Podcasts about Great Commission

In this thought-provoking episode, Cynthia Anderson and Tim Walker dive deep into the Parable of the Sower, uncovering its strategic relevance for today's Church. Tim, author of Sowing With Intent, challenges listeners to rethink how we measure success in ministry—moving beyond organizational growth to personal, relational multiplication. Together, they explore: How to identify gospel gaps and reach the least engaged. Why rapid addition isn't enough—and how to pursue rapid multiplication. The critical role of ordinary believers in fulfilling the Great Commission. The power of oikos—your natural relational network—in building authentic community. How Western independence and post-Covid isolation have created a unique opportunity for the Church to offer connection and unity. Practical ways to find Persons of Peace and build bridges into new relational spaces. A fresh framework for engaging the lost: See it, Seize it, Shape it.

A proper interpretation of the Bible is essential if we as believers are to be effective in sharing the Gospel of Grace. When Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission, He meant it in a broader sense of simply traveling to a physical location to spread the Word we have been given; He meant incorporating it into everything we do as part of our everyday lives. Reading the New Testament requires that we read it through the lens of the finished works of Jesus Christ; our faith should be based on the same thing. Jesus is what God believes about us; therefore, agreeing with Him elevates us from operating from faith in God to the faith of God, Himself.

Do you believe God wants to answer your prayers? In this message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann teaches the fourth step in the guaranteed breakthrough process: And it shall be done for YOU! Jesus said, “By this My Father is glorified.” God not only delights in giving good things to His children—but He calls us to ask in faith, and fulfilling the "ask" of those who abide in Him ultimately glorifies Him as well. If you're ready to see your prayers answered and your joy made full, this message will help you step into bold, faith-filled asking that glorifies the Father.  MORE...    « Abide In Me » Listen to the song featured in this message here: [Add link here] « Jesus Disciple » God is calling believers EVERYWHERE to be a part of fulfilling the Great Commission—making disciples around the world.

Revival begins with God awakening His people to the Great Commandment, and the Great Commission. Pastor Banning reminds us that discipleship isn't just for a few, it's something every believer is called to. True discipleship means walking with people, inviting God to work through our lives, and helping others become more like Jesus. Who are you investing in?

Does your pastor adequately prioritize missions at your church? In this episode of The Missions Podcast, Alex interviews Matthew Ellison and Denny Spitters from 1615 Missions Coaching about their new book, The Sending Shepherd: Leading Churches to Disciple All Nations. Drawing from a Barna study, the conversation centers on the vital role of church leadership in global missions. They argue that effective mobilization starts with senior pastors embracing a “sending shepherd” mindset—reintegrating God's global purpose into preaching, discipleship, and church culture rather than treating missions as an optional program. They encourage pastors to see missions not as one ministry among many, but as the core narrative of Scripture shaping every believer's role in God's redemptive story. The discussion closes with success stories of integrating missions into the church, practical encouragement for pastors, and a reminder that mobilizing for the Great Commission is both essential for the world and for the church's spiritual health. Key Topics Findings from the Barna “U.S. Pastors and Missions Survey” The problem of “when everything is missions, nothing is missions” Leadership's critical role in shaping global vision (Antioch model from Acts 13) The difference between marginalizing missions and integrating it into the church's DNA Importance of defining and distinguishing evangelism, outreach, and missions Do you love The Missions Podcast?

In this message, we'll look at the very first mission Jesus' disciples were sent out on, and the instructions He provided them before being sent out. In doing so, we'll consider five principles that help guide us today, as those being sent out through the Great Commission.   Scripture: Matthew 10:5-15

The Great Commission is found in Matthew 28:19-20, which says to, “Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Are we doing what God has asked of us?

