Why is baptism spiritually significant? Baptism is a powerful picture of our union with Christ in His death and resurrection. It declares our freedom from sin and our new identity in Him.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?

A Comparison Between the Cultural Mandate and the Great Commission.

Send us a textLet's talk about it!  A quick 15-20 minute episode to jumpstart some thoughts to consider in your day.  Life is busy but we want to mindful of the reason God placed us on this earth.  One of those reasons is to share our faith in Jesus.  Today we want to talk about why this is hard and also identify some ways we can push back against the barriers that keep us from sharing.  Is there some commonality here between us (Derek and the audience -- you!)?  I hope so!  But let's spur one another on and pray for one another to be bold in preaching Christ.  

What does church planting look like here in North America? In this episode, Alex and Scott talk with Dr. Clare Jewell, national representative of the GARBC and Executive Director with ABWE's EveryEthne, about the state of church planting in North America. Clare shares his journey from pastoral ministry to missions leadership, explaining his passion for helping churches reproduce and make disciples. While the U.S. is filled with churches, it remains the world's third-largest mission field. New church plants, Clare explains, are far more effective in reaching the lost than established congregations, and the focus must shift from programs to relationships. Jewell also addresses how churches can reach people “not like them”, to get beyond people that share the same demographics, moral code, or even religion. He highlights the growing hunger among younger generations for mentorship and authentic discipleship, seeing signs of renewed spiritual interest. Key Topics The need for disciple-making and church reproduction in North America Effectiveness of new church plants versus established churches Relational evangelism over program-driven ministry Engaging culture without compromising biblical truth Revitalizing the GARBC toward mission and interdependence Is God calling you to missions? ABWE can help you find the opportunities and support you need to bring the gospel to the nations, plant churches, and disciple believers. Start the conversation with us today at abwe.org/sendme.

What is the context of Christ's command to baptize? We look at the setting of the Great Commission, where Jesus, risen and authoritative, calls His disciples to baptize. This command flows from worship, dependence, and the presence of 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.

Spiritual growth requires both deep roots in Christ and active outreach to others. Like plants need strong roots to thrive, our faith needs to be firmly established in Jesus to bear fruit. This involves a two-directional approach: reaching up to God through worship, prayer, and Bible study, and reaching out to others by sharing our faith. Our personal testimony is a powerful tool that doesn't require theological expertise—just authenticity about what Jesus has done in our lives. When we understand God's heart for the lost as illustrated in Luke 15, we're motivated to fulfill the Great Commission by investing in relationships and helping others take steps toward Jesus.

A compelling wrap-up to our “All for One & One for All” series on unity: from Babel's warning about being unified around the wrong goals to the church's call to God-honoring togetherness. When a body is truly unified, we gain a sharpened focus on the Great Commission (2 Tim 2), an enhanced vision for next steps (Acts 18), fruitful and relevant ministry, and real growth in maturity (Eph 4). The message ends with a corporate call to prayer—asking God to deepen our unity and protect us from division.

In this episode of Pray the Word on Luke 24:46–47, David Platt reminds us of our call to obey the Great Commission.Listen to our newest podcast, Everyday Radical!Explore more content from Radical.

Are small Bible colleges on life support in America? In this week's episode, Alex and Scott welcome Dr. Jim Lytle, former president of Clarks Summit University and former ABWE missionary to South Africa, to discuss the enduring importance of Christian institutions and the plight facing Bible colleges today. They explore how Bible colleges have historically served as crucial training grounds for mobilizing missionaries, shaping young believers' worldviews, and fostering a heart for cross-cultural ministry. Lytle emphasizes that the purpose of these schools was not only theological education but also defining reality for students—helping them see their lives in the context of God's global mission. They also address the challenges facing Christian higher education today, including declining enrollment, rising costs, parental hesitancy toward missions, and cultural changes that have shifted students' perspectives. They discuss the growing need for local churches to take on a greater role in developing and sending workers, the later age at which many missionaries are now mobilized, and the unique openness of Gen Z to purpose-driven and clearly defined callings. Key Topics The role of Christian institutions like Bible colleges in missions mobilization and shaping students' worldview and calling Challenges for Christian higher education (enrollment, finances, cultural shifts) Trends in mobilizing Gen Z for missions and ministry Need for clearly defined, purpose-driven calls to action Explore your calling to global missions at ABWE's 24-Hour DEMO event.

This is Week 5 of our series Circles, where we're learning how God's Word guides us in strengthening the relational circles in our lives. This series isn't just about building better relationships—it's about divine realignments. God is repositioning some of us for greater impact and deeper joy, helping us step into His chosen connections that will change our life's course.Last week, we explored our inner circle and our relationship with God—the foundation of everything. Today, we dive into the outer circle—the people outside our immediate circle, those who feel different or even uncomfortable to us. These are our neighbors, co-workers, people at the store, even those we might ignore or block on social media. The question is: how do we relate to them?Our key verse is Colossians 4:5-6:"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."Why do outsiders matter?Because they matter to God. They are loved by Him, and many are in our lives for a reason. Just like the early Christians in Colossae—who faced hostility, rejection, and persecution—they refused to retreat or water down their faith. Instead, they made a difference by living intentionally and boldly.In a culture filled with division and deception, they stood firm, refusing to compromise. They knew Christ and carried His presence into the outside world, fulfilling the Great Commission: "Go and preach the Gospel to all nations." Their lives weren't just about getting by—they were about making an impact.Our faith was never meant to be hidden. Remember, light doesn't need permission to shine—darkness cannot overcome it. The resistance you encounter may be a sign that you're on the right track.Loving the outsiders means being wise in our manner, our moment, and our message:Wisdom in our manner:Mind your words — be gracious, kind, and respectful. Jesus said, "Let your words always be full of grace and seasoned with salt." Our words should preserve, heal, and attract others to Christ, not offend or push away. We're called to be witty, engaging, and loving—never abrasive or rude.Wisdom in our moment:Seize divine appointments. Be proactive in noticing opportunities God puts in your path. Whether it's a new neighbor, a co-worker, or a cashier at the store—these moments are orchestrated by God for meaningful connections. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's lead and respond in faith.Wisdom in our message:Always be ready to share the hope you have. Your story, your church, your faith—these can be powerful bridges. Share the Gospel confidently, using words that are honest, compassionate, and truthful. Remember, our goal is to win hearts, not arguments.Love and truth go hand in hand. Grace without truth is meaningless. Truth without grace is harsh. Together, they bring healing and transformation.Ask yourself:Are my actions and words drawing people closer to Jesus, or pushing them away?Be intentional. Be wise. Make the most of every divine opportunity.Because, ultimately, guiding others to Christ is the heartbeat of our faith. Let's step out boldly, shining His light into the outer circle with wisdom, love, and grace. Are you ready?
