Sent Into My Family | Sent | Week 5

God has not only called us to be sent into our workplaces and communities, but also into one of the most challenging mission fields we have: our families. Sharing our faith with those closest to us can be difficult because our family members know our past, our failures, and our weaknesses.

What's a word you've spent years trying to outrun or prove wrong—or a word you've been quietly waiting most of your life to hear?We were given the ABC Test (Affirming, Biblical, Christlike) and a charge: go home and say the thing. Who is the one person the Holy Spirit is highlighting for you—and what is the specific sentence you've been holding back that you're willing to speak this week?