Episode Summary: Paul taught Timothy that genuine Christian leaders are focused not on philosophical speculation or useless theological debate but upon being faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us. He instructed Timothy, Charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the STEWARDSHIP from God that is by faith. This term, stewardship, is a very rich word, with an enormous biblical theme behind it to describe our mission as Christ-followers. In fact, Jesus taught that it is being faithful stewards that leads to hearing “well done” from the Master. This episode provides a rich biblical overview of this concept and 5 ways to rule our lives for Jesus.For Further Prayerful Thought:Which aspects of being made in God's image most point to us being made to order every aspect of human life FOR the king, in your opinion? How would you support the idea that the Great Commission, “Go and make disciples of the nations,” is a renewal of Adam's original commission, “Be fruitful, fill the earth and subdue it?”How would you defend the idea that if our outer world is ever going to be ordered for God, the reason will be that we've become convinced that the inner world of the spiritual must govern the outer world of activity?Which of the 5 steps given to govern our outer world from the inner world do you most want to remember? For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

In this episode of the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we're tearing down the excuses that have turned the Great Commission into the Great Suggestion. Jesus gave His church one final command before ascending to heaven: Go and make disciples. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a marching order. Yet, for too long, we've treated it like optional fine print at the end of the Gospel. We pray for blessings but ignore our mission. We stay silent in the marketplace and then wonder why the world is collapsing into godless chaos.This episode is a direct confrontation with the disobedience that has crippled the modern church. We're calling out the fear, comfort, and apathy that have turned believers into spectators. The Great Commission isn't a task for pastors and missionaries—it's the deployment order for every single person who claims the name of Christ.The time for excuses is over. When the King of Kings gives a direct command, will you obey, or will you remain silent on the sidelines?Buckle up. This is a call to arms for the army of God."Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." – Matthew 28:19-20Episode Highlights:10:20 - Yet when the King of Kings gives a direct command, "go and make disciples of all nations," millions of Christians shrug their shoulders, smile politely, and carry on with life as usual. Let's call it what it is: disobedience. Not ignorance, not oversight, not 'I'm too busy.' Disobedience.18:44 - Silence doesn't just fail to stop evil, it enables evil. We've raised a generation that knows TikTok better than the Ten Commandments. We've replaced the pulpit with politics and discipleship with entertainment... We're supposed to be the conscience of the culture, the ones who speak when no one else will. But for too long, we've traded conviction for comfort.26:01 - Fear has paralyzed the modern church, and comfort has sedated it. In the West, we've built a version of Christianity that costs us nothing. A faith that fits neatly between brunch and bedtime. We want the blessings of the cross without the burden of carrying the cross.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our theme "Five Stunning Realities of the Gospel. Our scripture reference was Mark 6:42. We had a great discussion on how the Gospel is about provision, yet it's always about satisfaction. God wants us to be satisfied in the soul. We heard so many listener calls sharing the joy they have in God's provisions in their lives...and usually it's the simplest things. We spoke with Dr. David Nelms, the Founder of The Timothy Initiative (TTI). He shared that one of the most significant provisions of the Gospel is that we can love others and tell others about the Gospel. The Great Commission is great, but the Great Commandment to love others as God has loved us and tell them the Good News is even greater! Dr. Alex McFarland also joined us. He's a Christian apologist, author, evangelist, and culture analyst. He emphasized that the greatest satisfaction found in the Gospel is the cross! Every other provision and satisfaction comes from what happened on the cross. People can miss the blessings because they don't understand and culture is unstable. He offered 10 Questions Every Christian is asking or soon will be (to receive: text TEN to 1-800-555-7898). Also, his latest book is called "100 Bible Questions and Answers on Prophecy and the End Times". You can listen to the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

The speaker emphasizes the biblical and historical aspects of baptism, exploring how current practices and understandings may deviate from original texts. Through references to Greek terminology, early translations, and theological implications, the discussion sheds light on the necessity of immersion as the intended form of baptism.

What is worship really about? In heaven, all attention is fixed on one Person — "the Lamb who was slain" (Revelation 5:12). From Psalms to the Gospels to the Great Commission, Scripture reveals one unchanging truth: Christ is the central focus of all true worship. In this episode, we trace the thread of worship through key passages — from Psalm 2:12, to the disciples bowing in awe on stormy seas, to the worship of the risen and ascended Christ. Each moment reminds us that worship isn't about our emotions or experiences, but about acknowledging the infinite worth of Jesus Himself. Leaders and counselors alike are called to model this heavenly mindset on earth — keeping Christ at the center of every heart, home, and ministry. Let this episode draw you back to what truly matters: Christ alone, worthy of all honor and glory.

