Podcasts about discipleship

What's really showing up in your child's classroom? In this episode, I sit down with Gary VanRiper—author of The Adirondack Kids book series—to talk about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) messages woven into modern elementary school books and curriculum. As a parent, you must be informed and involved. Gary brings insight not only as a writer but also as someone who deeply cares about truth and shaping the next generation. We talk about the importance of wholesome stories, how to spot red flags in what your kids are reading, and why it's critical that parents and grandparents take responsibility for discipleship—starting in the home. This is an eye-opening episode for anyone who wants to raise kids with discernment in a culture pushing confusing and harmful ideologies. Don't miss it.

“If you explain these things to the brothers and sisters, Timothy, you will be a worthy servant of Christ Jesus, one who is nourished by the message of faith and the good teaching you have followed.” (1 Timothy 4:6 NLT) Somewhere along the line, we have separated evangelism from discipleship. But there is no such distinction in Scripture. The idea of the Great Commission is not just to pray with someone to receive Christ and then say, “See you later. God bless you.” That would be like a mother who gives birth to her baby and then says, “God bless you, my child. It’s a rough world out there, but here’s a box of Pampers. Now get going.” A little baby needs to be nurtured and coddled and cared for and loved and taught. A new believer requires the same. As believers, our objective, our vision, and our mission is to make fellow disciples. That means working to help new Christians get on their feet spiritually, acclimate to the church, and learn what it means to be a Christian. Only then are we truly fulfilling the Great Commission. Look at the apostle Paul’s words to Timothy, a young spiritual leader: “If you explain these things to the brothers and sisters, Timothy, you will be a worthy servant of Christ Jesus, one who is nourished by the message of faith and the good teaching you have followed” (1 Timothy 4:6 NLT). Timothy had been nurtured, physically and spiritually, by a godly mother and a godly grandmother. They had instilled in him a strong faith. And that’s what Paul wanted Timothy to do for others: nurture and instill a strong faith. That’s what all believers are called to do. You’ll notice in Paul’s words that this nurturing and instilling begins with three simple words: “Explain these things.” The truths of Scripture aren’t always intuitive or self-evident because they call for us to resist our natural inclinations—the impulses of the person we used to be—and do things that seem completely out of character. Love your enemies? Forgive those who do you harm? Put other people’s needs before your own? Take up your cross? If you don’t have questions and concerns about the Christian life as a new believer, you’re not paying attention. Believers who aren’t new to the faith can fulfill the Great Commission by addressing their questions and concerns. The apostle Peter said, “If someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it” (1 Peter 3:15 NLT). We can make ourselves ready by studying God’s Word purposefully and faithfully, asking and answering our own tough questions, by spending quality time in prayer—talking and listening to our heavenly Father, deepening our relationship with Him—and by spending time in fellowship with other believers, sharing experiences, encouraging one another, and holding one another accountable. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend” (NLT). The more time we spend honing our own spiritual edges, the better prepared we’ll be to sharpen new believers into disciples. Reflection question: How can you equip yourself to mentor new believers?

What exactly is spiritual formation? Is it similar or different than discipleship? And who is having this conversation about spiritual formation anyway?In this episode of the Attaching to God podcast, hosted by Geoff Holsclaw and produced by Embodied Faith, the focus is on spiritual formation—what it is, how it compares to discipleship, and its future. Dr. Strobel shares his journey into this field, discusses the historical background of spiritual formation within evangelicalism, and explains the importance of integrating theological depth into spiritual practices. Concerns about the potential pitfalls of spiritual formation becoming a mere self-help concept and the need for ecclesial context and communal life are highlighted.Dr. Kyle Strobel is the director of the Institute for Spiritual Formation and is associate professor of spiritual theology at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, who writes and teaches in the area of spiritual formation. He is most recently the co-author of the book, Where Prayer Becomes Real: How Honesty with God Transforms Your Soul.Be sure to follow his writing on his Substack. Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.

