What story are you living in? In this episode, Trevin Wax joins me to explore how the church can root itself more deeply in the story of Scripture. We talk about The Gospel Way Catechism, the ancient practice of catechesis, and why discipleship is more than just memorizing truths - it's learning to walk in the way of Jesus. Along the way, Trevin shares why true freedom is found in submission to God, how cultural narratives like the American Dream can subtly reshape our faith, and why the global church is vital for our own spiritual health. This conversation invites us to reexamine the stories shaping us and to rediscover the flourishing life Jesus offers.Trevin Wax is vice president of research and resource development at the North American Mission Board and a visiting professor at Cedarville University. A former missionary to Romania, Trevin is a regular columnist at The Gospel Coalition and has lectured on Christianity and culture at Oxford University.

In this sermon, Pastor Devin explores the Christian principle of humility through Philippians 2:5-11. He emphasizes that humility is not natural to the human condition, which tends toward pride and self-focus. The pastor explains that Jesus exemplified perfect humility by emptying himself, taking the form of a servant, and submitting to death on a cross despite being fully God. This humility led to his exaltation by God.Humility is not natural to humans but is essential for Christians as it was exemplified by Jesus throughout His life and death.True humility begins in the heart as an inner disposition, not just outward actions or a soft exterior.Jesus, though fully God, emptied Himself by taking the form of a servant and submitting to death on a cross.In God's upside-down kingdom, the way up is down - those who humble themselves will be exalted by God at the proper time.Humility requires actively crucifying pride and recognizing that everything we have comes from God.Support the show

The Karate Kid movies and shows have resonated with people for more than four decades. One aspect that draws us to watching them is the desire we all have for a mentor or a student. Jesus was the ultimate Myagi, teaching and training his disciples throughout his ministry. Before departing, he told us that we too should make disciples of all nations. Mark 6:7-13. After Jesus had spent a little time with his disciples, he instructed them and sent them out. They were to do the same sorts of things that Jesus himself was doing. Mark 6:30-44. Upon returning from their missionary trip, the twelve reported back to Jesus what happened with great excitement. Jesus continued to challenge and train them. When a crowd of 5,000 men were hungry, he told them, “You give them something to eat.” Mark 9:33-37. Jesus taught them about humility. Rather than seeking to be the greatest, he told them to look to the example of a child. Luke 14:25-32. Jesus set the bar high for becoming a disciple. Although the call is open to anyone, only those who put him first can be true disciples. People should count the cost prior to following Jesus. Luke 6:40. The goal of Christian discipleship is to become like Christ. We aim to both follow his words and imitate his example. Matthew 10:24-25. As they ridiculed and called Jesus names, so they will do to you if you genuinely follow him. John 8:31-32. Disciples don't just believe in Jesus, they also continue in his words, living out his teachings. John 13:35. The most important indicator of authentic discipleship is if we love each other. See also John 15:8-10.The post Film Series 1: Karate Kid and Christian Discipleship first appeared on Living Hope.

In a culture obsessed with self-optimization and curated spirituality, Joshua S. Porter offers a counterintuitive call: come and die. In this episode, James Spencer sits down with the punk-rocker-turned-pastor to discuss Porter’s new book, How to Die: Chaos, Morality, and the Scandal of Christian Discipleship. Together, they unpack what it means to reject a domesticated God, embrace an untamable Savior, and walk a path shaped not by personal branding but by the cross. Drawing from Flannery O’Connor, Bonhoeffer, monastic writings, and gritty pastoral experience, this conversation invites listeners into a disruptive, deeply human, and refreshingly orthodox vision of Christian faithfulness. Whether you’re deconstructing, reconstructing, or just trying to figure out what dying to self actually looks like, this is a must-listen.

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gilmore sits down with BCM senior Ben Stoeckmann to reflect on his seven-week internship in Grenada. From curvy mountain roads to palm-lined beaches, Ben's journey was filled with gospel opportunities—three Cola Clash–style youth outreaches, preaching in multiple communities, and connecting with local believers. Yet, the greatest lesson came not from the events themselves, but from what followed: the urgent need to pray for and invest in disciples, not just decisions. Through firsthand experiences and the example of national pastor Jeremy Scott, Ben shares how intentional, life-on-life ministry can break strongholds and multiply lasting fruit.Topics DiscussedLocation, culture, and spiritual climate of GrenadaInternship under national pastor Jeremy ScottThree Cola Clash–style youth outreaches in Victoria, Chantimelle, and Mount RichOvercoming challenges of rainy season and cultural differencesSpiritual strongholds: works-based religion, drinking, immorality, and subtle animismMiraculous connections with young men hungry for God's WordThe importance of praying for disciples as fervently as for salvation decisionsPastor Scott's “life-on-life” discipleship modelApplying disciplemaking principles both overseas and in the U.S.Ben's personal call to missions and growing burden for the Hispanic worldKey TakeawaysSalvation decisions are only the starting point; true Great Commission work requires making disciples.Prayer for discipleship should be just as urgent and intentional as prayer for conversions.Life-on-life investment—sharing ministry and everyday moments—is essential for spiritual growth.Cultural openness to the gospel does not eliminate the need to address deep-rooted spiritual strongholds.The principles of effective disciplemaking overseas are just as vital to practice at home.If you have your own unique story of gospel advance or if you sense God leading you toward a particular people group, we'd love to hear about it.