In this inspiring episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty sits down with author Kevin Russell to explore the transformative power of presence, creativity, and family connection. Russell's children's book "That's Not a Cupcake" isn't just a story – it's a testament to the magic that happens when parents slow down and truly engage with their children. The conversation dives deep into the art of mindful parenting, revealing how simple moments can become extraordinary memories. Russell shares his personal journey of creating the book with his daughter, highlighting the importance of being present and open to unexpected opportunities. He discusses how stepping back from stress and embracing curiosity can lead to incredible creative collaborations. Parents looking for practical advice will appreciate Russell's insights on nervous system regulation and managing daily stress. He offers simple techniques to help families create meaningful connections, emphasizing that parenting isn't about perfection, but about showing up and being authentic. The book's origin story is particularly touching – born from a Saturday morning joke between Russell and his young daughter, who is now the book's illustrator. It's a beautiful example of how family creativity can bloom when parents are truly present and supportive.       This episode also features a fascinating conversation with Jake Bull about his faith-based children's book "Everywhere and All the Time: The Reign of King Jesus," which is inspired by the Great Commission from Matthew 28. Bull, a Christian author and father of two young boys, explains how the book explores Jesus' authority over all aspects of life, from nature and families to work and play. Motivated by a desire to share the gospel message and inspired by their love of reading with their children, Bull and his wife created a book that uses storytelling to teach spiritual values. Drawing parallels to Jesus' own teaching style of using parables, Bull emphasizes the power of children's books in instilling important messages and virtues, highlighting the significance of making complex theological concepts accessible to young readers. The book aims to spread a message of hope, unity, and the transformative power of faith, reflecting the Bulls' own spiritual journey and their belief in sharing the good news of Christ with future generations.

In Part 3 of our series "The Kingdom of God" Roger Morris emphasizes the importance of recognizing and utilizing the authority given by Jesus Christ. He encourages believers to stop asking God for what He has already granted them the power to accomplish. By sharing personal stories and biblical references Such as Mark 9:35 and Matthew 10:7, Roger illustrates how believers, through Jesus' example, can use their authority to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and even raise the dead through faith and the Holy Spirit. He also cautions against religious traditions that hinder spiritual growth and advocates for an active, faith-driven life. The episode concludes with a heartfelt invitation to accept Jesus Christ and partner with the ministry.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Understanding Authority in Prayer 00:31 Introduction to Extraordinary Living 00:48 The Gospel of the Kingdom of God 01:08 The Great Commission and Authority 02:21 Personal Testimonies and Miracles 04:21 Challenges and Rejections in Ministry 12:33 Preaching the Gospel Despite Opposition 14:53 A Famous Horse Trainer's Story 15:57 The Power of Faith and Healing 19:58 Understanding the Great Commission 22:32 The Role of the Holy Spirit 27:05 Invitation to Accept Jesus 28:14 Conclusion and Contact Information   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Segment 1 • A major ecumenical event happened in the Sistine Chapel. • Meanwhile, thousands of churches are breaking from the UMC and the Anglican church. • This push toward unification looks spiritual but could blur gospel clarity. Segment 2 • The Great Commission isn't about church branding — it's about disciple-making. • Cultural trends like “ghosting your parents” reveal deep spiritual drift, especially in the home. • We must stay focused: carrying the gospel is the church's primary job. Segment 3 • New surveys show many Americans prefer to watch church online. • Spiritual formation is happening more through screens than through shepherds. • Your children are watching and learning from how you treat church. Segment 4 • Rogan is increasingly open about religion, but still misses key biblical categories. • There must be serious care brought to discussions about oral tradition. • Baptism and the Lord's Supper belong in the local church. ___ Thanks for listening!

What does baptism say about our freedom in Christ? Like Israel crossing the Red Sea, baptism pictures our deliverance from sin's power. We now walk free, no longer slaves, but alive in Christ.In this four-part series on the command “Baptize My Disciples,” we are invited to see baptism not as a symbolic obligation, but as a profound declaration of our union with Christ. Rooted in the authority and love of the risen Savior, baptism marks the believer's identity in Him, testifying that we have died to sin and been raised in newness of life. Through teaching, testimony, and Scripture, we are reminded that this command is both deeply spiritual and practically essential—anchored in Christ's power, pointing always to His glory, and flowing from a life of discipleship. Join Nate and Gabe as they explore Christ's command to “Baptize My Disciples.”Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Do you believe God wants to answer your prayers? In this message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann teaches the third step in the guaranteed breakthrough process: Ask What You Desire. Jesus said, “Whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” God delights in giving good things to His children—but He calls us to ask in faith, in alignment with His Word, and with hearts that abide in Him. If you're ready to see your prayers answered and your joy made full, this message will help you step into bold, faith-filled asking that glorifies the Father.  MORE...  « Abide In Me » Listen to the song featured in this message here: https://app.jesusdisciple.com/jesus-way/media-library/265« Jesus Disciple » God is calling believers EVERYWHERE to be a part of fulfilling the Great Commission—making disciples around the world.