Andrew and Sara Knight join us today from Idaho where they work with Campus Outreach at Boise State, known for its infamous blue football field. They are passionate about pouring into college students, a ministry they've spent the past 20 years investing into. They have 4 kids and are originally from Atlanta, Georgia. Sara and I actually first met as freshman in our sorority at the University of Georgia, over half of our lifetimes ago, and I can't wait for you to hear their insight on practical discipleship, the art of sharing our faith, and the incredible hunger for Christ they're seeing in the up and coming generation. Today we pick up with Andrew telling his own story and why they have spent their lives being intentionally engaged on college campuses.Campus Outreach started in Birmingham, AL in the late 70s when a local church wanted to have an expression of itself on a college campus. Since then, it has grown into an international ministry dedicated to helping university students follow Christ into lives of service and leadership. If you'd like to specifically engage with Campus Outreach in Boise, head to tablerock.church/college-ministry, where you can read more and make a donation to this incredible work. Social media handle: @coboise, @saralknight Link to give: https://www.tablerock.church/college-ministryShow Notes/Quotes:“The Lord impacted my life in such a deep way, I thought, I would like to be the same for someone else.”“Somewhere around 85% of students coming into college, if they have a faith, 85% are going to leave their faith between the ages of 18 and 24. And if they don't have a faith, they're going to make their faith decision by the age of 24.”“I read the Bible with people who don't go to church. And he looks up and he says - ‘You know what? I've wanted to read the Bible my entire life. And I've never had anyone to read it with.'”“I think the fact that the world is broken is very clear to everyone.” “We so much talk about both evangelism and discipleship, and we just feel like you can't have one without the other. As you're building relationships with people, you're discipling them to hear Jesus and have open ears so that they can know him.” “Evangelism is a natural part of discipleship and discipleship is a natural part of evangelism, and it's so relational.”“When I think about how I would disciple someone, I just want to do my relationship with God, I want to do Christianity with someone else. I don't just memorize a verse alone, I'm going to do it with someone else. I'm not just going to pray alone, I'm going to do it with someone else. I'm not just going to study my Bible alone, I'm going to do it with someone else…I'm going to invite them into my life.” “I think maybe the hardest thing is that ministry is mainly time, it just is. I know for myself I'm a selfish person, and so I have to die to myself to give others my time.” Verses:1 Thessalonians 2:8 1 Corinthians 3:11

Matt Black: The Road to House of DavidCedarville University junior Matt Black is living proof that storytelling — when fueled by faith and purpose — can open extraordinary doors. A broadcasting, digital media, and journalism major, Matt is the founder of Matt Black Media and a rising force in performance photography. But his latest endeavor has taken him from concert stages to biblical epic: he's joined the Wonder Project team for House of David, a dramatic series created by Jon Erwin (Jesus Revolution) and now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.Matt brings more than technical skill to the set — he brings heart. His journey started in 2018 at Word of Life camps in New York, where his camera and his calling first intersected. That passion deepened during his internship with Word of Life Fellowship after high school, where he saw how visual storytelling could serve ministry.Since enrolling at Cedarville, his impact has only grown. In 2023, a spontaneous “yes” to photograph Winter Jam in Tampa, Florida, became a defining moment. Since then, Matt has worked with artists like Crowder, Lecrae, Danny Gokey, and For King and Country. His content has reached thousands through social media and promotional campaigns — each image a message of hope.Now, as part of House of David, Matt helps bring Scripture to life on screen, using his visual gifts to illuminate truth for a global audience. On the Cedarville Stories podcast, he urges young creatives to “embrace opportunities and say yes.” Clearly, he's done exactly that.https://share.transistor.fm/s/4684384fhttps://youtu.be/SPH4Ceh9aIY

Our worldview shapes what we think, how we live, and the kind of culture we create. So when our communities bear bitter fruit—poverty, corruption, injustice—we need to look at the roots below the surface. In this episode, we explore how worldviews are formed, how they shape entire societies, and why true transformation comes from working at this level. Too often, Christian mission stops at conversion and overlooks the need for deep worldview discipleship, leaving people with many unbiblical cultural assumptions. Lasting change comes when our minds are renewed, leading to flourishing not only in our lives, but also in our families and nations as we live into God's design.Main Topics:What Is a Worldview? – How it forms and why it mattersIdeas Flow Downstream – From philosophers to principles to lifestylesRooted in Truth – How biblical worldview transforms hearts and societiesIt starts with us. We must intentionally think and act differently than the world, based on the reality of God's Kingdom. Core Video: Why Does Your Worldview Matter?Our Strategy at DNAView the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!

