In what way(s) does the Holy Spirit empower us to share our faith?
What do you think about the idea that God can use unlikely people?
Have there been times when you have viewed people as projects? What do you think Danielle meant by that statement? Have you seen evangelism practiced like this?
When it comes to the idea of God using us to reach others, what kind of unnecessary pressure do we put on ourselves?
Think back to the person that God used in your life to invite you into a relationship with Him. What made their witness so compelling and attractive to you?
