Podcasts about making disciples

After The War came to Fellowship Baptist Church, Bobby reflects on the joy of watching God use the next generation, especially as his son David recruited teens, helped in the invitation, and personally led several young men to Christ. But the episode moves beyond one exciting week of outreach to a bigger challenge from the Great Commission: every Christian has a next mission. If you have received the gospel, your next step is to grow; and as you grow, God calls you to go help others grow too. Topics Discussed The return of The War under Austin Brownlee's leadership Watching God use young people in evangelism David Bosler recruiting teens and leading several to Christ The follow-up event after The War: “The Next Mission” Matthew 28 and the Great Commission The receiving side of the Great Commission: grow The sending side of the Great Commission: go Baptism as the first step after salvation Surrendering to God's next step in your life Helping others take their next step without pride or condescension Depending on Christ's presence and power to fulfill His mission Key Takeaways Every saved young person has a next step. The first step after salvation is believer's baptism. Christian growth does not stop with one decision; God wants obedience in all things. The Great Commission is not only something you receive, but something you obey. God calls growing Christians to help others grow. You do not have to feel fully prepared before God can use you. Christ's mission requires surrender, but it also comes with His enabling presence. God wants to use you to make a difference in someone else's life.

Biblical teaching on loving others, the Golden Rule, and Christian humility—this sermon explains how to value others above yourself through Scripture and Christlike living.This message focuses on the powerful command to put others before yourself, rooted in Jesus' teaching to love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:31). True Christian living means shifting from selfish ambition to a life centered on serving others.The sermon highlights the Golden Rule found in Scripture, calling believers to treat others the way they want to be treated (Luke 6:31). This principle is simple, yet deeply challenging, requiring intentional humility and daily obedience.It also addresses the reality that many people hear these teachings but fail to live them out. The world remains full of selfishness because people do not practice what they preach, even within churches and leadership.Believers are challenged to examine their lives honestly. If you claim to follow Christ but do not live according to His commands, Scripture warns against hypocrisy and calls for true transformation (1 John 3:10).At the heart of this teaching is a deeper definition of love: the joyful willingness to put yourself aside for the benefit of others. This kind of love reflects the character of Jesus and fulfills God's commandments in action.The message also emphasizes humility, reminding Christians to reject selfish ambition and instead value others above themselves (Philippians 2:3). This means not only fairness, but intentionally choosing others' needs over your own.Ultimately, Jesus is the perfect example of this lifestyle. He served, healed, and sacrificed for others, demonstrating what it truly means to live out love and obedience in every moment (Matthew 7:12).Referenced Verses:Mark 12:31Luke 6:31Matthew 22:39Acts 13:101 John 3:10Matthew 7:12Philippians 2:3-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

Jesus Followers Must Meet Jesus' Expectation of His “Great Commission” By Both “Going” and “Making Disciples” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus, in Luke 15:4-7, tells us, through His Parable of The Lost Sheep, the importance to God of our discipleship: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.' Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.".   Immediately before His Ascension into Heaven Jesus told the Apostles and us today, in His Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20, that as we go into our communities and into all parts of the world, we are to make disciples: “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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 observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'”. We must begin, as followers of Jesus, to meet His fundamental expectation for us by both going and making disciples!   TODAY'S PRAYER: Abba Father, I open my clenched fists to surrender everything you have given to me. Reestablish my identity in you — not in my family, my work, my accomplishments, or what others think of me. Cleanse the things in me that are not conformed to your will. By faith I unite my will to yours so that the likeness of Jesus Christ may be formed in me. In his name, amen.         Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 85). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Anxiety. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Peace. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 10:16; Matthew 16:24-28; Psalms 29:1-11.  A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

Church growth is a gift, but it comes with real challenges. In Acts 6, the early church faced a crisis when rapid growth caused some of its most vulnerable members to be overlooked. Rather than slowing down or shutting the doors, the apostles restructured, delegated responsibility, and built a team capable of caring for everyone. The result was not less growth but more. A healthy church grows relationally, not just numerically, and every believer plays a role in making sure no one slips through the cracks. That means connecting with people you do not know yet, interceding for one another, inviting people into your everyday life, and serving where there is a need. Rest is also part of the equation, because sustainable faithfulness matters more than burning out. The mission has not changed: making disciples who carry the presence of Jesus into every area of life.Support the show

In this episode, we see Jesus with some last minute instructions for his disciples!

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Discipleship.” Dr. David Nelms joined us to explain why discipleship is more than listening to the Bible—it means obeying Jesus out of love and helping others grow as we go. David serves as Founder of The Timothy Initiative, a global movement that makes and multiplies disciples, churches, and leaders. We also had Leonard Tanks Jr. join us to share his story of radical transformation and explain how discipleship happens through real-life relationships, surrender, and walking alongside others as they grow in Christ. Leonard is an apologist and emerging theologian based in Cleveland, Ohio, where he serves as the pastor and church planter of Reach City Church.

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.

Arizona Christian University's most recent American Worldview Inventory report addressed the level of Biblical worldview in eight different categories.

Unfortunately, according to the report, only 10% of adults are integrating the Bible into their behaviors and relationships. Our biggest opportunity, however, lies ...

Small Groups are NOT the same as disciple-making. Brian was deep into Small Groups, doing it the way everyone's been doing it for ages, when the Lord suddenly convicted him that he wasn't actually fulfilling the Great Commission with the work he was doing. He chose the path of humility and allowed the Lord to strip him of all that he thought he knew, and to build him back up. And the results have been incredible. Brian's disciple-making went to the 4th and 5th generation and beyond, and he now helps churches make disciples who make disciples...again, getting to that magical 4th generation where growth becomes natural and expected. This is an exciting episode, and one in which I got a major download about something Brian said related to making both Small Groups AND disciple-making work hand in hand without cannibalizing each other. In this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:56 Prioritizing Disciple-Making 3:05 The difference between disciple-making and small group ministry 9:48 First principles disciple-making 19:54 Getting to the 4th generation and beyond 24:40 From inclusive to exclusive invitations 29:32 Acceptable time commitment 33:38 What actually works to transform lives 39:00 How to engage local churches Resources: Disciples Made: https://disciplesmade.com The Patient Ferment of the Early Church by Alan Kreider: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0801048494/ Not A Fan by Kyle Idleman: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310344700/ ---

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
