Jesus gives us a very clear and exciting job: to help others know and follow Him. But as we all know, life gets busy, and simple fears or distractions can easily get in the way.

This Sunday, Mike Broomell helps us look at the common things that hold us back, and how we can overcome them with God’s help.

Questions for Reflection This Week

• What is stopping me? What is the biggest thing that keeps you from sharing God’s love or helping someone else grow in their faith? Is it fear, lack of time, or feeling like you do not know enough?
• Where is my focus? Look at your daily routine. Are there small, simple ways you can invite others into your normal weekly activities so you can show them Jesus in action?
• Who can I reach out to today? Think of one person in your family, neighborhood, or workplace. How can you pray for them or encourage them with a simple act of kindness this week?
