Local churches play a key role in leading people to Jesus. David Kim joins the podcast to remind us of that important job. He has been equipping believers in his church to evangelize in the community. In the Bay area, where David lives, there is a great harvest that churches can minister to.Going deeper in discipleship can be a difficult process, but David shows why benefits outweigh costs. By surrendering to the Holy Spirit, he has seen his community change through sharing the Gospel. David has been able to partner with God in ministering to those around him and in encouraging the Church to fulfill her call.What We Talked About00:24 - Episode summary01:30 - Introduction01:55 - The role of the local church05:46 - The transformative effects of discipleship07:16 - How has this stretched you as a leader?09:56 - Leading a church through transition13:15 - Finding a value for evangelism14:36 - The spiritual reality in the US15:48 - A vision for what ministry would look like20:51 - The local church as a center for movement24:20 - What is your prayer for the local church?29:34 - Growing in camaraderie with God33:58 - How can we best pray for you?38:18 - Resources and feedbackResources & Contact InfoWebsite: https://pursuitbible.comEmail: Check Full Show Notes How to Get to Heaven According to the BibleAdditional ResourcesKyle shared the article, CHURCH PLANTING LESSONS: HOW WE PLANTED 100 DISCOVERY GROUPSJustin shared this feedbackShow LinksFacebook: @engagingmissionsMessenger: @engagingmissionsTwitter: @engagingmissionLeave a VoicemailBecome a PatronListen for FreeDisclosure of Material Connection: Some of the links in the post above are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission.
