The One Thing: Josh’s Story: From God-hater to Street Preacher
Growgroup Discussion Starters

Know
K1 What do you feel the Holy Spirit is saying to you through today’s teaching?

Grow
G1 In Cambodia, Josh was reading Psalm 46:10. He asked God for a sign and then later that day there was a plaque on the wall of the random hotel he ended up at in Cambodia with that verse on it. What does this story reveal about God’s nature?
G2 What did you think or feel about Josh’s salvation testimony?
G3 Josh said he “street preaches” because of scripture (Rom. 10:14), and because we are told to go (Matt. 28:19-20). What other reasons are there to share our faith?
G4 Josh discusses excuses we give not to talk about Jesus. In Exodus 4:10 and Jeremiah 1:6-7 what excuses do we read about? Are these legitimate? Why or why not?
G5 Josh shared the story of the guy burning the Satanist Bible and the guy whose Dad died while Josh was talking to him. Incredible or what? Are there similarly “hungry” people on our streets?
G6 Josh talks about feeling nervous the first time he preached on the street. We aren’t all street preachers, but what faith-act that you are being held back from doing by nerves or fear? Can faith even exist without fear / nerves?

S1 Josh said “For me it was impossible to ever come to love God”. Who do you know who is an impossible case? Knowing that God can reach the “Josh Wallis’” of this world, be encouraged to start (or continue) praying for them.
