Good news is meant to be shared, yet many of us find it difficult to speak openly about our faith in a culture that often treats belief as private and truth claims with suspicion. Still, Jesus’ invitation to bear witness remains as relevant today as ever. Through the Witness Practice, we will explore Jesus’ mission, motivation, and way of sharing the good news—growing in compassion for others, extending hospitality and friendship, and learning to express the gospel through both our words and our shared way of life. Witness requires courage, intentionality, and practice, but as we generously share the life we have found in Jesus, we may discover an even deeper life with him.

We’ll be using the resources from Practicing the Way. They have divided up the practice of witness into four sessions based on the practices of Jesus.

01 Begin with Love

02 Practice Hospitality

03 Partner with the Holy Spirit

04 Share the Good News

This companion guide provides reflection and practice exercises for you to begin experimenting with these skills for cultivating community in the way of Jesus.

We’ll be using the teaching videos and other resources from Practicing the Way for this four-week series.

Our growth groups will be meeting during their regular times on Tuesday evening, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. During our growth groups during the Service Practice, we engage in stories and deeper discussions about how to bear witness of Jesus’ love and kingdom.

Growth Groups are meeting through Zoom and in-person.

Please contact Liling > [email protected] for Zoom meeting details.

In these conversations, John Mark Comer and Shelbi Shutt interview different people who live remarkable lives of witness.
