The Christian Bubble
There's a danger for Christians - and especially church leaders - to spend all of their time with other Christians. So how can you make sure you're building friendships with those who don't yet know Christ?
Watch/Listen on:
The ninth part of an informal discussion about church growth and leadership between three experienced pastors. Listen to the whole conversation.
Some questions for further thought or discussion:
- What example are your setting? What do you find hard about relating to non-Christians? If you live in a Christian bubble, how could you burst it?
- How does your church encourage a) you and, b) other members to carve out time to spend with those who are not yet believers in Christ?
- Do you read the Bible with non-Christians? How could you begin to model this for other Christians?