This sermon from First Peter Chapter 2 explores what it means to be part of God's royal priesthood as Christians living in a post-Christian society. Pastor emphasizes that believers are called to live set apart in the world to reveal the One who set them apart. Just as the early Christians faced persecution under Emperor Nero, today's believers must maintain their distinct identity while conducting themselves honorably, even toward authorities they may disagree with. The sermon highlights Jesus as the cornerstone of our faith and explains how Christians are living stones being built into a spiritual house.The pastor mentioned that 'our mouth reveals our heart.' How have you seen this play out in your own life or in the lives of others?In verse 2, Peter compares our need for God's Word to a newborn's need for milk. How would you describe your current hunger for Scripture? What practical steps could you take to develop a deeper desire for God's Word?What does it mean that Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith? What happens when we build our lives on other foundations?The sermon emphasized that we are 'living stones' being built into a spiritual house. How does this metaphor change how you view your role in the church?Peter calls believers to 'honor everyone' and even to honor authorities we might disagree with. Why is this so challenging, and how can we practice this in today's polarized society?What does it mean to be part of a 'royal priesthood'? How should this identity affect our daily lives outside the church walls?The pastor stated that 'any gospel that does not require submission to Christ and the denial of our flesh is a false gospel.'

Drawing from their work in neuroscience, pastoral care, and discipleship, they unpack how our early relational patterns shape the way we experience God and how we can begin to heal. We explore the four “landscapes of the soul” (the pasture, jungle, desert, and war zone), how spiritual practices like silence, Bible study, and joy impact us differently depending on where we're starting from, and how to integrate intimacy and obedience in a holistic journey with God. This episode invites us to move beyond a one-size-fits-all model of discipleship and embrace a more embodied, relational, and compassionate approach to following Jesus.Geoff Holsclaw (PhD) is cohost of the Embodied Faith podcast, which seeks a neuroscience-informed spiritual formation.

The Parable of the Shrewd Manager – What Was Jesus Thinking?At first glance, Luke 16:1–13 is one of Jesus' most confusing parables. A dishonest manager gets fired, cuts deals behind his boss's back, and is praised for it. Then Jesus says, “Be like that guy.” What does this mean?In this sermon, Pastor Mark explores how Jesus isn't celebrating dishonesty but calling his followers to be wise, strategic, and generous. In a world driven by wealth, disciples are called to be spiritually savvy—using what we have to invest in what matters most.Learn how faithful stewardship, intentional living, and bold generosity can reflect God's kingdom in a world that often gets it wrong.

Many struggle with the Bible not because it's irrelevant, but because we've never been given the full story. My guest today, Zach Windahl, went from confusion and disillusionment to falling in love with Scripture and now he's helping others do the same. In this conversation, we trace Zach's journey of rediscovery, unpack the sweeping narrative of the Bible, and explore how reclaiming the story of God roots us in a better way to live. We talk about why understanding context matters, how the Bible invites us into a kingdom worldview, and what it means to live under the reign of King Jesus in the everyday. Zach doesn't just teach the Bible, he's passionate about helping people actually see it, engage with it, and let it shape their lives. So join us as we lay at a roadmap to the beauty and power of the story of the Bible. Zach Windahl is an author and content creator focused on helping his audience grow in their faith. He is the founder and former CEO of The Brand Sunday, a company that creates tools and resources to hold your hand as you read through the Bible for yourself. Marrying his passion for entrepreneurship and making faith simple and attainable has landed Zach in a unique place in the Christian landscape, where he reaches hundreds of thousands of followers on social media every day.

What is authentic Christianity, and am I an authentic Christian? That might sound like the start of a guilt trip, but it's not. Christianity is meant to be a way of living with Christ (it was literally called "The Way" by early believers!). This way is not just for a "super spiritual" few, it's not an end to fun and freedom, and it's not a theological quiz. In the "After + Math" in Acts 4, we're given three ways normal people live out authentic Christianity. So, if you're normal (or not!), this is for you. First time listening to our podcast?
