How Loving Your Neighbor Changes The World

We often think that leading someone to Christ is all about us saying the right things or doing the right things. Today my guests Dave and Jon Ferguson help us take the pressure off.

Dave and Jon share about why prayer is an important place to start, and why listening matters. They remind us that instead of trying to give all the answers how it’s important to allow our friends to draw their own conclusions. They share an amazing story about how being a “blesser” instead of a “converter” can really change a community in the long run. Finally, you’ll walk away with two simple ideas use B.L.E.S.S. to reach those around you. It all comes down to slowing down, listening to others, and investing in their lives.

About the Book:

What If You Could Change the World without Changing Your Daily Routine?

When you’ve been transformed by God’s love, you can’t help but want others to experience the same grace and freedom. But how do you share it without scaring them away or offending them? For most Christians, “evangelism” is an intimidating word that suggests handing out tracts to strangers or doing other awkward things.

But what if there was a more organic, more authentic way to share your faith with your friends, neighbors, and coworkers?

Dave and Jon Ferguson have found five simple, straightforward practices that will allow any believer to do just that. And by consistently living them out, you can affect not just individual lives but your entire neighborhood and community—one person at a time.

    I enjoyed this interview. It made me think of two neighbors that I am sorry to say I hadn’t thought about reaching out to. I like the acronym B.L.E.S.S.
