- puts disproportionate pressure on key roles

Jesus’s whole approach
• Connecting with people where they are–Connecting with those who come to us
• Staying with people where they are–Staying with those who come to us
• Meeting their needs where they are–Meeting the needs we tell them they have
• Proclaiming the kingdom where they are –Proclaim the kingdom where we are
