Don't Be A Jerk! (EP-206)

from Sweet Jesus Hosted by Emil Gretarsson

What makes someone approachable enough that others actually want to talk, open up, and listen? In Chapter 4 of Open ARMS: Connecting People to Jesus, we explore the second part of being “Available” for God’s mission: becoming approachable. Jesus welcomed the weary, the hurting, the sick, the ashamed, the outsiders, and the overlooked. If we are going to connect people to Jesus, our lives should reflect the same Spirit-filled posture. In this episode, we talk about how anger, pride, fear, negativity, constant talking, and self-centeredness can quietly push people away. We also look at how joy, peace, humility, hope, listening, and other-centered love make Christians more available for real relationships and Gospel opportunities. Because people do not usually open their hearts to someone who feels harsh, distracted, judgmental, or unavailable. But when the Holy Spirit forms the character of Christ in us, people notice. 📖 Grab the book: https://a.co/d/0iSjmoXp❤️ Like, subscribe, and share — let’s keep Jesus the Main Thing!Know any kids in need of quality books?
