The E+E Show: ”Missions in Your Own Community” feat. Lucas Pinckard

When we declare the gospel to an unbelieving world outside our church walls, we will offend and be offended and things will often get awkward. That's reality. That's what we're called to. In this episode, Pastor Lucas of FBC Lake Dallas shares real stories and practical advice about how small churches in the United States can regularly serve and reach the lost, hurting, and forgotten in their own communities.
- How can local churches work together to share services and resources while focusing on the gospel?
- How can your church learn the needs in your community, meet them, and share Jesus through it?
- How do you deal with the "messiness" that comes along with meeting unchurched people in brokenness? How did Jesus do this?
- Why is intergenerational mentorship essential to a disciple-making church culture?
