Podcasts about make disciples

This conversation I have with Roy Moran is about something I hear from so many people I work with... the silence. What do you do when you sit down to pray and just get nothing back? Roy walked me through his own journey with that exact question, and how solitude became a discipline he couldn't live without.Roy Moran spent 25 years pioneering the Hybrid Church model at Shoal Creek before joining New Generations, where he now works with disciple-making movements around the world. He's the author of Spent Matches. You can learn more about his work at Mercy Alliance.We get into why Roy stopped filling his prayer time with talking and started learning to just be quiet, what to do when your mind won't settle even after you've gone silent, and how that discipline ended up changing the way he experiences God's love, not just in his head, but in his body.Chapters:00:00 Intro: How Roy Got Started in Disciple-Making03:20 Why "Jesus Commands Us to Make Disciples" Is False05:33 Gravitational vs Catalytic Leadership09:15 How Roy's Journey of Listening to God Began11:34 Learning to Sit in Silence With God24:19 Trading a Spirit of Success for Perseverance29:51 The Fear Behind Our Demand for Answers34:34 The Prodigal Son Picture That Changed Everything43:41 Moving From Striving to ReceivingIf the silence has felt more like absence than connection, I don't think you're missing something. I think you might be closer than you realize.

Jesus Followers Are “Commissioned" to “Make Disciples” and Not to Become Members of an Exclusive Holy Club MESSAGE SUMMARY:  We need to welcome new excited Followers of Jesus as members of our Non-Exclusive global fellowship as Followers of Jesus. Those of us who have been brought up in the church or have been in the church for a while can get caught up in our perceived personal righteousness. We get used to the presence of God and His peace in our lives. However, we then encounter a new Followers of Jesus. These new Christians, before their conversion, were living in the ways of the world without God's peace. Now, these new believers are so excited with their new life; however, their outward manifestation of their conversion may not “fit” with our personal Christian behavioral norms. Sadly, too many modern Christians judge and condemn these new, excited believers for their enthusiasm rather than loving, encouraging, and embracing these new Followers of Jesus. We can learn from Jesus' rebuke of the Pharisees, who exhibited similar non-supportive behavior of Christians in Matthew 5:20: “For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, when I read even part of the story of Job, I too am overwhelmed by your “wildness.” Your ways and timing are beyond me. Job moved from hearing about you to having “seen you.” Lead me, Lord, on a pathway so that I too can pray as Job prayed: “My ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you” (Job 42:5). In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 89). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Inconsistencies. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Faithfulness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

The Method of the Mission: Knowing Is Doing: Three progressions of making disciples in Scripture: the first one looking at Paul the teacher; second, Timothy the student; and then third, the training of us.

The kingdom of God does not advance through programs, but people. The priority and the focus of the Church today is to make disciples of Jesus. There is a litany of good and right things in the world to take part in and give our attention to, but the primary role of the follower of Jesus is to ma...

Your Role in the Mission: Getting Started: We have seen the importance of making disciples and some of the differences between someone who calls themselves a Christian and a person who is a disciple or a learner. In this session, we'll address some of the basic how-to questions concerning the Great Commission, including Here are the five questions: “To whom do we go?” “Where do we go?” “With what do we go?” “How do we go?” and then finally, “Why do we go?” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/701/29?v=20251111

This episode pushes into the tension many practitioners feel: should you aim at making disciples, starting churches, or both? Mark and Dave argue that what you aim for is usually what you reproduce, so vague language creates vague outcomes. They unpack why disciple-making without a church pathway often stalls before leadership, and why church planting without disciple-making DNA creates gatherings that don't multiply. You'll walk away with a sharper way to diagnose your work, clarify the goal downstream, and build a pathway from lost to leader and from church start to church health.Save Your Seat for the "The Aquila and Priscilla Pattern" 45 Min Zoom Lab next month: ⁠https://covomultipliers.com/s/Re6np6Find Dave on Substack: ⁠⁠⁠https://substack.com/@damillertime⁠⁠⁠⁠And Mark on Substack: ⁠https://substack.com/@multiplyingdisciples⁠

Many churches are busy. Few are truly making disciples. In this conversation, Fr. Sammie Maletta and Khalil Hattar share the leadership principles that helped shape a culture of discipleship, mission, and renewal at St. John Parish—and the lessons they learned through mistakes, setbacks, and deep dependence on the Holy Spirit. If you're serious about parish renewal, pick up a copy of "Be Disciples, Make Disciples" and begin evaluating how these principles could shape your own ministry: https://www.lorrainecross.media/shop/p/bedisciplesmakedisciples For more than two decades, Fr. Sammie Maletta has been leading renewal efforts at St. John the Evangelist Parish in Indiana. In this episode, he and Khalil Hattar unpack the core leadership convictions behind their new book and explain why renewal begins with personal conversion, trust in the Holy Spirit, and a commitment to forming disciples who make disciples. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why parish renewal always begins with the leader • The difference between building a ministry around preferences and building around mission • How the Holy Spirit guides difficult leadership decisions • Why multiplication is essential to effective leadership • What leaders can learn from mistakes, failures, and setbacks • How healthy parish cultures create disciples who make disciples • Why collaboration across parishes matters more than ever About the Guests Fr. Sammie Maletta has served as a priest for more than 40 years and is the pastor of St. John the Evangelist Parish in St. John, Indiana. Trained in both Canon Law and Civil Law, he is passionate about parish renewal and helping leaders build healthy missionary cultures. Khalil Hattar serves as P.A. for Vision and Mission Integration and Chief of Staff at St. John Parish. After seminary formation in both Chicago and Rome, where he earned a Bachelor of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Khalil now helps translate vision into practical ministry that forms disciples who make disciples.

The Called series brings clarity to the believer's purpose, emphasizing that every follower of Jesus has a divine calling. We are not saved to sit, but saved to serve, to love, to be witnesses, and to live holy lives that reflect God's character. This series challenges us to move from passive faith to active obedience, using our gifts to impact others and advance God's Kingdom. It is a call to live intentionally, to love boldly, and to stand out in a world that desperately needs the light of Christ. When we understand our calling, we begin to live with purpose, passion, and eternal impact. This episode was recorded on June 07, 2026, during our 11:00am worship service.

Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV) And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “ALL AUTHORITY has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 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, TEACHING THEM to observe all things that I HAVE COMMANDED you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. As a disciple of Jesus, for us to be effective, we've got to acknowledge GOD-ORDAINED AUTHORITY REQUIRES RESPONSIBILITY. In other words, when we fail to exercise our God-ordained authority, we basically limit God's predestined plan.

It was an encounter with his future wife, a Catholic, on a secular dating app, that he was first found himself asking questions about Catholicism, digging deeper into the doctrine and dogma and the Early Church Fathers, and making some shocking discoveries!He joins me to share these today on the show. For more from Eyram, follow the Afrociscan on all major social media platforms.For more from Fr.
