Episode Description:

In this episode of Gospel Talks, George Binoka and Pastor Jeff Musgrave dive deep into the biblical and practical foundations of relational evangelism. Using Acts 11 as a model, they explore how the early Church of Antioch built bridges that led to lasting discipleship—and how we can do the same today.

You’ll learn four powerful verbs from the original Greek that reveal the natural flow of gospel relationships: start with conversation (laleo), share the good news (euangelizo), invite others into your life (parakaleo), and instruct in the faith (didasko).

Whether you're a pastor, a church planter, or just someone wanting to reach your neighbor for Christ, this episode will inspire and equip you to turn everyday moments into eternity-shaping opportunities.

2

I'm George Bonocca.

3

I'm your co-host today.

4

With me is Pastor Jeff Musgrave and he's the founder, the author of The Exchange and All

Its Materials.

5

And I'm very excited for a new book that's coming out very, very soon.

6

I will tell you guys more about that later in future episodes.

7

uh

8

Just gonna be talking today about a topic that's very important in our modern context,

especially in Western countries, but really everywhere, relational bridge building.

9

How do you actually build that bridge and go out and reach people?

10

And for those of you that are listening that are in ministry, this is like church planning

101, because we're gonna be talking about the Church of Antioch, which we all know becomes

11

the sending church for Paul and Barnabas to go out and do more church planning.

12

And so,

13

There's a ton of truths to be talked about here, but before we get into that, we just want

to put a need before you about the exchange.

14

know, the exchange has been on this expansion path.

15

And of course, we are a ministry that's supported, funded by our donors, our listeners,

our supporters.

16

And thank you guys so much for your generosity.

17

It's absolutely overwhelming.

18

And God's been able to do so much.

19

We don't sell our books at a profit.

20

We sell them to cover costs and for the mission field and everybody outside of the Western

hemisphere.

21

we actually give away our material and we give away a lot of things to pastors overseas to

support what they're doing just because financially we don't want that their finances to

22

be prohibitive and to getting into this material and using it for the sake of the kingdom.

23

But there are costs associated with that.

24

There are costs associated with the exchange bringing me on.

25

Pastor Jeff, you want to explain a little bit how so far the exchange has funded me being

here and what we're looking for here in the future.

26

We've been talking about expanding, expanding the exchange for several years.

27

And so our board has uh very cautiously and carefully uh set aside money to be able to

help us with that.

28

We started dipping into that money last January when we uh brought George on as a partner

with us.

29

George is only working for us part time.

30

But we really are amazed at the amount of

31

work that's getting done as a result of this partnership that we've made.

32

so what we're trying to do is raise enough ongoing support to be able to offset those

costs that we've been paying for out of savings.

33

And if you think about it like this, what we're looking for is a hundred people or so that

give $25 a month towards our ministry.

34

That's the cost of a pizza.

35

That's the cost of, you know, a half a tank of gas or a tank of gas for somebody,

depending on what you drive or whatever.

36

But you put it in terms of whatever you want to put it into, but it's actually not a lot

of money for most people, $25 a month.

37

But just a hundred people like that that we could find could offset not only the cost of

me being here, but more things that we want to do in the area of reaching out to churches,

38

helping churches become more effective.

39

There are ideas we want to implement that right now.

40

uh Money is kind of holding us back.

41

And this would go a tremendous, tremendous way in terms of supporting all continued future

expansions.

42

I think that recognizing the product that we're getting for the investment, I've just been

so thrilled to be able to see the impact that we're having and seeing more orders come in

43

every single day.

44

And it's only because people are hearing about it.

45

And that's really what the whole social media platform is all about is letting people know

that there are tools.

46

that will be a real help to them in trying to introduce their friends to Jesus.

47

A lot of pastors know how to lead people to Christ, but what we want to do is equip the

laborers believing that there are people in everyone's neighborhood that would be saved if

48

someone told them and then giving them the tools to be able to do that.

49

Yeah.

50

Amen.

51

Yeah.

52

And we're excited.

53

I think this, this last month we had 140,000 views on YouTube alone, which is absolutely

incredible.

54

have now over 2000 people listening to this podcast.

55

And, um, you know, that doesn't sound like a lot, but if you've ever tried to build these

things from the ground up, uh, that, that is, that is the Lord blessing those things.

