We can talk about sports, work, the weather, and just about anything else without thinking twice. But when it comes to talking about Jesus, we sometimes freeze.

Why is that?

In Ephesians 6:19–20, Paul asks the church to pray that he would have the boldness to share the gospel. It's an interesting request from someone who had already endured so much for his faith.

In A Request We All Should Repeat, we look at why Paul needed that prayer and why we do too.

We'll explore the spiritual battles that come with living on mission, the importance of praying for people who don't know Jesus, and how the Holy Spirit gives us the courage and compassion to share our faith.

You'll also hear practical ways to begin, including praying for someone by name, finding a prayer partner, and recognizing that you don't have to be an expert to tell someone what Jesus has done in your life.

Our responsibility isn't to save people. It's to share the message of the One who does.

Key Takeaways:

1. Living on mission is for every believer.
2. Prayer should come before the conversation.
3. Fear doesn't mean you're unqualified.
4. The gospel carries the power, not your presentation.
5. Boldness grows when we encourage one another.

Purity. Boldness. Perspective. In this message from Acts 5, we unpack what it looks like to live a life that points to Jesus—even when it’s difficult. The gospel is worth living for, worth speaking about, and worth standing on.

Key Insights:

1. Evangelism begins with personal purity. If your life doesn’t align with your message, your witness loses credibility.
2. Living boldly for Jesus often invites resistance—but it also inspires others.
3. The gospel spreads when the church walks in unity, generosity, and Spirit-led obedience.
4. Relentless persistence in faith is how spiritual impact is made, even when you face opposition.
5. Kingdom perspective keeps you grounded when standing for truth feels costly.
