  Sweet Jesus

  The Missing Ingredient in Most Christians' Witness (EP 208)

  Jul 29, 20261h 4m

  What if the greatest evangelism strategy isn't a strategy at all?In this episode of the Open ARMS Podcast, we explore Chapter 6: "We're Relational to BLESS Others." In a world that prizes efficiency, productivity, and technology, God continues to accomplish His greatest work through ordinary people who intentionally love and bless the people around them.Jesus rarely treated people like projects. He built relationships. He listened. He ate meals. He served. He forgave. He loved. Long before people believed His message, they experienced His presence.The same is true today.We'll explore the biblical foundation for living a life that intentionally BLESSES others, practical ways to deepen relationships with neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family, and why genuine love often opens doors that arguments never can.Whether you're naturally outgoing or quietly introverted, God has uniquely positioned you to become a blessing exactly where you live, work, learn, and play.Because changed lives usually begin with trusted relationships.In this episode you'll discover:Why relationships are God's preferred mission fieldHow Jesus modeled relational evangelismWhat it really means to BLESS someoneSimple ways to become more intentional every dayWhy loving people often speaks louder than winning argumentsIf this conversation encourages you, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share it with someone who wants to make a greater difference for Christ.You can also pick up a copy of Open ARMS: Connecting People to Jesus and learn how God can use ordinary relationships to accomplish extraordinary things.

  Is Time On Your Side? (EP-207)

  Jul 22, 202658 min

  What if the greatest obstacle keeping someone from Jesus... is us?In Chapter 5 of Open ARMS: Connecting People to Jesus, we explore a simple but life-changing truth: availability is really about allocation. Every one of us has exactly the same 168 hours each week. The question isn't whether we have enough time—it's what (and who) we're giving it to.Jesus didn't merely fit people into His schedule. He intentionally allocated His life to seeking and saving the lost. If we're too busy, too distracted, or too consumed with lesser priorities to notice the people God has placed around us, we're missing one of the greatest purposes of our lives.If you've ever said, "I just don't have enough time," this conversation may completely change the way you think about following Jesus. Open ARMS: Connecting People to Jesus is about helping ordinary Christians become extraordinary ambassadors for Christ—right where they already live, work, learn, and play.If this conversation encourages you, please Like, Subscribe, and Share it with someone who wants to live more intentionally for Christ.

  Don't Be A Jerk! (EP-206)

  Jul 8, 20261h 17m

  What makes someone approachable enough that others actually want to talk, open up, and listen? In Chapter 4 of Open ARMS: Connecting People to Jesus , we explore the second part of being “Available” for God’s mission: becoming approachable. Jesus welcomed the weary, the hurting, the sick, the ashamed, the outsiders, and the overlooked. If we are going to connect people to Jesus, our lives should reflect the same Spirit-filled posture. In this episode, we talk about how anger, pride, fear, negativity, constant talking, and self-centeredness can quietly push people away. We also look at how joy, peace, humility, hope, listening, and other-centered love make Christians more available for real relationships and Gospel opportunities. Because people do not usually open their hearts to someone who feels harsh, distracted, judgmental, or unavailable. But when the Holy Spirit forms the character of Christ in us, people notice. 📖 Grab the book: https://a.co/d/0iSjmoXp❤️ Like, subscribe, and share — let’s keep Jesus the Main Thing!Know any kids in need of quality books?