56

This is the only reason that they're as far as they are.

57

Um, Jeff and Anna, when they, when they write a book,

58

I mean, they really put their heart and soul into it.

59

I mean, they really pray over every word.

60

so we don't do shoddy work at the exchange, but we're doing it for Jesus.

61

And we're very, very passionate to see churches become more effective and individuals

become more effective in personal, evangelism and discipleship.

62

so we believe that's the key to things turning around in America and in the West.

63

And it's the heart of revival.

64

I was talking to another preacher this week and he was asking me about writing a book and

how, how the process happens.

65

He said, you know, I've, I've thought about writing a book, but I can't decide what I

would want to write on.

66

I said, no, I go about that totally differently.

67

said, I don't, I don't want to write a book.

68

I just see a need out there of a, of a tool.

69

And I feel like someone's got to build that tool.

70

And so every, every single book that we write, everything that we do,

71

is all about trying to put tools in the hands of the laborers that will make them more

effective and more productive in the harvest fields.

72

That's incredible.

73

know, and I use your materials all the time in my ministry as a pastor here in the Valley

in Phoenix.

74

And I can tell you that, I mean, I've not come across bad content.

75

there are some books that get, you know, I don't know, maybe less in quality the further

you go along in the book.

76

And I'm almost done with living the exchange with Forrest and he and I love it.

77

We just wish there was a part two, I mean, it's long enough that we're just gonna go to

conversations with Jesus next.

78

But it's really, I'm very thankful for the materials this ministry produces.

79

It's not just patting us on the back.

80

It is God's work through Jeff and Anna, but it is God's work.

81

uh And use it, and it's there for you guys to use.

82

made it affordable that anybody could access it.

83

$5 to get your Exchange Bible study going.

84

That's really what it takes.

85

oh

86

So we're very, very excited about that.

87

just really want people to recognize when we um let you know about the needs that we have,

we're not in any way trying to make money.

88

We just want to facilitate the ministry that God is doing.

89

We believe in it passionately and we believe that some of you believe in it passionately

and want to share with you the needs so that you can participate with us.

90

Yeah, amen, amen.

91

Well, be praying about that.

92

See what the Lord would have you do, but looking for $25 in monthly support from 100

individuals.

93

Well, let's jump right into relational bridge building.

94

And why don't you take it away, Pastor Jeff, and tell us what you see there in the book of

Acts.

95

This is an incredible passage and the way that God showed you these verbs is really

incredible as well, laid out for us.

96

Yeah, well, so Acts chapter 11 is the first church plant in heathen territory.

97

It happened because of persecution in Jerusalem.

98

I these guys would have never traveled as far as Antioch had they not been fleeing from

that persecution.

99

It just shows you how God in his sovereignty uses even the suffering in our lives to

accomplish the good that he wants to accomplish.

100

And uh these guys traveled as far as Antioch and it's an

101

what I recognize here in this church plant, there's, there's a lot of detail.

102

And what we're going to talk about with these relational bridge builders is, is not the

detail.

103

We're just going to make a simple observation about the communication that the, looks like

there were two different Grecian men that were responsible for this church plant.

104

And uh the, love,

105

I heard a message on this passage once called the ears of the church.

106

When these two seemingly lay people start leading people to Christ, the church back in

Jerusalem heard about it and sent some preachers to help them because there was just a lot

107

of work to do.

108

But, but what we're going to do today is just observe four verbs of communication that are

in this

109

account of this first church plant.

110

So there are lot of details in here that we're not going to talk about.

111

But these four verbs uh of communication help paint a picture of what I call real building

relational bridges.

112

So the first one is really simple.

113

uh If a person is genuinely burdened for unbelievers and seeing people come to Christ,

114

they're going to be looking for preaching opportunities.

115

They're going to be looking by preaching.

116

mean, uh, sharing the good news, in Acts chapter 11, verse 20, uh, uses the word preaching

to be able to describe the verb you on Galezo.

117

We get our word evangelism from that Greek word you on Galezo.

118

It just means sharing the good news.

119

So these guys were looking for opportunities to share good news, but it's interesting to

me, they didn't.

120

just stumbled onto a preaching opportunity, a place to share the good news, they stumbled

onto some other people who were also Greeks.

121

And so these Grecian believers were were cast into Antioch.

122

They stumbled onto someone that they began to have a conversation with.

