Take the Responsibility and Model Jesus

Church Unscripted | Episode 25

 

Faith is a powerful force that can bring people together and create a strong sense of community. In Fort Wayne, families are at the heart of this faith-driven community, fostering relationships and engaging in hard conversations that deepen their understanding of Jesus. As we navigate the complexities of family life and the challenges that come with it, we can learn valuable lessons from the speakers in Episode 25 of Church Unscripted. Their insights shed light on the importance of faith, community, and how engaging in hard conversations can strengthen our faith journey.

 

Takeaways


We should model sacrificial care for others, just as Jesus taught us. It may be exhausting at times, but it aligns with our responsibility to care for one another.


Our language shapes our attitudes. Let's eliminate phrases like 'It's not my responsibility' and replace them with a mindset of taking on responsibility.

 

Addressing hard conversations within our families can be a stepping stone for spiritual growth. It allows us to explore our individual relationships with Jesus on a deeper level.

 

Giving children more responsibility in their faith journey can help them take ownership and build a personal connection with Jesus.