This is the one where we talk about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. It's the one where Nate has no hot water, where we talk about the function of the church. Ultimately it's the one where we talk about death and resurrection!

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally explore Isaiah 8:11–22, a powerful passage calling God's people to resist fear and trust wholly in the Lord. In a time of national panic and looming invasion, Isaiah is instructed not to think like the fearful crowd but to honor the Lord as holy and sovereign. Curtis and Sally reflect on the relevance of this message today, urging listeners to reject fear-driven mindsets and instead embrace faith, reverence, and obedience. The conversation highlights the danger of seeking guidance from the dead, the spiritually dead, worldly sources and the importance of clinging to God's word in times of darkness. Even as Isaiah foretells stumbling and judgment, there is a promise shining through: the hope of the coming Messiah. Jesus, the light of the world, calls us out of darkness and into life. Join us as we discuss the challenge of keeping God holy in our lives, trusting Him above all else, and living with confident hope in His promises.

We admitted that the self we identified with was a survival adaptation—an illusion curated by trauma, conditioning, egoic preservation, and social camouflage—and that continuing to defend it would ensure the continued betrayal of our true potential.

The Authority of the believer is thought of as a recent idea in Christian circles, but have you heard of John A McMillan? He was born in 1873 and was a Canadian Presbyterian businessman who walked in the Authority of the Believer. What if you had been given authority from God but never walked in it? Instead of complaining about our problems, if we want results like Jesus, we might want to do it the way Jesus did. Speak to your mountain. Not everything we experience in this life is God's will. Ask yourself, are you asking God to do things for you when He has already given the authority to pull those things down from heaven?

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit Sermon Title: Die to Self, Live for Christ: Following Jesus in Luke 9 YouTube & SoundCloud Search Description (4,500 characters): In this powerful and deeply challenging sermon, Pastor Benjer leads us through Luke 9:1–27—a rich and intense section of Scripture that confronts every follower of Jesus with a fundamental question: What kind of life am I living—and what kind of death am I choosing? At the heart of this message is the call to discipleship—not just belief, not just admiration, but wholehearted following of Jesus. Through the example of the twelve disciples, the miraculous feeding of the 5,000, and Jesus' own foreshadowing of the cross, we're shown what it truly means to be a disciple: to learn from Jesus, walk in His footsteps, and embrace a life that is often uncomfortable, messy, and costly—but ultimately full of abundance and eternal purpose. Jesus begins by sending His disciples out with power and authority to proclaim the Kingdom, heal the sick, and cast out demons. And they do it. Ordinary men, empowered by Christ, stepping into extraordinary mission. But when they return and face the challenge of feeding the multitudes, they falter. They forget what they've just seen and done. They forget that Jesus is enough. And so do we. Discipleship, Pastor Benjer reminds us, is not a perfect upward trajectory. It's not about spiritual heroism or flawless devotion. It's a bumpy journey. It's full of grace and learning. And above all, it's a daily dying—dying to comfort, dying to small dreams, dying to our preferences and our endless yeses to self. Jesus makes it plain in Luke 9:23: “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” That's the call. That's the cost. And that's the invitation into the abundant life Jesus promises—not abundant in stuff, ease, or worldly success, but rich in meaning, rooted in purpose, and shaped by selfless love. Benjer doesn't hold back from applying this to everyday life: our marriages, our parenting, our ambitions, our finances, even our weekend plans. He shares honestly from his own experience as a father of children with disabilities, reflecting on what it means to dream big in God's kingdom—not in worldly achievement, but in faithfully following Christ and helping others do the same. This sermon is a wake-up call. In a world that tells us to chase comfort and say yes to every craving, Jesus speaks a better word: Say yes to me. Pastor Benjer challenges the cultural lie that Christianity is just about self-improvement or believing the right things. Jesus doesn't call us to be better versions of ourselves—He calls us to be new. And that newness comes through surrender. If you're someone who has followed Jesus but finds yourself weary, discouraged, or feeling like you've failed too many times, this sermon is for you. If you're exploring faith and wondering what Jesus really expects, this sermon is for you. And if you're a committed disciple who needs a fresh reminder that the way of Christ is both cross and resurrection, this message will stir your heart. At Flourishing Grace Church, we're not trying to create a culture of superficial faith. We're learning to die well—to die to our own way so that we might live in the fullness of Jesus' way. This message will help you take your next step, whatever that may be. Stick around until the end as Pastor Benjer invites us into prayer and response. Maybe you've held back a part of your heart, your time, your dreams. Maybe God is gently poking at something you know you need to surrender. Don't ignore it. Lean in. Say yes. And remember: when you say no to yourself, you're not saying no to joy—you're saying yes to Jesus, the only source of true life. Listen, reflect, and let this teaching sink deep into your soul.

