happens through relationships. In this episode, Bryan Clark encourages us to rightly represent Jesus as we go and make disciples. "We go with the heart of a servant," he explains. "We go with the heart of Jesus." This means washing feet, loving the unlovely, and befriending the lost and the lonely.

When we leave the house every morning, do we leave with the heart of a servant? Do we enter our day saying, "It's all about me" or "Today, I'm focusing on others"? Bryan Clark explains that the identifying mark of a disciple of Christ is a heart of a servant. As Bryan teaches from John 13 and Philippians 1, he points out that we share Jesus with the world as we lay down our lives in Christian service.

The heartbeat of the Gospel is this: Jesus has what we're all looking for, what our souls have been thirsting for--the living water. In his study of John 4:1-42, Bryan Clark teaches that God wants us to share this message to every man, woman, and child in every corner of the world.

Sharing Christ with others means sharing conversations with them. It's about "doing life together" and letting them glimpse our heart. As Bryan Clark unpacks Christ's call to "go and make disciples" (Matthew 28:19), he encourages us to genuinely care about others. And somewhere in the conversation, he explains, we can introduce them to the One who has radically changed our life--Jesus Christ.

As he continues his discussion about discipleship, Bryan Clark points out that it's not our job to fix people or to judge them. "The only thing that really matters," he says, "is to create an environment where we can have a very loving, compassionate conversation about Jesus." At the end of the day, it's Christ's power that changes lives.

What comes to mind when we think about evangelism? According to Bryan Clark, four words should ring in our ears: "Go and make disciples" (Matthew 28:19). Bryan reminds us that our mission is discipleship, not churning out converts. Jesus calls us to teach and to train others; to help our friends and neighbors find deeply meaningful relationships with God.

Bryan Clark challenges us to let the hope of what's to come--eternity with God--change the way we live today. Our focus, he says, should be on "treasure" that lasts forever: knowing, loving, and serving Jesus; leading others to Him; bringing Heaven and Earth together by living each day as citizens of God's Kingdom.

Understanding the truth about God and Heaven dramatically changes the way we live our lives--especially how we view the world and treat others. In this episode, Bryan Clark encourages us to grasp what the Bible says about the afterlife and what's to come: God is going to redeem all creation back to Himself.

What will Heaven be like? The Book of Revelation describes a magnificent city called New Jerusalem--a place that holds the throne of God. Will we live there too? In this episode, Bryan Clark explores some amazing truths about the afterlife: We will have new bodies, there will be a sense of time, and we will experience a world that's similar to what we've understood. The difference? Heaven will be a perfect, eternal paradise.
