Episode 221 - "Kind of a Downer"

Reflect on What’s Not Working in LifeWe’ve talked all season about leading gospel conversations with unbelievers. This week we introduce the first of a series of discussions we’ve designed to take someone from Square One to conversion. In this kickoff episode, we ask why things are so broken in our world. Where did we go wrong? Recognizing the problem is the first step toward understanding the solution Jesus offers. We discuss the bleak picture in Isaiah 59:1-13 and the Heavy Words the Bible uses for sin. After walking through the guided discussion, we take a Closer Look at some tips for leading a dialogue like this with someone in your life. We pray that as we shine a light on the gospel, God will use these discussions to expand his kingdom.The Big Idea: Humanity has slipped into some terribly unhealthy patterns — and if we’re honest, we can see that brokenness in ourselves.This Week's Challenge: Let’s watch this week for both healthy and unhealthy things in the world.Show NotesJesus Said: Matthew 9:12 (VERSE)Square One Guided Study (GUIDED STUDY)Square One - Session 1 (LINK)Getting to Square One (GUIDED STUDY)Getting to Square One Study Guide (PDF)Support the Show
