In this episode Claudia shares her biblical convictions on our call to spread the good news- the hope and purpose we have in Jesus. She describes the importance of developing a heart for the hurting and the lost and shares both radical and practical ways to follow the example of Jesus and make "the mission" a lifestyle instead of a task.
About the Speaker:
Claudia Teran is a 29 year old woman who loves to serve in the campus ministry in the Pomerado Region in San Diego. Growing up catholic, her passion for helping and serving others originated at a young age when she joined a monastery and later a convent considering becoming a full service nun. After studying the Bible herself, she is driven by the love of Jesus to teach and spread the gospel around the world with a special passion for the Middle East.
Episode Notes:
- The Mission isn't just a part of Christian life- it IS the Christian life!
- God has always been in the business of sending (John 3:16-17)
- Abraham
- Moses
- The prophets
- His Son, Jesus
- The Holy Spirit
- Sharing your faith is a lifestyle, not a task.
- The mission doesn't have to be overseas, it could just be sharing your life within your circles! This is a heart issue.
- Dare to dream big! Don't ignore God's callings and pray big prayers!
- Romans 10:13-14 "Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved." How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?"
- Obedience over convenience.
- Persecution is real- but God wants to walk with you through it! Resistance is part of the strengthening process. We need to be there for our sisters- we're in this together!
- The dark needs the light, so don't be surprised if God sends you into the dark!
Questions to consider:
- If you haven't been sharing your faith, what is stopping you?
- Am I making the gospel available to people that don't have access to it in my community?
- Am I too focused on my own spiritual growth that I'm not concerned with the spiritual well-being of those around me?
- The Mission is personal- what passion or talents has God specifically given you and how does he want you to use those to advance His kingdom?
