HELPFUL RESOURCES
Here are some resources we’ve found helpful in developing gospel fluency within our home and church.
Special credit to our dear friend Jeff Vanderstelt of Saturate The World for his teaching, books, and lived example. Also, thank you to the SOMA Family of Churches for being one part of the Body of Christ where we have seen discipleship really take place as the gospel takes root.

Gospel Fluency
flu·en·cy / noun
:the ability to speak a language easily and effectively
Even if they want to, many Christians find it hard to talk to others about Jesus. Is it possible this difficulty is because we’re trying to speak a language we haven’t actually spent time practicing?
To become fluent in a new language, you must immerse yourself in it until you actually start to think about life through it. Becoming fluent in the gospel happens the same way―after believing it, we have to intentionally rehearse it (to ourselves and to others) and immerse ourselves in its truths. Only then will we start to see how everything in our lives, from the mundane to the magnificent, is transformed by the hope of the gospel.
