Our Senior Pastor, Clay Smith, and Executive Pastor of Disciplemaking, Adrian Coetzer, talk about the things we are doing as a church to create a disciplemaking culture.  We also discuss how our disciplemakers can contribute to the culture of our church as we grow.

Steve Allen has been working as a disciplemaker and church planter for the North American Mission Board in New York City for over 20 years.  In a city with incredible diversity and a busy pace of life, we discuss the importance of engaging others with curiosity and building bridges of trust into genuine relationships .

Andrew and Christy are sent ones serving in a difficult context, but they are using their gifts and passions to create meaningful relationships where the Gospel can be shared.  Where does God want you to go?  Our gifts, passions, and story (GPS) can help us understand where to go (concept from Find Your Place by Wegner & Phipps).

Once we are trained in disciplemaking methods, how do we contextualize that training to our real lives?  Larry McCrary and Bradley Bell discuss concepts from their book, Tradecraft, that can help disciplemakers live like a sent one where they live, work, learn, and play.

Disciplemaking is a long term endeavor so we have to be intentional about how we refill our own cup as we pour out that cup into the lives of others.  Abiding may be a foreign word or even a missing component in your life, but Bradley Bell from Upstream Collective discusses how vital abiding in Christ is for disciplemaking.

Lipok tells his story - from rebel to church planter!  God is moving in big ways in India, and Lipok describes what he has learned as a pioneering disciplemaker as the Holy Spirit moves in mighty ways in a dark place.

In our season finale, David discusses fears with Student Pastor Logan Grantham, and how we can “flip the switch” for making disciples.  They share their own fears and how their perspectives have changed over time.

In this quick 101 episode, we inspect the elements that need to be present consistently in order for your group to have a multiplying culture and for disciple makers to launch themselves successfully.

David interviews one of our partners living among an unreached people group. What does it look like to find a person of peace in that context? What does it look like to find a person of peace in our context? God is preparing persons of peace, and finding them is a vital step for a disciple maker.

How do we live out our sent identity and have warm connections with others? David interviews Ashley and Heather Holleman, who discuss their books "Sent" and "The Six Conversations." Sent has been a compelling resource for our disciple makers and was awarded Outreach Magazine's "Evangelism Resource of the Year" in 2021.

Clay Smith and David Anderson discuss what it looks like to get outside the walls of the church to fulfill the Great Commission, a massive change in how we talk about church and disciple making.

We continue to look at how to facilitate a meeting, specifically with the Look Forward time at end of each meeting. Brian Fox joins David Anderson to discuss how to “read the room” and finish every meeting strong. Since God is doing a specific work in the hearts of each person in our groups, we want to be leaders who help them follow Jesus one step of obedience at a time.

The 419 meeting uses a method called Discover Bible Study. It's a simple process that you can repeat over and over, and its reliance on God's Word makes it a powerful tool for disciple makers - in this episode, we discuss why it's so effective and what are some practical steps to using it.

Knowing someone's story is a huge step in forming a relationship and discipling someone. Just like God gave the story of the Bible to invite us into a relationship with Him, we use storytelling to invite others into a relationship with ourselves and especially a relationship with Jesus. In this 101 episode, David Anderson shares practical ways to be storytellers as a foundation for discipleship and evangelism.

To be effective disciple makers, we have to get behind the mask and establish real relationships characterized by safety, support, & purpose. Do the relational challenges of today's culture & the church affect discipleship? Adrian Coetzer, Erin Smith, and David Anderson dive into these relational issues and how to lead your group relationally. Robby Angle, CEO of Trueface, also provides additional guidance for building high-trust, relational groups.

The origin story of the 419 Movement! David Anderson, Lee Taylor, and Brian Fox pull back the curtain to share the early moments of this discipleship journey. Also joining us for a guest interview is pastor Clay Smith!