123

The English word we see translated here is they spoke to them.

124

But the

125

verb underneath of that, la la o, is the word for communication.

126

It's an anamanopeia word.

127

It literally means that what it sounds like.

128

So when you're listening to someone speak a language that you're not familiar with, you

don't actually hear words.

129

You just hear sounds, blah, blah, blah, blah.

130

And that's really what la la o is, is kind of a verb that means to have a conversation.

131

You're hearing the verbs or the words that people are communicating.

132

And that was their bridge to get to the preaching.

133

The reason I think that's significant is because I think in our world, so now we're moving

134

I uh think there are many of us who are burdened for the loss.

135

We would love to find preaching opportunities, but often they don't present ourselves

themselves to us as a preaching opportunity.

136

What does present itself to us?

137

is a conversation opportunity.

138

Hmm.

139

That's, I think, you wouldn't think a preaching opportunity would start with conversation.

140

It almost seems, uh you know, uh like antithetical or, you know, kind of like uh the wrong

way to go about it.

141

But uh that's incredible that, you know, Laleho is right there.

142

I mean, it's like it starts with conversation.

143

Yeah, and I think that when I look back on my own life, I recognize that the people that

God has given me the opportunity to see their lives transformed and become uh a believer

144

and then someone who gets discipled and then eventually a co-worker, uh those great

lifelong relationships happened at the beginning with a simple conversation.

145

I I look at all the ministry and that's amazing, but it all started back with a

conversation.

146

I can look back at my relationship with Carlton and the first conversation I had with him.

147

I can look back to the relationship with Michael and the first conversation that happened

with him, with Mary Ellen and the first conversation I had with her.

148

I over and over and over.

149

ah All of these relationships of powerful ministry started with a uh simple conversation.

150

Do you think we sometimes think that's counterintuitive because we're used to preaching,

then giving the invitation and having a conversation?

151

Whereas this is almost like backward.

152

This is like the other way.

153

It's like saying, let's have the invitation, let's talk, and then we'll have a platform to

preach.

154

Let's ask the questions and then let's give the answers.

155

Is that why you feel like we're just in a model shift?

156

Is that different from what you've seen in many

157

if you ask me, I've talked to a lot of believers about this and I kind of feel like uh

most of us have kind of bought into I've got to get just the right moment in order to be

158

able to witness and we're watching for those perfect timing, you know, the just right

moment.

159

And I actually wonder if sometimes that's not the evil one.

160

getting us to postpone to wait.

161

And what I am just trying to point out from this passage is let's look for the moments God

gives us and turn those moments into the right moment or the preaching opportunity.

162

So oh we have conversations with people daily, mean, everywhere we go.

163

And I think that if we recognize

164

conversation as a bridge into evangelism.

165

We're gonna have more conversations because we're gonna be looking for people to talk to

because we're going to be recognizing God might turn this one.

166

God might turn that one.

167

I had a conversation today that I'm wondering somewhere down the road.

168

If it might turn into a preaching opportunity.

169

I don't know.

170

But that's why I am so excited about meeting people and having as deep a conversation as

they'll let me have.

171

because I believe God will open doors to where I can preach to them.

172

You know, what's interesting is there's a kind of like a brand of churches that are good

churches, but preach well, but they would tell you my job is to preach, not to not to be

173

an advertiser or, or, or whatever, try to get some gimmick or bait and switch people.

174

My, my, my goal is just to preach.

175

And if I preach the church is going to grow.

176

ah Do you think, do you think there's a scenario in which a church is just going to

177

grow with no conversation, with no lale'o.

178

Yeah, I know I don't.

179

I actually believe that sometimes God does supernatural work and it's going to be OK.

180

But for the most part, oh any organization of any kind has to get the word out that we're

here and uh being faithful and preaching hard and preaching effectively, preaching through

181

the Bible, feeding people.

182

Those are all powerful, wonderful things.

183

but you're right.

184

They have to start back here and they just start with having conversations with people,

finding out what their needs are.

185

uh I love reading the conversations of Jesus.

186

just finished conversations volume two, turned it into the uh editor and I'm super excited

that it's off my desk for awhile.

187

But

188

studying the conversations with Jesus and recognizing how he simply asked questions and

took conversations deeper, listened well to people that people like you, you always say

189

people will tell you what's in their heart if you'll listen.

