3 Things that changed everything
I recently had a video call with my friend Nick Duffy who is serving Jesus in Manchester, UK. We shared “3 things that have changed everything” Take a watch and see what you think about the things we shared…

Excellent stuff, Ben & Nick. So many helpful one liners. Jesus is Lord not just Saviour. Give yourself to prayer & honour the Holy Spirit. Keep learning about what Jesus did. How can I best love love this person to find God? Results are not our problem. Success is obedience. Obedience is simple but not easy. We are dying to our old ways – dying each day. Being a disciple is about us – making a disciple is about them. I won’t invest in anything that doesn’t make disciples – it keeps us focused. Am I hanging out with people who are far from God? Presume all your ‘Christian’ team will leave! Finding a person of peace is not mission or evangelism. Spend time with people. Humble ourselves to perseverance not our wisdom. Perseverance produces a crop. I am still fresh after 5 years. Meeting new people is exciting – we are challenged by them. We are still making mistakes. We have to confess sin. We are still learning. BE & MAKE disciples & BUILD disciple making movements. Movements are the overnight success that were 10 years in the making. The Gospels are about obedience. The book of Acts is what happens when we are obedient. I’ve probably missed many other gems & I pray the ones I have mentioned are correctly quoted. The final comments were: find people doing it, spend time with them, don’t look for the spectacular, pray, read & fast until our life reflects it, listen & obey. Thanks so much Ben & Nick.
