\nAbout 80% of your neighbors are receptive to an invitation to church. At best, most churchgoers invite someone once or twice a year. Almost a third of churchgoers never invite anyone.

Thom and Sam discuss their thoughts on this week's episode.

\n \t* One Year Bibles are designed to help readers engage with the entire Bible in 365 days. Whether you\u2019re well versed in the Bible or just beginning your exploration, these Bibles help guide you through a year-long journey of exploration, reflection, and growth.
\n \t* One Year Bibles are great resources to help pastors encourage their community to be in the Word every day, but they also can help you come together in God\u2019s Word as a community of believers. If you are reading through the same passages you can interact with each other and grow relationships as you read Scripture. It creates a sense of unity, a common goal you are working toward together.
\n \t* One Year Bibles are perfect for small groups, Bible studies, Sunday School classes, and other connection points
