Generous Engagement – Relational ❯ Propositional Discussion

April 27, 2023

In this episode of Anchored & Reaching, Kevin Mannoia and Susanna Fleming dive into the concept of humble and relational evangelism, focusing on the importance of connecting people to the person of Jesus rather than just a set of propositions. Kevin and Susanna emphasize the value of every individual, regardless of their beliefs or behaviors, and discuss how Christians can become the hands and feet of Jesus through love, humility, and trust in God’s work.

In this episode, you’ll learn:The significance of embodying a posture of love and humility in evangelismHow to focus on introducing people to the person of Jesus instead of just a set of doctrinesThe importance of treating every individual with dignity and worth, regardless of their beliefs or behaviorsThe idea that Jesus doesn’t take sides and the caution against categorizing peopleThe crucial role of trust in God’s work and the Holy Spirit in guiding people towards JesusA powerful reminder that who we are is more important than what we do in our Christian journey

Join Kevin and Susanna as they discuss the art of humble and relational evangelism, inspiring listeners to embody love, humility, and trust in God’s work as they reach out to others and bring the kingdom near.

Generous EngagementChristians are called to engagement with the world. That’s what we mean when we say we are “the hands and feet of Jesus,” bringing the Kingdom of God wherever we go. Unfortunately, we often choose to engage in ways that can feel more like a sales pitch than real concern for the world in which we live and participate.

Becoming generous in our engagement requires a mindset like that of Christ, where salvation isn’t giving up on the world but is instead redemption of God’s creation. “Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven,” wasn’t a platitude – it was the goal. Let’s consider what that looks like as we prepare ourselves for generous engagement.
