13: Opening Up to Change
Manage episode 469962676 series 3603992
In their journey toward Jesus, our friends eventually may get to the point where they ask, “Could this change me?”
Sometimes it sneaks up on people unexpectedly. They’ve been exploring ideas or talking with a Christian friend, and suddenly they realize, “Something is happening inside of me.”
We want to be really attentive to this moment when it’s happening for someone.
We can help them begin to connect the dots.
