“I think that really most people could invite someone around for a cup of tea. And it might be that you're not near home when you meet people, you might be at work, but could you reach out?  Just take that step of moving towards people. Just a little way. Because I think we just live in a culture that doesn't do that. And even that is just really distinctive.”

This season explores the struggles we face when it comes to sharing Jesus, and how we can overcome these – confidently sharing the good news, particularly with those who are least likely to hear.

The struggle we’re facing in this episode is: “But I tend to hang around with people like me”.

Research shows fewer than one in three practising Christians have shared their faith with someone from a different social background, nationality, or religion. We often share the gospel with people who look, sound, and live like us. So how can we move out of our comfort zones to connect with people in our communities who may never get to hear the good news?

In this episode, we’re joined by Catherine Brooks, parenting blogger, teacher and mum of four, and Charles Yiadom Konadu, Project Worker at LCM’s Webber Street Day Center.

If you feel stuck in your own social bubble, or simply worried you won’t know what to say when reaching out – this episode is for you.

“We need to be on our knees and saying, God, give me more desire for those that you've called me to love. Give me the desire to love all people…the way you love all people.”
