From Ordinary to on Mission with Pastor Bill Staffieri

Pastor Bill Staffieri had heard it all before. Student impact lists. Evangelism strategies. Another approach to getting more people in the room. When he first encountered the Oikos principle, his honest reaction was: I've been here, done that.So why did he drive two hours back for a second training?In this episode of Oikos Stories, Bill, Senior Pastor of Beach Point Church in Fountain Valley, California, shares what changed the second time he heard the Oikos principle, and what happened when his church committed to making it culture rather than a sermon illustration.The results were small, and big all at the same time. A woman lifting her head at the grocery store. A 14-year-old praying with his public school baseball team. And over 40 people tracing their faith back to a single decision to lean in.In this episode:Why Bill almost dismissed oikos as just another evangelism strategyWhat it looks like to commit to oikos for an entire year of sermons and push through the dipThe baseball team story: one kid's prayer and three generations of people coming to ChristWhy Bill says this is one of the most tangible ways to live out Ephesians 4Key quote: "It went from a strategy we could try at the end of a sermon to something that's just in the water here."If you've ever wondered whether ordinary moments can become ministry opportunities, this conversation will convince you they already are.
