What's your plan as we go into the holidays for how you're going to share the

gospel with your family members or friends who don't know Jesus? I wrote a short

resource called Gospel Threads to help you intentionally share Christ in the

fabric of your normal conversations around the table or the living room or wherever you are,

and we want to send you a free copy of gospel threads to your front door.

Just go to radical.net slash share Jesus.

Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical. net.
