Emerson begins this series by discussing the idea of "living above the bar" as Christians, embodying twelve qualities that even the secular world values and expects in believers. These virtues aren't just biblical ideals. They are traits that resonate deeply with both the religious and non-religious. When believers live out these values, they catch the attention of the world, potentially opening doors for discussions about faith in Christ. In Part 1 he discusses Emotional Intelligence (Keep Your Cool), Communication Skills (It’s Not What You Say, It’s How You Say It), and Integrity and Ethics (Honesty Is the Best Policy).

Questions to Consider

  1. How does your personal behavior either enhance or hinder your witness for Christ to those around you?
  2. Why do you think the world often holds Christians to a higher moral standard than it holds itself?
  3. What are some practical ways you can grow, especially when faced with challenges or adversity?
  4. How might your relationships with non-believers change if they saw more of these qualities reflected in your daily life?