Josh kicks things off by noting that listeners had asked for this topic, and he's eager to unpack it. They trace the major revival movements in American history, starting with the First Great Awakening around 300 years ago, led by Jonathan Edwards. They walk through the Second Great Awakening with Charles Finney and his intercessor Nash, and the revivals led by D.L. Moody and Billy Graham, all of which were marked by repentance and spiritual renewal. They land on the 1970s Jesus Revolution, which they say might be the last nationwide revival—exactly 50 years ago. Josh and Jason suggest this 50-year pattern may signal another wave is coming. While not predicting anything specific, they urge listeners to stay spiritually alert and ready. They share powerful stories, like two elderly sisters who prayed revival into their community during the Hebrides Revival—where even ships passing by felt the weight of God's presence. Jason emphasizes the need to be structurally and spiritually prepared for revival, drawing from Jesus' teaching about counting the cost before building. Both hosts agree: revival won't come without prayer, repentance, fasting, and a willingness to sacrifice. They also stress that revival must lead to disciple-making—not just emotional experiences, but long-term transformation. True revival, they argue, involves everyone, not just a few leaders. The episode ends with a challenge: join the growing movement of prayer and fasting through Discipleship.org and prepare your heart and community for what God might do next.

What if the church was known not for power or pride, but for a radical humility that welcomes the lowly, confronts our own sin, and pursues the lost with the heart of Jesus?

Jesus is building His church—but what do we do when there's no more room? We take our cues from four desperate friends: we tear the roof off. This week is a call to radical faith and sacrificial mission, to do whatever it takes to get people to Jesus.

In this episode of At Risk Radio, hosts Mark Stafford and David Witt chat with Dan Russell, a Las Vegas men's ministry leader with a powerful story of transformation and global impact. Dan opens up about his journey from a challenging season of personal crisis to wholehearted faith, describing how a simple email from an Indian pastor sparked a life-changing connection with the Persecuted Church in India. Dan also shares how the Lord worked a miracle in his son's life during a time of rebellion, bringing him to restoration with God—a work accomplished when a pastor and his congregation in India prayed all night in response to Dan's urgent request.    The conversation explores practical lessons in Christian leadership, the power of unity among believers, and how men's ministry can make a difference both locally and globally. Perfect for listeners interested in church leadership, discipleship, missions, and stories of faith under pressure, this episode underscores the ripple effect of following God's call—even in “Sin City.” Explore what it means to be truly at risk for your faith and be inspired to see how God can use ordinary people to do extraordinary things.   Learn more about Spirit of Martyrdom International and give to Global Impact Projects at spiritofmartyrdom.com.