How does the Nicene Creed unite believers from East and West? This episode of The Missions Podcast—in collaboration with Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship Church's Captivate & Conform podcast—features Dr. Don Fairbairn, a theologian and former missionary to Soviet Georgia. The conversation explores the intersection of missions, theology, and church history, particularly how the Nicene Creed and patristic theology offer transcultural insight for modern missiology. Dr. Fairbairn shares his journey from seminary to the mission field and how his time in Eastern Europe reshaped his academic focus on Eastern Orthodoxy and early church thought. He emphasizes that the early church's theology was already multilingual and multicultural, forged by African and Asian theologians rather than Europeans—a reminder that Christianity's foundations are inherently global. Fairbairn advocates for retrieving the transcultural truths of the Nicene Creed and a deeper understanding of the relational nature of salvation. Key Topics: The transcultural and multilingual origins of the Nicene Creed Differences between Eastern Orthodox and Western (Protestant) theology The concept of divine acceptance vs. human striving for God How patristic theology informs modern missiology The importance of understanding the Trinity in global missions Do you love The Missions Podcast?

In this special message from Everyday Mission, guest speaker Daniel Dixon unpacks why we multiply as followers of Jesus. From the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18–20, we're reminded that multiplication isn't just a church growth strategy—it's the heartbeat of God's mission. We multiply because the gospel is important, people are important, and God is important. When we grasp the weight of His authority and the beauty of His presence, we're compelled to share His love and make disciples everywhere.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

The vast majority of Christians we meet are blatantly disobedient to the Great Commission...they're not making disciples. Not many people know what this looks like or how to do it, and yet... When we bring our structured, tested plan for disciple-making to people, they often push back on us for this main reason. Honestly it doesn't make sense! But we think it has a lot to do with our western cultural mindset and we dive into that in this episode. We'll also give you a couple of practical ways to move into intentional, disciple-making relationships that multiply. In this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:41 The number one pushback we get to disciple-making 6:51 In violation of the great commission 13:29 The invitation 20:06 Shift in discipleship meaning 27:28 Get a disciple-making movement going ---

Matthew 28:16-20   This is a mission that we are to accomplish with God. It is our co-mission. So how do we accomplish this? GO MAKE DISCIPLES BAPTIZING THEM TEACHING THEM

Teachers have been missionaries throughout history! Learn today about Lottie Moon, a missionary who used education in bringing the Gospel to China. Lottie Moon: The Girl Who Reached the World by Amy Whitfield “We've always been open to if the Lord would send us overseas, we would go, but for now He's called us to point people here [...] to the other side of the world.” “I think it's imperative for us to know the stories of the past, particularly those who have gone on before us in the church, to get the context, the history that we have come from.” “It matters to know the story of how the Gospel has spread to places around the world.” “She had one idea, and now missionaries all over the world are supported because of it still.” “Reading missionary biographies or reading missionary journals helps people to see, to understand the need, but then also to see how the Holy Spirit is working in these places.” “It's important in our churches that we are educating our kids about the Bible, about the doctrines of the faith, and about the call to go and make disciples.” “A lot of times, I think people don't understand the role that we all play in the Great Commission, even in sending.” “God woke her up to know Him, and she didn't rest until she told the world His story. Through the simple acts of baking cookies and writing letters and quite a bit of feisty determination, Lottie's dream of reaching the world for Jesus came true.” “I really think it begins with opening your eyes and saying, ‘What's one thing I can do this week, and what's one thing I can do next week?'” “We are called to be the church out there – every day, everywhere we are.” What's changing our lives: Keane: Tzatziki sauce Heather: Single Today by Ryan Wekenman Amy: Matin music from Jess Ray Weekly Spotlight: Opportunities in Creative Access locations We'd love to hear from you! podcast@teachbeyond.org Podcast Website: https://teachbeyond.org/podcast Learn about TeachBeyond: https://teachbeyond.org/
