Broadcast His Love

Living Abundantly with Melissa Shoemaker

Melissa Shoemaker is a dear friend of mine in Pensacola, Florida. We have children who go to the same school and we have known each other for years here in Pensacola. We love this city and we do talk about our community a bunch throughout this chat! Loved when she encouraged us to pause if we are not living abundantly.
She talks about SOZO and what the word means. Here is a link to more about SOZO, on Bethel's website: https://bethelsozo.ch/what-is-sozo/
Melissa works with Dawn Barton who has come on the podcast before. Here are links to Dawn's two chats from over the last two years and then below those links are ways to connect with Melissa and check out their next fall retreat!

Scriptures encouraging Melissa in this season are from Isaiah 60 verses 15-20 (NIV):
15 “Although you have been forsaken and hated,    with no one traveling through,I will make you the everlasting pride    and the joy of all generations.16 You will drink the milk of nations    and be nursed at royal breasts.Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior,    your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,    and silver in place of iron.Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,    and iron in place of stones.I will make peace your governor    and well-being your ruler.18 No longer will violence be heard in your land,    nor ruin or destruction within your borders,but you will call your walls Salvation    and your gates Praise.19 The sun will no more be your light by day,    nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,for the Lord will be your everlasting light,    and your God will be your glory.20 Your sun will never set again,    and your moon will wane no more;the Lord will be your everlasting light,    and your days of sorrow will end.

How to Start a Small Group with Kristeen Kidd

Kristeen Kidd runs the small groups at Echo Life Church in Pensacola, Florida and she’s also one of my dear friends in town. Hope y’all enjoy her instructions on "How to Start a Small Group" in this week's episode featured below. This week we are doing things a little differently. This week is more of a how-to episode to help you start a small group in your community for His glory. Kristeen and I recorded this video in our new studio named after my Dad who passed in January of this year. We call the studio where we record the podcast, "Scotto Albritton Studios."
If you’ve been wanting to start a small group but don’t know-how, we hope this is a good go-to guide to get you started. I love how Kristeen talks about the importance of the content you select for the study. Pray about what you pick and ask God to help guide you to pick the content He wants you and your group to study, for His glory. Let’s let the Holy Spirit lead our groups! Hallelujah! Thanks, Kristeen for your time and for sharing what God has shown you through hosting small groups and being a part of small groups for years!

You have been SENT with Heather Holleman

Would you believe me if I told you, you have been sent here on earth for a God-given purpose? You have! Jesus tells us He was sent in Luke 4:43 NIV after Jesus had healed many people, and they knew He was the Son of God Jesus said -- "...I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent."
Like Jesus, we too have been sent to share the good news of Jesus.
Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” John 20:21 NIV
I learned more about this frame of mind (being sent on purpose by Jesus, for Jesus) when I read a book called "Sent" written by our guest this week, Heather Holleman, and her husband, Ashley. The book talked about living a life that invites others to Jesus. 
Heather is a professor at Penn State and shared with us that she feels called to her neighborhood, family, and work. She said, "I believe it is no accident where you work, where your house is, what your career is, who your children are socializing with -- It makes life such a supernatural adventure."
Thank you Heather for coming on the podcast and sharing with us what God has on your heart!
