The conversation dives deep into Marcus's transformative FISH discipleship methodology, which stands for Freedom, Identity, Spirit, and Heart-Focused Community.

Rather than focusing solely on correcting behaviors, Marcus stresses the importance of fostering emotional and spiritual attachment as the foundation for lasting growth. The discussion jumps between the roles of the parent as both a disciple and a discipler, offering valuable insights for parents seeking to lead by example while also guiding their children in their own faith development. This engaging episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to strengthen their family's spiritual health, offering practical strategies and profound wisdom to cultivate a lasting, heart-centered connection with both God and each other.

In this episode of The Crosswalk Devotional, we explore the transformative power of living with a heart of gratitude. We’ll dive deep into how cultivating a thankful attitude can change our perspective, deepen our faith, and help us overcome life's challenges. Together, we’ll look at what Scripture says about gratitude and how embracing this practice can lead to a more joyful and fulfilling life in Christ. Join the Conversation:We’d love to hear how living with gratitude has impacted your life. Share your experiences with us on social media @LifeaudioPodcasting or via email—How has cultivating a thankful heart helped you in your faith journey, and what Scripture has inspired you to live with more gratitude? SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Some days, thanksgiving comes easily. When life hits hard, however, and sorrow and grief flood our souls, it can feel nearly impossible to see anything good. In those seasons, passages like today’s can feel unrealistic, if not cruel. Does God really want us to rejoice always? As someone with chronic pain, I know how challenging it can be to see past our current struggles. There was a time, in fact, that my situation felt so overwhelming, I found myself slipping into despair. God used Paul, the first century church planter who wrote today’s passage, to speak hope and encouragement into my bruised and weary soul. If you’re familiar with Scripture, you might know some of his journey. Living during a period hostile to Christ-followers, he experienced a great deal of intense persecution. He recounted some of his suffering to the church in ancient Corinth. In 2 Corinthians 11:24-28, he wrote: 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers. 27 I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. 28 Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches (NIV). He endured a depth of hardship most of us never will. He also recognized the diverse difficulties faced by Christ-followers in Thessalonica. Early in his letter to them, he wrote: You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit (1 Thess. 1:6, NIV). Pause to consider his phrasing. The man who’d been beaten, flogged, stoned, and thrown into the deepest area of an ancient dungeon referred to the Thessalonians’ suffering as “severe”. He acknowledged their pain, but he also called them to give thanks. Perhaps, in part, because he knew the power of praise to protect, comfort and strengthen the human heart. The more we reflect upon all we have, in and through Christ, the less prone we are to despair. We remember that we aren’t abandoned, forsaken, or alone. According to Dr. Marcus Warner, gratitude also helps turn on the “relational circuits”—the area in our brains that help us connect with others, God included. This heightens our awareness of His presence, sensitivity to His voice, and ability to receive comfort and strength from His love. But practicing gratitude does more than that. As I shared in an iBelieve article a few years ago, thankfulness increases our ability to recall positive memories and release toxic emotions. It also increases our dopamine and serotonin, two important mood-regulating neurotransmitters. Intersecting Life and Faith This reminds us that God truly has our best in mind, even when asking us to follow challenging guidelines, like His call to give thanks always and rejoice continually. The more we understand Him, His heart, and His ways, the more we realize everything He does stems from His perfect wisdom and love. This doesn’t mean He wants us to deny or suppress our emotions with a forced halleluiah. To the contrary, the raw anguish revealed in the Psalms and Lamentations invites us to bring our unfiltered selves to the Lord. Our pain feels most manageable, however, when cushioned in the truth of who He is, all He’s done, and all He’s promised. He is our faithful, attentive, all-powerful Father who sent His Son that we might experiencing thriving life. He has promised to bring good from all we encounter today (Romans 8:28). When difficulties arise, may we follow Paul’s instructions in Philippians 4:6, which tells us to bring our requests to God “with thanksgiving”, trusting Him to guard our hearts and minds with His peace (Phil. 4:7).

The speaker, a knowledgeable professor, emphasizes disciple-making's goal of fostering maturity, as seen through Apostle Paul's objective: presenting everyone mature in Christ. The speaker uses the metaphor of an emotional infant versus an emotional adult to illustrate varying levels of emotional maturity, introducing the "four A's" of emotional immaturity: addiction, avoidance, anger, and anxiety. These traits often appear in those at the infant and child levels of maturity. Without overcoming these, individuals may continue to exhibit immature behaviors. He explains three key brain principles linking neuroscience and maturity. First, the brain craves joy as its primary fuel, defaulting to fear if joy is unattainable. The brain's joy center, behind the eyes, helps maintain emotional stability, with mature individuals having a well-developed identity center. Second, the brain operates with two systems: the right brain scans the environment for emotional responses, while the left brain focuses on problem-solving. Emotionally mature individuals balance these functions well. Third, the brain functions on four levels: attachment, assessment, attunement, and action. Proper development of these areas is crucial for handling emotional weight without losing composure or identity. Don Whitestone, leading the school of ministry, translates these concepts into practical applications for ministry and disciple-making. He discusses five maturity levels: infant, child, adult, parent, and elder, providing a framework for assessing and promoting growth. The episode includes practical examples and personal anecdotes, illustrating how quickly an emotional trigger can regress someone to a child-like state, emphasizing the need for emotional maturity.

