How to Turn Your Ordinary Life Into Your Mission Field (The Wild Invitation Study Ep. 7)
For The GirlShow Notes
We’ve made it to the final week of our Bible study through The Wild Invitation, and wow — what a ride through the book of Acts! This week, we’re reflecting on how the early church’s boldness and reliance on the Holy Spirit weren’t just for then — they’re for us today, too. We talk about living as modern-day witnesses of Jesus, navigating seasons of quiet obedience, and how to follow the Spirit’s lead in our everyday lives (even if that means striking up a convo at a pizza shop).
We also open up about feeling inspired and overwhelmed — how sometimes the mission feels big when we’re weary or in a harder season. But Acts reminds us: God uses the ordinary. The story’s not over. We’re invited in. It’s not just their story — it’s ours too. Let’s say yes to this wild, bold, Spirit-led life.
