Discussion: 1.) One of the key strategies for Seekers is to make sure their faith is balanced in head, heart, and hands. Which one do you think is more natural for you to lead people through? Which one might be the most challenging? What are some ways that you can think of evangelism as a “team sport” and use the gifts of others to help in bringing people to Christ? 2.) Sometimes a Seeker wants to accept the gospel, but has some major barrier in their life that is preventing it. What are some reasons why a Seeker might not be able to accept the gospel? 3.) How did you feel about the advice on when to invite someone to church? Do you agree or disagree with that strategy? 4.) Activity - Role Play Divide up into pairs. Read over this situation together and role-play how you would handle it. Give each pair at least five minutes to practice. Then, switch roles so that each person gets a chance. Situation: Your Seeker friend is considering becoming a Christian, but is afraid of what his/her family might think. Most of their family, especially their parents, are avowed atheists and will likely reject your roommate for this decision. Follow-up: What worked in this role-play scenario? What are some things your partner did well? What did you notice within yourself as you acted in this scenario? 5.) Pray: Spend some time together praying for people who are ready to accept Jesus. Ask that they would receive a clear invitation to the gospel and have the courage to take that final step of faith in him.
