"You don't have a Sunday service?" In this episode, we talk about the "red hot core" of our community, which is what we call Discipleship Core.  Listen in as Matt and Elisa share a bit more about this approach to spiritual growth, living in a missional community, and following Jesus for the sake of the world.The Everyday Spaces podcast is a production of The Jesus Following Network, a missional community in Big Lake, Minnesota devoted to community transformation and making disciples who learn to say, "Yes" to Jesus.

"Making disciples who say yes to Jesus." In this episode, we talk about how following Jesus doesn't have to be complicated. Each person has a story worth telling, and Jesus has been involved in that story from day one. Christianity isn't about following a set of rules; it's about connecting with Jesus in the moment. Listen in as Matt and Elisa share a bit more about this different way of thinking.

"What on earth are you guys doing?" In this episode, we explore what it looks like to be a faith community that exists outside the four walls of a church building. There are three core values that exist as the framework for what we do: being TRUE to Christ, being KIND to all people, and to GO with God's good news.  Listen in as Matt and Elisa reimagine a community for seekers and followers of Jesus. The Everyday Spaces podcast is a production of The Jesus Following Network, a missional community in Big Lake, Minnesota devoted to community transformation and making disciples who learn to say, "Yes" to Jesus.

"How do I love my neighbors?" In this episode, we explore what it can look like to love your neighbors and other people you see in your everyday spaces. Ditching programs and one-offs, Elisa challenges us to invest in the "hidden things" by praying for these people regularly.  The road to a missional life begins with, and is shaped by, an intentionality to pray.The Everyday Spaces podcast is a production of The Jesus Following Network, a missional community in Big Lake, Minnesota devoted to community transformation and making disciples who learn to say, "Yes" to Jesus.

In this episode, we look at what it looks like to be a faithful presence in the community. How has God become present to us, and how can we then create a "safe space" for others to inhabit?