Dr. Marcus Warner starts by thanking everyone for joining early. He shares a bit about his work with family—his son handles marketing, and his daughter manages the podcast—along with support from volunteers like Dawn Whitestone, the school of ministry director. With a lighthearted story about a print shop mix-up, he confirms everyone has a handout and opens with a prayer, expressing gratitude for the day and the fellowship of like-minded people. The heart of his talk is “discipleship on the back of a napkin.” He recalls a teaching tool from his youth that illustrated the gap between man and God due to sin, comparing it to trying to swim from California to Hawaii—showing that we can't reach God on our own, but He provides a bridge. He suggests enhancing this napkin metaphor with vivid images, like having an angelic lawyer, to illustrate the transformations that come with accepting the gospel—such as forgiveness, a new identity, and citizenship in God's kingdom. He critiques traditional discipleship models focused on the ABCs: Academics, Behavior, and Church Activity. While valuable, he argues they often miss deeper personal transformation, leading to issues like spiritual pride and superficial maturity. He points out that traditional approaches might prioritize church benefits over individual growth, noting that knowledge can lead to arrogance without true change. Instead, he proposes a heart-focused model that integrates gospel-based theology with practical tools. Discipleship, he suggests, should start with understanding freedom in Christ—highlighting that believers need to die with Christ to be freed from sin. He emphasizes the importance of addressing repentance, forgiveness, and truth to help break free from harmful lies and wounds. Next, he stresses the significance of identity, urging listeners to recognize their new identity in Christ. He likens discipleship to cleaning out a well, removing both trash and blockages that prevent a clear flow of life. Maturity in the Christian life means handling stress while staying true to one's identity, rather than reverting to self-centered patterns. A key part of this model is walking in the Spirit. He introduces a two-winged airplane metaphor, with Scripture as one wing and the Holy Spirit as the other. Effective discipleship balances these, allowing the Spirit to guide our understanding and application of Scripture in daily life, avoiding legalism and unchecked spiritual experiences. He also highlights the importance of a supportive, heart-focused community that fosters individual freedom and spiritual growth, distinguishing it from mere social clubs. This community helps individuals remember their identity in Christ and supports their spiritual journeys. Finally, he ties everything together, showing how freedom, identity, Spirit, and community empower effective mission work. He warns that pursuing mission without these foundations can be risky, while true discipleship naturally leads to mission, as spiritually connected individuals with strong identities are equipped to make a difference. Throughout the session, he uses practical exercises and metaphors, including a simple hand mnemonic for Biblical covenants, to reinforce the gospel's cohesive narrative and present a holistic, gospel-centered approach to discipleship.

Starting from its foundation in spiritual warfare counseling by Dr. Mark Beubeck, the ministry has evolved to address the broader needs of the church community. The speaker examines how traditional approaches to discipleship, focused on truth, willpower, and power, have resulted in 'half-brained Christianity.' Emphasizing the importance of attachment and joy in spiritual development, the talk advocates for a holistic model where group discipleship plays a pivotal role. With references to thinkers like Jim Wilder, Alan Shore, and Nietzsche, the presentation challenges prevailing notions and sets the stage for a transformative approach to Christian discipleship.

Initially centered on spiritual warfare counseling by Dr. Mark Beubeck, author of "The Adversary," the ministry expanded under his influence from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Over time, it broadened its impact beyond counselors to missionaries and church members, highlighting the universal relevance of its teachings. The term "heart-focused discipleship" emerged as a key concept, emphasizing that many barriers to spiritual growth stem not from ignorance but from unresolved emotional wounds. Drawing on personal experiences as a senior pastor, the speaker observed how addressing these issues led to profound life changes among believers. Collaboration with Jim Wilder, director of a California counseling center, integrated spiritual warfare with neuroscience, particularly attachment theory. Their joint publications like "Rare Leadership" and "The Solution of Choice" blend theological insights with neuroscience to offer holistic models for personal and spiritual transformation. The episode explores four significant philosophical movements influencing Western Christianity: Reason and Truth (The Enlightenment): This era prioritized intellectual reasoning in faith, sometimes reducing Christianity to debates rather than fostering deep, transformative relationships. The Will (Voluntarism): Building on reason, this emphasized human willpower in faith, overlooking the complexity of desires and relational needs. Power (Nietzsche and Modernism): Emphasizing power and achievement, this movement sometimes overlooked the relational depth necessary for true spiritual growth. Tolerance (Postmodernism): While promoting acceptance, this movement sometimes minimized the possibility of genuine transformation, reinforcing relativism over biblical truth. The speaker advocates for a discipleship approach rooted in community dynamics. Like fertile soil nurturing plants, vibrant Christian communities foster personal growth and spiritual transformation. They critique individualistic discipleship models, advocating for group settings that provide diverse life experiences and maturity levels. Drawing from John 15, the speaker emphasizes the need to remain deeply connected to Jesus for spiritual fruitfulness. They argue that genuine transformation occurs within a supportive community centered on God's truth and relational depth—not solely on intellectualism or personal effort. Practical examples highlight the pitfalls of solo-driven spiritual warfare ministries and the benefits of team-based approaches for sustainable growth. The episode concludes with a call to embrace "Discipleship 2.0," prioritizing relational attachment and joyful community in church practices, ensuring holistic spiritual development rooted in meaningful relationships within the body of Christ.