190

And if we will learn the art of asking good questions and listening with our hearts to

their hearts.

191

God's going to bring us to the place where we can preach to and I when I use the word

preach I'm using the word that's translated in this text It's actually the word you want

192

to go ledzo and it means to share good news And if we just share the good news of who

Jesus is and how he can meet these needs in your life uh It's going to change lives

193

Amen.

194

Yeah, I really agree.

195

And where I agree with those type of churches, uh many of them are called Bible churches,

is the Bible ought to be the thing we make a beeline to.

196

The Gospel needs to be the thing we make the beeline to as soon as the conversation

allows.

197

ah But I believe conversation is necessary to get to this next step, evangelism.

198

Yeah, and I will acknowledge I actually think there's a lot of churches out there that are

the exact opposite.

199

They're real good at building relationships with people, but they never take the

relationships anywhere.

200

And so I think that these two we have to recognize it as a bridge and a bridge is a

destination.

201

So the destination is I want to share the good news.

202

We're just recognizing that conversation is a bridge that takes us to the destination.

203

Yep, yep.

204

uh It is not just about having conversation.

205

I love the way you put that because then it shows you it's a balance.

206

It's having a biblical balance.

207

That's what I love about seeing these verbs laid out in this passage like this.

208

You almost go like, wow, this is right here and it's described so clearly and how come I

haven't seen it before?

209

And these verbs are all sitting right here in Acts 11 and it's pretty incredible because

we see from our experiences, this is exactly how it works.

210

uh

211

I love the word of God.

212

And it just seems to me that every single time I read a passage, just reading through John

chapter five this morning and you know, I've written a book on John chapter five and yet

213

I'm reading it this morning and a new truth coming to me, things I hadn't seen before.

214

And I'm thinking I had to write a book on that.

215

uh Conversation with Jesus, volume three, the rehashing of volume one.

216

Not gonna do it.

217

Okay.

218

not going to do that.

219

Okay.

220

Well, so that's one and two, Laleo and Evangeliso.

221

And from preaching, where do we take it next?

222

What's the next verb there?

223

So.

224

In verse 23, we see the word exhorted in our English text.

225

The word under that in the Greek text is the word parakaleo.

226

And I have fallen in love with this word.

227

It is just a beautiful relational word.

228

It's a compound verb.

229

the kaleo is to call.

230

And the para

231

is alongside of.

232

And the picture is calling people to your side.

233

And I love, you know, you hear people use, we got to walk through life with them.

234

And that's really the issue here is that the didosco, which comes to us in verse 26,

that's what we really need in people's lives.

235

They need to learn the Bible.

236

They need to be grounded in the Bible.

237

They need to be trained in the Bible.

238

That's the destination.

239

So the destination is uh did ask go to to instruct, give them instruction in the word of

God.

240

uh That's where we get our uh English word didactic.

241

It's that really specific teaching, and it's it's imperative.

242

That's the destination.

243

But the pathway, the bridge that gets us to the destination is this

244

hauling people into our lives.

245

So one of the things that we saw modeled for us a couple of weeks ago on the podcast when

you had Cody on was that you guys have, uh, you actually meet on a weekly basis just

246

because you're friends.

247

You want to be with each other.

248

Uh, you, you started walking through life together and that's, that's the key.

249

The key is not, I've got to teach these people.

250

Yes.

251

That's the destination.

252

But the key is let's start hanging out with these people.

253

Let's start spending time with them.

254

Let's call them to our side.

255

It's beautiful, beautiful uh way of life that God calls us to.

256

It's like I heard Walt Brock talk about something a long time ago that stuck with me.

257

He said as a dad, um he'd kind of follow his sons into their various hobbies as they grew

up.

258

And if you went into his garage, you'd see this kind of thing and that kind of hobby and

that kind of hobby, all these kind of hobbies that kids get into.

259

And, you know, they changed hobbies fairly quickly because children kind of pick something

up, get tired of it and then go on to something else.

260

And I think that

261

Just like that's a good principle to follow in parenting, that we ought to follow our kids

into their hobbies.

262

We, without, you know, obviously disobeying the Lord or doing something contrary to

Scripture, we ought to at some level follow our friends or the strangers or whoever God

263

puts in our life into their hobbies.

264

You know, I met a guy uh in a gun store.

