What if your ordinary interactions with family, neighbors, and coworkers are actually invitations to adventure with God?
Sent: Living a Life that Invites Others to Jesus invites you to grow joyfully with Jesus as you live out your true identity as sent to share Jesus with others. Heather and Ashley Holleman have fully embraced their identities as sent through nearly two decades of full-time ministry. With joy, they proclaim the name of Jesus knowing that God is always at work around us, that He is seeking and saving the lost, and that He is excited for us to do this work with Him.
In Sent, they provide insights and stories gleaned from their experiences so you too can live into your identity as sent. You'll learn practical strategies for gathering those in your community through discussion questions and activities that teach everything from asking good questions to sharing your own stories of gospel transformation. Use this resource individually or in groups to grow in intimacy with Christ as you engage the world around you with the hope and love of Christ. When we believe in God's desire to reach the lost, how we live our own lives changes, and we begin to partake in the joys--not obligations--of evangelism.
