#77 - Be A Barnabas: Connecting People For The Sake of Christ.

In Acts, Barnabas does something simple but decisive: he brings Saul to the apostles. Before Paul becomes the missionary we know, someone was willing to stand beside him, believe in him, and connect him to the body of Christ. That quiet act of trust helped shape the advance of the gospel.

In this episode, George Binoka and Jeff Musgrave consider what it means to live like that in an ordinary church. Not networking for advantage. Not building relationships for leverage. But drawing near to people because we genuinely care—and then using those relationships to connect them to Jesus.

They talk about trust that takes time to build and seconds to lose. About the cost of hospitality and the power of simple presence. About generosity that is not financial strategy but kingdom investment. About remembering names, following up on burdens, refusing to give up on a John Mark when others are ready to move on. About resisting a culture—and even algorithms—that train us to live in curated isolation.

The call is clear: stop promoting yourself and start promoting others. Love God first. Love people second. Look around the room and ask why God has placed these particular people together. Then act intentionally. Introduce. Encourage. Invest. Pray.

Each episode aims to equip you with thoughtful perspectives and actionable ideas, making the core of the gospel feel accessible in your daily interactions. This isn’t about formulas, but about fostering a natural, confident faith that connects with people where they are. Tune in for a podcast that feels like a thoughtful dialogue with mentors who are invested in seeing your faith become both deeper and more outwardly focused.
