3. How are you partnering with gospel-advancing workers and what impact does their ministry have in the lives of those they serve and on your own heart?
4. Paul makes a claim that the gospel advanced not despite his suffering, but that his suffering is serving to advance the gospel, how does this affect your current thinking about the role of suffering in your life?

6. As a result of Paul’s boldness, there was a ripple effect to his gospel proclamation that impacted the household of Caesar (Philippians 4:22). Who are the unbelievers God has put in your life? If you were to share the gospel with them and God transformed their hearts, what could the ripple effect be and who would be the people that might be affected by that transformation? (Name people, by name)

Paul demonstrated confidence, boldness, and fearlessness to proclaim the gospel which had an impact on believers in his proximity that caused them to have confidence, boldness, and fearlessness to share the Word of God.
