Episode SummaryIn this episode, Bobby Bosler recounts the recent cross-country move that marked a major transition into the pastorate—and the spiritual insights it sparked. With everything his family owned packed into a single trailer, he reflects on Jesus' words in Matthew 6 about treasure, focus, and true devotion.

Episode SummaryIn this powerful continuation of his series on The Believer's Authority, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen shares how believers can experience real victory over Satan—not by personal strength, but by being fully submitted to Christ. Reflecting on the recent passing of his prayer-warrior mother-in-law, Dr. Van Gelderen weaves together personal testimony, scriptural truth, and vivid illustrations to show how spiritual authority flows from surrender. When you're under Christ's authority, you stand over the enemy—and he must flee.Topics DiscussedRemembering Janet Cross and her legacy of prayer and faithWhat it means to be “in Christ” and seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 1–2)Christ's victory over Satan and the believer's shared triumphJames 4:7 and the conditions for resisting the devilDelegated authority illustrated with a traffic cop and a mother's commandWhy praying “in Jesus' name” is more than a phraseResisting Satan's influence in weather, illness, and other real-life situationsTotal surrender and total dependence as the foundation for authorityKey TakeawaysSpiritual authority is not earned through strength, but accessed through submission.Christ's victory over Satan is final, and believers share in that authority when yielded to Him.Praying “in Jesus' name” means aligning with His will and authority, not just using a phrase.We must not be passive in the spiritual battle; resisting Satan is an active responsibility.Whether facing external circumstances or internal battles, the path to victory is the same: under authority, over the enemy.

Key Verses: Psalm 25:1-7"O Lord, I give my life to you."

Episode SummaryIn this very special episode, Bobby Bosler shares an exciting announcement and a deeply personal journey of faith. Speaking from Matthew 14, he draws parallels between Peter's step out of the boat and the major life change God has led him and his family into — accepting the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist Church in Fairmont, West Virginia. Bobby testifies to God's guidance through uncertainty, showing how surrender and obedience open the door for God's miraculous provision and peace.Topics DiscussedStepping out in faith when God's leading feels impossibleThe story behind the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist ChurchHow God uses closed doors and lack of peace to redirect our stepsWrestling with calling, gifting, and identity in ministryEncouragement to follow God's call even when it requires major life changesKey TakeawaysGod's leading often requires taking a step into the impossible. Like Peter walking on water, faith demands stepping out based on God's command, not on visible certainty.Closed doors are part of God's guidance. The lack of peace about repairing or replacing the trailer was God's way of preparing the Bosler family for a completely new direction.Gifting doesn't limit God's calling. Even as an evangelist, Bobby discovered that God could use him to pastor and shepherd a local church, showing that God's calling often stretches us beyond our assumptions.Obedience leads to peace. When Bobby and his wife yielded to the possibility of pastoring, God flooded their hearts with undeniable peace and clarity.A big step of faith inspires others. Just like Peter's step inspired worship in the boat, your obedience can ripple out to encourage others to trust and follow Christ.

The Gethsemane Experience: Understanding Agony, Despair, and SurrenderThe Garden of Gethsemane, nestled at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, is not just a historical site, but a symbol of spiritual distress that resonates with all of us. This sacred place is where Jesus Christ, in his humanity, endured immense agony and despair before his crucifixion, offering deep reflections on suffering and total surrender to divine will. The Gethsemane experience is not just a story from the past, but a call to consider our own struggles, fostering a profound understanding of faith amid adversity that we all can relate to.Prelude to Agony: Jesus's Final HoursThe events in Gethsemane unfold after Jesus shares a final meal with his disciples as he retreats to pray amid the heavy anticipation of his impending sacrifice. This moment brings forth the tension between human suffering and divine purpose, showcasing Jesus's humanity as he confronts the loneliness and weight of humanity's sins. The synoptic Gospels—Matthew, Mark, and Luke—describe him as "sorrowful to the point of death" (Mark 14:34), illustrating a critical struggle with existential despair.The Agony of the Soul: A Profound StruggleIn Gethsemane, Jesus endures the "agony" of the soul, praying so intensely that he sweats drops of blood—a condition known as hematidrosis. His earnest plea, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done" (Luke 22:42), reveals the tension between his divine nature and human experience. The "cup" symbolizes the suffering he must endure out of unconditional love, highlighting the complex dynamics between aversion to pain and submission to God's will.Total Surrender: A Path to FaithThe Gethsemane experience ultimately embodies total surrender, a powerful act that can transform our lives. In his vulnerability, Jesus submits to divine will, offering a powerful model for navigating our moments of despair. Life presents us with Gethsemane-like challenges, often filled with uncertainty and fear, yet Jesus's example teaches us to find strength in surrendering our will to God's more excellent plan. This act of trust does not come easily; it demands introspection and courage, turning our pain into a pathway for transformation. It's a reminder that even in our darkest moments, surrender can lead to a brighter future.Aftermath: A Legacy of HopeGethsemane's agony foreshadows the unfolding of a new covenant through Good Friday and Easter Sunday, epitomizing the resurrection of hope and life. This narrative reassures us that deep sorrow can give rise to profound joy, emphasizing that surrender is a courageous act leading to divine victory and renewal. It's a reminder that no matter how dark our circumstances may seem, there is always hope on the horizon, waiting to bring new life and joy.As we contemplate the Gethsemane experience, we recognize that our moments of despair hold the potential for faith growth. We are invited into a sacred relationship with the Divine, where our struggles pave the way for transformation. Just as Jesus emerged from Gethsemane ready to face his cross, we too can confront our challenges—embracing life with renewed purpose.Conclusion: Embracing Vulnerability for Deeper FaithThe Gethsemane experience serves as a timeless call to acknowledge our fears and choose surrender as a route to deeper faith. Through Jesus's struggle, we find a mirror reflecting our pain and a guiding light toward hope and redemption. In our darkest hours, surrendering to God's will leads us to unimaginable grace, inviting profound growth and renewal in our spiritual journey.