265

So I rented a spot to, you know, in that

266

shooting in their shooting gallery or whatever.

267

And I went and rented a booth and we went and shot together on a different day.

268

uh Hey, Chris and uh the uh Jeff and Cody, they all play Halo.

269

So guess what?

270

For the first time in my life, I'm trying to learn how to play Halo.

271

And I never thought I never thought I actually argued against it in my college years in

Bible college.

272

You cannot use video games for evangelism.

273

just it's a terrible idea.

274

And now I'm using video.

275

games to build relationships and love on these guys.

276

And I really don't care for the video game.

277

I really just care for the people on the other end.

278

And so uh

279

say this, you're you are going to end up having a lot of fun when you do that.

280

God wants us to enjoy our lives.

281

And one of the ways that he brings enjoyment into our lives by bringing people into our

lives.

282

And I, it's all about the people.

283

And it's it's about building the relationship with the people, you know, but especially

men shoulder to shoulder relationships are

284

much more productive than face to face relationships.

285

uh I'm not exactly why men are that way.

286

Someone else will be smarter than me.

287

We'll have to figure that out for me.

288

But I just have observed down through the years when I go hunting with a friend, when I go

play golf with a friend, those are going to be opportunities for me to have real and deep

289

conversations with them that

290

that I probably would never have had if I said, would you have lunch and let's talk about

something?

291

It's like that panics them, you know, but when I'm sitting in a golf uh cart with someone

as we're driving to the next hole, that kind of conversation is a lot easier.

292

Right, right.

293

And even if you, if the shoulder to shoulder thing, like there's some guys I know, the

shoulder to shoulder thing they love is eating together.

294

And so what I'll do is I'll be like, hey man, let's go hit some wings or whatever and

we'll go there.

295

And I won't really have a real agenda.

296

I mean, I'll have some desires in my heart.

297

I'll be praying that God brings up some things, but you'll be surprised ah what can come

up just sitting down eating together all of a sudden.

298

somebody's like, well, we're gonna talk about the weather all day and then all of a sudden

they might feel comfortable like, hey, know, like, let's talk about this for a second or

299

they'll ask you a tough question.

300

I've also noticed that interacting with people in a group that you have to figure out how

to take it to an individual level because sometimes in a group setting, they're not, you

301

know, three guys who aren't, you know, Christians yet or haven't accepted what the Bible

has to say yet about Jesus Christ, they're not gonna all of sudden be comfortable

302

altogether.

303

to maybe sometimes get into that.

304

Sometimes, maybe rarely they will, but what I've noticed is to have that very much more

intimate conversation, you have to figure out how to have fun in a group setting and also

305

have individual relationships and things with them on an individual level, ah to have

both.

306

Just something I've noticed working with these.

307

good.

308

And sometimes getting together with a group will give you enough shoulder shoulder time to

be able to have a private conversation with them.

309

So that's that's really good.

310

I think that one of the things that we have to remember is the the relationship, the

calling someone to one side is the bridge.

311

The destination is the the instruction.

312

And so we can't, just like with evangelism, you can't let the conversation be the

destination.

313

It's the pathway.

314

ah Evangelism is the destination.

315

Even so with uh discipleship, it's the getting into a person's life that gives you the

ability to genuinely disciple them and help them.

316

I love the picture that we see of Jesus.

317

When he wanted to be close to someone, he would say to them, follow me.

318

come with me, let's do life together.

319

And it was in that context that he discipled people.

320

Hmm.

321

You know, and what I love about pericleo, I know you, conversations, evangelism, and

assimilate, that's the points you make there in giving the exchange the book.

322

But pericleo means comfort, means it's the word that's used to describe the activity of

the Holy Spirit, or the word used to describe, you know, what does a wife, uh you know,

323

what does she do in the family?

324

And she comforts the family and brings everybody together and brings you into each other's

lives.

325

So I just love that whole, you just gotta open up your life to somebody.

326

It's not about having a separate track for that person.

327

It's bringing them on your track and saying, okay, well, this is something I'm doing this

Easter with my family.

328

Wanna come?

329

I mean, that's what it is.

330

That can be a hard thing sometimes, because we wanna have everything compartmentalized in

our lives.

331

But doing these kind of relationships means opening up your life to other people.

332

It does.

333

I love the idea that we have to open our life.

