This talk was given by Lorna at St Jude's Church, Southsea on 6th July 2025. The reading was Acts 16:1–15. The talk explores a searching question: do we as Christians move towards those outside the church, or do we simply hope they will come to us? Using Acts 16 and Paul's journey with Timothy to Philippi, Lorna examines how mission and relationships are inseparable — and why the quality of our relationships within the church directly shapes how others perceive the Christian faith. Drawing on the TV show Race Across the World as an analogy, Lorna traces Paul's recruitment of Timothy, the surprising decision to circumcise him to remove barriers, and the Spirit's redirection of their travel plans. She highlights how Paul's willingness to be flexible and obedient to the Holy Spirit led to the encounter with Lydia by the river — a meeting that would never have happened had Paul insisted on his own plans. Lydia's conversion and baptism, along with her entire household, stands as a powerful example of what happens when mission is relational, spirit-led, and willing to meet people where they are. Lorna challenges us to consider the barriers we might unknowingly place in front of others — including church language — and to ask not "God, bless what I'm doing" but "God, help me to notice where you are already moving."
