    Today’s episode of Resident Strangers is all about evangelism! Evangelism is the act of sharing the gospel with people who aren’t Christians. We as Christians are called to share Jesus through the way we live AND through verbally sharing the gospel. If we do one but not the other, it can be an ineffective witness and confuse non-believers. With whatever we do or say, we should always point back to Jesus. The team shares useful tips to have conversations about the gospel, like asking what they believe about God and an afterlife, and why they think that. Ask personal and intentional questions to get to know them and understand their beliefs. Then, based on their answers, you can shift the conversation to explaining what the gospel is. You can even share your testimony of what God did in your life. People may not initially be receptive to having a spiritual conversation, but the point is to plant seeds and get them thinking. You never know how God will use that conversation in that person’s life later. If you are timid about sharing the gospel – or just need a refresher – this episode is for you!

  • 110 | Oikos
    2025/07/01

    It’s a new episode of Resident Strangers! In case you missed last week, Sarah is officially on maternity leave and Hailey Keller is filling in while she’s away. Steve, Rich, and Hailey talk all about oikos – not the Greek yogurt, but the biblical word meaning family, community, the people you do life with. Most people come to faith through hearing the gospel from these personal relationships, not just an invitation to church. Because of this, it’s crucial that we are intentional about sharing the gospel with people in our day to day lives. A role of the corporate church service is to empower and encourage the church body to go out and evangelize to their own communities. Christians shouldn’t solely depend on going to church with their nonbeliever friends, but to live like Jesus with their actions and words through intentionally sharing the gospel. We are ALL called to share the gospel. As you listen to this episode, ask yourself, “Who is one person in my life that is an unbeliever and needs to hear the gospel?” Then pray for opportunities to have those gospel conversations with them.

  • 109 | Sabbath
    2025/06/24

    Welcome back to Resident Strangers! In this week’s conversation, we welcome a new voice to the table—Hailey Keller—and say “see you later” to our amazing co-host Sarah as she begins maternity leave.

    This episode dives deep into a powerful topic: the Sabbath – how we should navigate and honor it in our own context. In Exodus, God commands us to remember the Sabbath day, the seventh day of the week, and keep it holy. He set an example for us by also resting on the seventh day of creation. However, as believers, people often question whether we are still bound by the Old Testament law. What kind of work should we stop doing on the sabbath, especially with technology begging for our attention? Is practicing the sabbath simply going to church on Sunday? What about rest – what does it look like and how do we do it correctly? The team uncovers how to grapple with these questions and suggests practical ways to practice keeping the sabbath and resting with intention. As you begin to implement the sabbath and rest in your life, remember to have grace with yourself if you make a mistake or don’t do it perfectly. God created the sabbath as a gift to give us rest, joy, and peace, not to be a legalistic rule for us. Whether you’re new to the idea of Sabbath or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers both biblical insight and real-life application.