334

That's really the picture of Pericleo is opening up.

335

I am opening a door for you to come into my life.

336

You mentioned it, but I'll say it specifically.

337

This verb is the noun or the same word, but the noun form in John 14, 15 and 16.

338

where Jesus is called the Comforter or in the modern translations the Helper.

339

is, or actually the Holy Spirit is called the Comforter, the Helper.

340

It's a beautiful picture.

341

The Holy Spirit literally comes to abide.

342

He comes to live.

343

And that's the picture of when we have someone that God brings into our life as a convert.

344

That's our baby.

345

are now responsible and we're going to come into their life and live life with them.

346

I love that.

347

And I love the word of Biden in John 15.

348

be with me, stay with me, ministry of presence.

349

I mean, just show up in people's lives.

350

It's an incredible thing.

351

if you are wearing Jesus comfortably on your shirt sleeves.

352

mean, when you are purposely living what I call the Christ life, demonstrating Jesus,

speaking Jesus, when I'm with someone, I'm going to be able to help them grow in the Lord

353

because that's what God does through my life.

354

And so I have to spend time with them in order for that to be able to.

355

Yeah, amen, amen.

356

And then this last point, didosco, this is instruction.

357

This is actually where you get to doctrine.

358

ah And so what do you do at this point?

359

Well, in my life, I'm always going to work toward living the exchange.

360

That's my go-to book.

361

I actually wrote that book specifically to disciple the people that I had been leading to

Christ.

362

I mean, I never wrote the book to publish it.

363

I wrote it to be able to help people.

364

But that particular book works through

365

what practical spirit filled living looks like?

366

How do I how do I actually walk in abiding in Jesus?

367

So I mean, that's when he is called the Comforter, the helper, and we are called to abide

in him.

368

How does that happen?

369

And so I feel like we're called to help them.

370

In fact, in uh John 15 and verse 16, he says, You have not chosen me, but I've chosen you.

371

that you would bring forth fruit and then the next phrase is and that your fruit would

abide would remain.

372

And so I feel like it is our responsibility when God gives us fruit when we see people

come to Christ.

373

Now I have the responsibility of teaching them how to abide in Christ and you know your

goal is eventually for that person to begin to influence and impact other people and bring

374

forth fruit.

375

I think

376

having Cody on a couple of weeks ago is a perfect example of that.

377

I've already heard of people from a Mormon background who have been listening to that

particular episode because what Cody is doing is now teaching other people.

378

And that's, that's really cool to be able to watch that happen by the relationship.

379

The relationship gave you the opportunity to spend the time and train.

380

And then now that he's been trained, he's going to be able to grow.

381

Amen.

382

Amen.

383

And he's growing leaps and bounds.

384

He's way further along in his walk with the Lord than I was that knew into the faith.

385

it's incredible.

386

mean, this is the real joy of what we get to do as Christians showing up in people's lives

and seeing this played out.

387

And God's promises are true.

388

We can take them to the bank.

389

That's for sure.

390

Well, yeah.

391

there are some things that are not, it's not going to happen accidentally.

392

So in other words, showing up, being present, that builds the platform.

393

But now I have to actually be specific.

394

These are the things that a person needs to know and we need to get them grounded into the

word of God.

395

So I think using a book like living the exchange and actually purposely grounding them in

truth is really important.

396

Yeah, amen, amen.

397

uh Well, I think that kind of sums it up, those four verbs right there, in building a

bridge of relationship, it's conversation, evangelism, assimilate them into your life, and

398

instruction, the four Greek words, laleo, evangelazo, parakaleo, and didasko.

399

And so, really, really wonderful when you can just pull these things right out of the

scripture, which is our authority, and God's given to us as our sword, and so,

400

We're really, really excited to see how God uses these to change the way you think about

relational evangelism and discipleship going forward in your life.

401

And please be praying with us as we pray to the Lord of the Harvest that He would send

forth laborers and that He'd help us to reach people.

402

The harvest is plenteous.

403

There's so much relationship opportunity out there.

404

And Jesus wants us to use our time urgently uh for this because time is short.

405

We just had a blog article posted last week to the Exchange Blog.

406

It says,

407

Time is running out and so uh we want to use every moment of our life to leverage it for

the sake of the gospel, the sake of the kingdom of Christ.

408
