The Bystander Effect Series

“The Bystander Effect” is a social dynamic that says the greater the number of bystanders, the less likely it is for any one of them to provide help to a person in need. Simply defined, a bystander is someone who is present but not participating. It’s easy to assume someone else will do it — step up, speak out, lend a hand. But what if God’s actually calling you? In this series, we’re flipping the script on passive faith and exploring what happens when everyday people choose to step up instead of stand by.  You weren’t made to sit on the sidelines — you were made to make a difference. There’s a place for you, and it starts now. “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.” 1 Peter 4:10 (NLT)
