Show Notes

Discover how embracing self-sacrificial love over the need for power can transform your faith journey and impact how you reflect Jesus to others. In part two of the Bearing the Name series, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford delve deep into what it truly means to bear the name of Jesus in everyday life, moving beyond traditional evangelism to embody the beauty of Christ through actions and relationships.

Key Takeaways: • Immersing in Jesus to Reflect His Image – Understanding the importance of internalizing your view of God and how immersing yourself in Jesus shapes the way you reflect His image to others. • Self-Sacrificial Love vs. Power Over People – Exploring the choice between embodying self-sacrificial love and exercising power over others, and how this impacts every area of life. • Moving Beyond Traditional Evangelism – Discussing the limitations of argument-based evangelism and the importance of embodying Jesus' characteristics through actions rather than just words. • Creating Rather Than Critiquing – Highlighting the significance of building up and embodying a positive alternative within the community rather than merely critiquing existing structures. • Transforming Daily Interactions – Practical ways to reflect the beauty of Jesus in everyday situations, from personal relationships to encounters with strangers.
