Smack Dab: Living in the Center of God's Will

The Great Commission isn’t the great suggestion

Colleen Myers never wanted to be an evangelist. Her vision of big-haired women and white-teethed men begging for money on TV was the farthest thing from what she wanted to be. But when a test revealed she had the spiritual gift of evangelism, God started her on a journey that would revolutionize her life. And it can revolutionize ours.

Evangelism and discipleship are scary words to many of us Christians. We know we’re supposed to be doing it, but we’re not quite sure what “it” is. Many of us can quote Matthew 28:19: Go and make disciples of all nations. But how does that play out in our day-to-day lives?

Colleen discovered that being a fisher of men is a whole lot like being a fisherman. Using the tools of a fisherman, Smack Dab leads us through the various skills and mind shifts we need to share the gospel with those around us.

Using her own story as a recovering judgmental church lady, Colleen shares how God broke her heart for what breaks His and how He led her to share the gospel with hurting kids. What we’ll discover in Smack Dab is that when our purpose in life aligns with our Creator’s purpose for us, everything aligns. Will we still face challenges? Oh yes! Trials? Probably even more! But we will never want to turn back to our old way of living. Because there is nothing like holding the Creator’s hand as He runs to the lost and uses us to speak for Him. It’s the adventure of a lifetime, and we were created for it. We will never experience real satisfaction in our lives until we are doing what God created us to do.

With questions in each section that make this perfect for group discussion, Smack Dab will give you the tools you need to embrace evangelism and discipleship and go on the greatest adventure of all.
