How do allow the Holy Spirit to remind us about our passion to reach souls? We don’t just live on a high all the time. We need to trust Him in the midst of difficulty and distress. Gary Comer gives a few practicals to get out of that slump and find your purpose and passion.

Why does mission take precedence over everything else? Some might say that worship or love should take preeminence. But Gary Comer says that without missions, we cannot see the glory of God expand to every corner of the earth.

We are inundated with news of tragedy and loss. People feel the fragility of our surroundings. We have one shot. How can we make our lives count and find the purpose for which we were created? How do you break through the superficial and display God’s glory? As you keep sowing seeds, the seed knows what to do. God knows how to multiply. Love authentically and you’ll see a harvest spring up from your missional efforts.

When you get into peoples’ lives you can then speak into their storylines. How does this happen? It’s all about relationships. We are called to make disciples but people can see right through ulterior motives. We need to connect with people as Jesus connected with them.

Jesus crossed cultural barriers. He was comfortable challenging the status quo. But it wasn’t just about turning things upside down. It was about building relationships to change the lives of those He came into contact with. He wasn’t the guy carrying the “turn or burn” placard. Jesus was interested in making disciples that made disciples. Gary Comer talks about his personal experience of relational evangelism and faith formation.
