Is Time Running Out On Your Relationships? (How Gospel Fluency Changes Everything)

How Gospel Fluency Changes Everything in Life

Ever feel like you and another person you love are speaking two different languages? And nothing ever changes?

  • In your marriage…
  • With your kids…
  • With your parents & siblings…

Even as a Christian, often your best intentioned “good news” doesn’t sound like good news to the other person.

Speaking the truth in love is hard, but you absolutely can learn to communicate the truth of the gospel in ways that speak into any and every part of your relationship.

This is called Gospel Fluency, and it has changed everything in my life.

I get asked about this all the time, and much of my teaching and training is connected to helping regular people grow in their gospel fluency. So…

I’m Inviting You to a Free Workshop and Training Webinar: 

The Gospel In Everyday Life

Your Relationships Are About to Change…

Yes, the gospel really does speak into and repair all areas of life….marriage…parenting…everything.

Here, now. 

In this FREE training, learn how to bring the gospel into your life and conversations, every day, and teach it to others. 

I promise this will transform your life and repair your relationships. 

Here’s just a sample of what we’ll cover in this info-packed Video Seminar:

  • What Gospel Fluency is and how you can grow in and master this “language”
  • How the gospel speaks into your marriage, parenting, hard feelings, awkwardness… and any sin issues that need to be addressed
  • How what you do (your actions) in life do not equal who you are (your value)
  • How the gospel speaks to your identity and self-image 
  • How 4 lies we believe about God lead to all human sin
  • How to experience transformation and freedom from sin and past hurts
  • How discipleship and evangelism have been twisted

Lifeschool 187: Why Jesus Didn’t Make Disciples in a Classroom

Something isn’t working. More and more we’re seeing people leave the church because it seems less relevant to them, and they are not being discipled in the normal aspects of everyday life. Jesus… can you help us?!

This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we look into why Jesus didn’t make disciples in a classroom or only sitting in rows at the temple once a week. And we’ll show you the discipleship environment he created. (You’ll want to live the same way too after hearing this!)
