How do you get your church members involved? By allowing them to dream and to serve. In this podcast, our host, Jose Cortes Jr., talks to Paulo Macena about finding creative ways to involve members in service and the importance of encouraging them to dream big dreams for God's church. Engaging all members into service is a new approach to evangelism that puts ministry back where it's supposed to be—in the hands of local church members. Everyone can do something to hasten the coming of Jesus!

Jose and Dustin Hall dive deep into some principles that will keep your church from becoming irrelevant. They go into how “our message” is something that helps us to lead people to a person, who is Jesus, not just a code of truth, that when referred to as “our message” makes us become insanely defensive and leaves other people out. Here, Dustin also explains his concepts: “you can’t love people you don’t know and you can’t change people you don’t love” as well “the ministry of the word without the ministry of presence is no ministry at all…”
