The Reverend Greg Pickens, Associate for Pastoral Care at Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, leads today's Discipleship meditation. Daily Office readings for today: Matthew 7:1-12 Music By Justin Brooks

https://www.bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.13-14.NASB1995for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.Someone just claimed that a) this is the only verse that explicitly talks about "being led by the Spirit" and b) it is focused primarily on "holiness" rather than "guidance."This would be a significant shift from how I've thought about being Spirit-led. I'm curious whether it matches your understanding or experience!What if… being led by the Spirit is a good practice, but bad theology, because it takes our focus away from obeying Christ's commands?

We are all liars and we are good at it. So, it's not a matter of whether or not we will lie. The question to ask ourselves is: what are we going to do when God's truth confronts our lies?

On Sunday, we listen in as Jesus says to his disciples, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”(John 13:34-35) Discipleship is the name we give to the process of our becoming, of how, in spending time with Christ we become more like Christ and reflect Christ's will and way in the world. As Eugene Peterson points out, “Christian discipleship is a decision to walk in Christ's way, steadily and firmly, and then finding that Christ's way integrates all our interests, passions, and gifts, our human needs and eternal aspirations. Discipleship involves our coming to see more clearly the way of life for which we were created, and that way is love. Indeed, the world will know that we belong to Christ by how we love.

Trusting the One Who Holds the Future  Classes at 3 a.m. Worshipping with chapel from behind a computer screen halfway around the planet. A worldwide pandemic delaying her Cedarville experience for a year. Charis Chen has persevered through a number of trials to pursue her degree in psychology.  Charis, a junior from Malaysia, was set to begin classes at Cedarville in fall 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to adjust her plan. While taking classes online at strange times of the day – Malaysia is 12 hours ahead of eastern standard time – she found ways to stay engaged while battling sleepiness and fatigue.   Even online, she was able to connect with fellow students over text messaging and communicated with her professors about slide shows that were hard to read or class discussions that were difficult to hear. Through the difficulties, Charis never wavered in her belief that God wanted her to study psychology at a school that prioritized the Gospel and the Word of God. She knew that helping people emotionally and mentally had to be anchored in the Good News of God's saving work through Christ.   Now she is engaged in a research project on the topic of grief related to the sudden and unexpected passing of her advisor and professor, Dr. Michael Firmin, who went to be with the Lord on October 27, 2020. Charis' psychology instructor in Malaysia was taught by Dr. Firmin, and she credits his influence as a significant factor for her pursuing a degree at Cedarville.   “God is a good God who holds the best of reality in His hands,” Charis shares during the podcast. “Even over the rest of my life before Cedarville, I saw how He arranges things in ways I wouldn't have planned, and they turned out great. I know that wherever He puts me, He has a purpose for it.   “I started watching the chapel livestream the week before everyone was sent home. Around that time, Dr. White started repeating this phrase in chapel every day, “God is faithful; you can trust Him.” That was a big part of what I held onto.” ………. Dr. Michael Firmin was featured on the Cedarville Stories podcast in 2020.

Discipleship is about more than a checklist in the back of a book. Passing on what a Christian needs to know to engage in the kingdom probably doesn't end after 12 weeks. It is going to take living some life together.

In this episode, we discuss "Sunday School, Sunday Evening Worship, and Discipleship with Steve Meister." Steve makes a case for how Sunday Evening worship is one of the best ways to keep the Lord's Day holy. He also talks about how useful Sunday School can be, although it is not commanded in Scripture.  We hope this episode will encourage you to consider avenues to best disciple Christians in your churches!

One way we see the love of Jesus is in how he interacted with people from all segments of society. He talked with them. He listened to them. He asked them questions. He taught them. Our human tendency is to be comfortable only with people from our social circles, those we would happily already call our friends. Perhaps this is why “talk to people” is something we need to, well, talk about in church! Don't worry though, this isn't just for those who we might call “extroverts” – people who might have a natural gift in talking to people. We'll explore how this is for “introverts” too – people who might have a natural gift for listening. So we'll learn from each other and from our Savior how listening and talking are important skills for every disciple of Jesus. Why? Because “faith comes from hearing the message” (Romans 10:17). And if our eyes are open for opportunities and we're showing love to people by doing good, then we should be prepared. To do what? To talk to people! “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15). Support the show

Our guest, Steven Ackley, challenges parents and the church to avoid outsourcing discipleship and embrace a collaborative discipleship model between parents, church leadership, and across all generations. 

Could Everyone in Your Church Become a Digital Missionary? What if your Physical-, Digital-, or Metaverse- Church used Digital as the training ground to release Digital Missionaries? What if we utilized the strength of digital to train, activate and release people to reach their circle of influence physically, digitally, or even in the Metaverse? Maybe, just maybe, digital can provide the spiritual purpose that many churches are missing beyond the content-driven Sunday mornings, and help us move from a knowledge-based Discipleship format to an obedience-based Discipleship framework. As aggressive as everyone in your church becoming a digital missionary is, maybe we're not that far off. Enter Jon Ferguson into the conversation. Jon, and his brother Dave Ferguson, developed a framework called BLESS to help empower and activate people in physical space. What if that framework works digitally? Jon Ferguson & Jeff Reed Talk BLESS, Figuring Out How to Apply The Framework to Digital- and Metaverse- Spaces. So let's learn more about Dave & Jon's BLESS Practices. Let's hypothesize more about how to make BLESS the foundational piece of Digital Missionaries, and maybe (just maybe) we'll help some churches find some opportunities along the way.

Before moving to LA, Rian served as communications director and video producer at Vineyard Community Church in Overland Park, KS while also documenting moments and producing videos for various ministries of Vineyard USA.
