Deacon Doug Johnson’s core message centers on the idea that faith should be an active, infectious force driven by personal encounter and authentic action.

Rather than treating faith as a passive routine or purely personal belief, we are challenged to consider what our lives are spreading to the world around us.

“Make a friend, be a friend, bring a friend to Jesus.”

Faith is meant to move through authentic relationships and everyday encounters.

Core Pillars of the Message

Asking “What Are You Contagious With?”

Encountering Jesus transforms a person, leaving them with a faith that naturally influences others. We are invited to consider whether we are spreading hope, joy, love, peace, and the Holy Spirit-or fear, indifference, and negativity.

Living as “Missionary Disciples”

Faith spreads naturally from person to person through authentic relationships. The practical model is simple: “Make a friend, be a friend, bring a friend to Jesus.”

Sharing Your “BC and AC” Story

Being contagious requires sharing your personal testimony-what life was like Before Christ (BC) and how it has been transformed After Christ (AC). Authenticity and obedient living are powerful ways to ignite faith in others.

Driving Out Negativity with Divine Love

Drawing inspiration from scripture and figures like Martin Luther King Jr., this message reminds us that darkness and hate are not defeated by force, but by actively pouring out God’s love, grace, and compassion.

Daily Surrender

True faith is not a one-time decision; it is a daily walk of emptying oneself, releasing personal agendas, and allowing the Holy Spirit to continuously empower one’s life.
