How do we evaluate the growth of the church? Pastor Nate explains from Ephesians 4:11-16 that church growth is less about average attendance and more about spiritual ability. We grow as we use our equipping to help each other grow.
Discover the power of the two greatest commandments and how following them transforms your life, relationships, and walk with God. Learn to live in love, serve others, and fulfill every commandment in Scripture.Jesus taught us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:36–39). This simple, yet profound truth sums up the law and the prophets, showing that obedience begins with a heart fully devoted to God.Loving God means putting Him first in everything—your time, resources, and priorities. Deuteronomy 6:5 reminds us to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and strength. True devotion flows through prayer, worship, and faithful living daily.To love your neighbor is to act with compassion, mercy, and kindness to everyone you encounter, even your enemies (Leviticus 19:18). Jesus illustrated this in the parable of the Good Samaritan, showing love through practical action and selfless sacrifice.Following these commandments is more than rules—it's a lifestyle. When your actions come from love, you honor God, bless others, and reflect His character in your daily work, family life, and community (1 Corinthians 13:1–3).Love is the foundation for all obedience. When love drives your decisions, every commandment becomes achievable. You live without resentment, hatred, or selfishness, embodying Christ's heart and fulfilling God's calling in every moment.Step into a life fully aligned with God's will. Love God, love your neighbor, and let every action reflect mercy, grace, and purpose. Walk in the fullness of His calling and see how simple, obedient love can change your life and your world.Referenced Verses:Matthew 22:36–39Deuteronomy 6:5Exodus 20:3Luke 10:25–37Leviticus 19:18Romans 13:8–101 John 4:7–8-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

Arizona Christian University's most recent American Worldview Inventory report addressed the level of Biblical worldview in eight different categories. For the marketplace, I believe their category, Lifestyles, Behaviors, and Relationships is critical.

What happens when secular culture does a better job of shaping our desires and beliefs than the church?Trinity Anglican Seminary theology professor Dr. Alex Fogelman joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the decline of discipleship and how modern culture invisibly catechizes us.Dr. Fogelman explores the historical roots of foundational instruction and his book Making Disciples: Catechesis in History, Theology, and Practice. They examine why pragmatic approaches to church growth fail and how a comprehensive introduction to the faith can deeply root believers against the shifting winds of the modern age.In this conversation they explore:Why the "learning of faith" is essential, even though faith is a divine gift, to help form a new humanity. How the endless scroll of social media, pop culture, and shopping malls act as powerful forms of "cultural catechesis" that shape our vision of the good life. The flaws of imitating cultural forms, like "Christian Pokémon" or "Christian AI," and why simply swapping out the content ignores how the medium shapes the message. How the "TikTok age" exacerbates a sense of ephemeral rootlessness that prevents true human flourishing. The danger of church pragmatism and why sustainable ministry must integrate theology, history, and practice together. Practical strategies for making catechesis the "front porch" of the church, where the faith is passed on person-to-person rather than through an automated screen.This is a conversation for anyone interested in theology, cultural analysis, and discipleship who wants to understand the hidden liturgies shaping our minds and how to build a more grounded faith.Make sure to check out Dr. Fogleman's book: Making Disciples: Catechesis in History, Theology, and Practice

9 Ministry Principles
We don't have to look far to see the mess—it's in our homes, our communities, and our world. But what if Jesus already gave us the solution?In this message from Gospel of Matthew 28:19–20, we unpack the simple but powerful “recipe” Jesus gave to change everything: go, make disciples, baptize, and teach. These aren't just suggestions—they are the strategy of heaven to transform lives, families, and nations.Just like a recipe requires every ingredient, following Jesus means more than hearing the Word—it means living it. From the call to step out in faith, to the courage of public declaration through baptism, to the challenge of truly obeying God's commands, this message will push you to move from passive belief to active obedience.
278. Do We Still Think Jesus Was A Carpenter? In this week's episode Cris revisits the familiar image of Jesus the carpenter and gently questions whether the Gospels point us instead toward a builder shaped by the stone and soil of first-century Galilee. Tracing the meaning of tekton, and following the thread of foundations, cornerstones, and structures that run through Gospel of Matthew, Gospel of Mark, and Gospel of Luke, the episode builds a case that Jesus teaches like one who knows what it means to dig deep and build to last.

During a period of 40 days between the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, and His Ascension, He met several times with His disciples. In this section, Jesus met with the eleven, who He had instructed to meet Him at a particular mountain in Galilee. When they saw Him they worshipped Him, although some took a while to grasp the reality of the situation. Then Jesus gave the eleven key instructions about how they should fulfill their mission, which we refer to as The Great Commission. This would involve the disciples going to ALL THE NATIONS, and MAKING DISCIPLES, and BAPTISING THEM, with the knowledge that Jesus would be always with them, overseeing the work!

Men's Bible study producing good conversation but no disciples? This episode breaks down exactly why — and what a group that actually multiplies looks like.Most men's groups are stuck in what David Watson calls the "knowledge acquisition loop" — curriculum after curriculum, semester after semester, with men who know more about God but never actually go make disciples. The problem isn't the men. It's the model.In this episode:→ Why most men's Bible studies create informed men — not disciple-makers→ The knowledge acquisition loop — and why it's not the men's fault→ Why intimacy with Jesus has to come before multiplication (and what that actually means)→ The 3 values that separate a Bible study from a discipleship group→ High challenge, high grace — the culture that changes everything→ How to recruit 3–8 men and have the first honest conversation→ What the group looks like week to week — and how the D-Square works→ Why the end of the group is a send, not a graduation — and what comes nextIf you're leading a men's group, thinking about starting one, or tired of watching men go through study after study without becoming disciple-makers — this is the conversation you've been waiting for.

Every Christian needs two people in their lives. We need someone we are learn from and someone we are discipling. We need someone in our lives that is helping us grow spiritually, and someone we are helping grow.Main Points:1. There is much emphasis today on our “personal relationship with Christ.” But sometimes because it's personal, we forget our responsibility to share it with others. 2. The Scripture informs us that the older women should teach the younger women. The older men should teach the younger men. This may not always refer to age because we know that just because a person is older it does not mean they are mature in the faith. I believe Paul is instructing us to find someone who is new in the faith so we can teach them how to follow Christ. This is discipleship.3. In discipleship, we model and teach toward a deeper love for and obedience to Christ. The goal of all discipleship is that we would be like Christ in our actions and character.Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 28:19-20 - “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you…”1 Thessalonians 5:11 - “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”Hebrews 10:24 - “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works…”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
