Passionate Ears to Match Your Heart

We need to share the bridge to Jesus & the Good News to everyone we possibly can. We earn the right to be heard by sincerely listening to others. Consider these questions when you are listening to another person's life story.

What need is this person feeling?

What difference does Jesus make with that need?

How can I introduce the Jesus difference?

What faith story do I have that shows the difference Jesus can make with this need?

How to share the message L.I.S.T.E.N.

 Listen to their story
 Identify the difference Jesus makes with their need
 Share your story - the difference Jesus made
 Take them to the cross and the empty tomb
 Encourage them to receive Christ
 Nurture this new relationship with Christ

Be wise today and always - be a passionate listener for Jesus.
