Share Good News: Your Workplace is Your Mission Field
Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast
Today on the the podcast, we’re going to talk about how we can light up the darkness in a place where we spend at least 8 hours a day, 5-days a week: our work. Some of us are fortunate to work in a place where we can freely proclaim our faith. But for many of us listening, that may not be the case. You may have some other people you work with who are Christ-followers, but for the most part you know every day when you walk in, you’re walking into an environment resistant or hostile to Jesus. You’re playing an away game. Today’s conversation with our three guests—Matt Hall, Yancey...

Share Good News: Gospel Conversations
Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast
Evangelism simply means to share good news. It’s the Greek word gospelize: to spread good news. It means to share, tell, proclaim and make known. Most of us are already good at it…we just don’t realize it. We share good news all the time without even thinking about it. We share stuff that we like, that has worked or something good that we’ve experienced all the time. We share news about sports, movies we’ve seen, books we’ve read or podcasts we’ve listened to. We just need to apply this to our own stories and share what Jesus has done for us with those around us. Today’s on the...

The Holy Spirit wants to comfort, heal and restore whatever it is that has caused you so much pain. Jesus wants to give you the grace and strength as you make the decision to forgive. In this episode, we want to make sure we unpack what forgiveness is, what it’s not, and what it looks like when we make that call—the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. Join us in the conversation this week with returning guest Gary...

In the Fire: Lies, Wounds and Strongholds, with Allen Connor
Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast
“We truly live at the mercy of our ideas.” —Dallas Willard. The ideas we believe in our minds and then let into our lives give shape to the trajectory of our souls. They shape how we live and who we become. No one talks more to you than you do! Most men would never let another man talk to them the way that they talk to themselves. You wouldn’t be friends with them! You might even fight them! Men, we’ve got to stop all this brutal talk and inner dialogue. Shut that guy up! Our guest this week on the podcast is Christian counselor Allen Connor. Allen has been in ministry and counseling...

In The Fire: Purity, with Connor Hall
Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast
Purity is a battle for most every man. It’s a consistent battle. We are constantly at war against the enemy, our own flesh. We have to stay vigilant in guarding our eyes, mind and heart because the enemy is serious about taking men out. Purity is a big weapon that he uses to destroy the work of God in men, marriages and families. We’re praying this episode will be helpful not only for you, but also for your middle and high school students—even your daughters. You know your kids and their maturity level. Listen to it and then discern if they’re ready for it. DISCUSSION GUIDE Opening...

Opening Questions

What are some of your favorite beach activities?
-
Where are you winning?
Bart and Scott talk about how Bob was a great example to them for ministry. Do you have a mentor? If so, how has that helped you? If not, is there anyone in your life that would make a good mentor?
Jesus’ mission is crystal clear:
Luke 19:10 (ESV) 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Matthew 20:28 (NLT) 28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
John 3:16-17 (NIV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
Read Luke 4:18-19. “This is why Jesus came! It’s the greatest news on the planet and we’ve gotten comfortable living in it and sharing it with others.” How does this passage and statement reinforce you in some ways and maybe challenge you in others?
What are a couple key things that stuck out to you from the conversation about the great commission?
“The enough that was enough for you is enough for the people God wants you to share the good news with.”
-
Have you ever thought about that?
-
How can you use your story in a way that shares the gospel?
Talking about fears when having conversations about Jesus, How does knowing the fact we don’t have to know everything help you?
What does it mean to ‘go’ for you? How does that look practically in your every day?
Scott closed with Philippians 2. Paul tells us that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. That’s either the best day or the worst day of your life. We either choose to do so lovingly, or after it’s too late…we will do so out of deep regret.
-
How does this reinforce the responsibility we have to share the gospel?
God has plans for you today. Who is your one?