Episode SummaryIn this opening episode of The Believer's Authority series, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen lays the biblical foundation for victorious Christian living. Drawing from Ephesians and Colossians, he explains how every believer is spiritually seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all demonic powers. This critical truth shifts the battlefield and shows young people that victory over the enemy is not only possible—it's already been won.Topics DiscussedTestimony of Pastor Marty Moon's salvation and call to preachThe believer's identification with Christ's death, resurrection, and ascensionWhat it means to be “seated in heavenly places” (Ephesians 2:6)The biblical reality that Satan is already defeated (Colossians 2:14-15)Understanding spiritual authority vs. spiritual powerThe necessity of submission to Christ in exercising His authority (James 4:7)A preview of the next steps: appropriation and actionKey TakeawaysYour spiritual position matters—you are in Christ, seated far above the enemy.You're not fighting for victory; you're fighting from victory.Satan is already defeated at the cross—you don't ask for victory; you claim it.Submission is the gateway to authority—you can only exercise Christ's authority when you're under it.Knowing truth is step one—appropriating and acting on it comes next.

Josh humorously contrasts his ministry work with Jason's role as a megachurch pastor, blending humor with humility as they transition into the heart of the discussion: being disciples who model a life others can follow. Josh highlights a pivotal question that shaped his journey: “Are we disciples worth reproducing?” He explains how this question challenged him during his time in India and emphasizes the importance of living a life that's worth replicating to spark true disciple-making movements. Jason reflects on Matthew 28, pointing out how the call to make disciples goes beyond personal salvation to living out Jesus' commands daily. He warns against reducing discipleship to intellectual belief and stresses the need for a life fully surrendered to Christ. The conversation also explores the role of guilt in discipleship. Jason notes that guilt may motivate in the short term, but only a deep love for Jesus sustains true obedience. Drawing from the Gospel of Mark, he explains that Jesus' worthiness is what compels people to follow Him, forming the foundation of authentic discipleship. Josh shares a vivid spiritual dream from 2017, where he saw Jesus and the Holy Spirit dancing in a harvest field, inviting him to join them. This powerful image captures the joy of participating in God's mission and highlights the relational, invitational nature of Jesus' call. Throughout the episode, both hosts stress the importance of living a life of overflow—being filled with the Spirit and letting that flow into every aspect of life, not just on Sundays. Jason compares this to being a funnel rather than a bucket: a funnel channels what it receives, symbolizing a life fully engaged with Jesus and His work. Josh recounts his early experiences in India, admitting his understanding of discipleship was initially shallow. He underscores that true discipleship starts with personal transformation through Christ, leading others into that same journey—not just delivering sermons. They also reflect on how God uses imperfect people for extraordinary purposes, emphasizing that it's not about being flawless but about being obedient and dependent on Jesus. Finally, the hosts invite listeners to reach out for resources and support as they grow as disciples who make disciples, promising encouragement and inspiration in future episodes. #Discipleship #Jesus #Faith #Surrender #Obedience #Christianity #Transformation Get Discipleship.org's premium Podcast Feed: https://disciplemakerspodcast.supercast.com/  Check out the following eBooks from Discipleship.org: -- What Is Church?
