Dr. Brent Thomason and I discuss 6 questions we can ask while we study scripture. This is not an exhaustive list, but simply a tool we can use to help us grow in understanding of Scripture and how the Truths in God's word can change our lives.
Dr. T's List of Questions:
- Who are the plot participants in the text?
- What are the ‘hinge’ words/concepts in the text?
- Why are they saying this rather than something else?
- What did it mean to them/then? How does that translate to us/now?
- What other texts shed light on this one?
- How does the meaning of this text change my life today?

Through recreation individually, one-on-one, small groups, and organizationally, we can grow closer to God and build community with each other.

other notes for further study:
https://arkencounter.com/
Noah’s story is told in Genesis 5:28-10:32, honorable mentions are in 1 Chronicles 1:3 & 4; Isaiah 54:9; Ezekiel 14:14, 20; Matthew 24:37-38; Luke 3:36; 17:26-27; Hebrews 11:7; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:5.
Part one of two for Making disciples. This is not a comprehensive curriculum, but is a pattern which I have observed in my own personal discipleship journey as well as from my readings in my Masters of Discipleship classes. I discuss a pathway of life change and pull wisdom/teachings from Dallas Willard's book, The Divine Conspiracy.
I read Mark Batterson's book, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, during a season where I needed to hear the call to pursue the dreams God put on my heart. Batterson's book outlines 7 skills of a lion chaser, like Benaiah. Benaiah is King David's bodyguard captain and is mentioned in the register of David's Mighty Men.
I got a chance to sit down with my former youth pastor who is now an executive pastor as a church plant right outside of Boston, MA. He has a passion for all things leadership, especially leadership in the local church. You can connect with Jason via email: jasonevanhodges@gmail.com or find him on facebook.
I hope you are encouraged from our conversation. Listen for when he talks about the leaders need to be self-aware, the hard work needed to maintain our pace, and for his advice for the next gen of leaders in the church.
The first man who never died! His biblical record is short, but his life was dedicated to God and therefore he left a lasting legacy. Learn from Enoch's life how he "walked and lived in close fellowship with God." Also, discover how this intimacy with God affects the way we love and lead others.
Accountability and Encouragement are two sides of the same coin in making disciples. In this episode, I briefly show two examples of accountability and encouragement, talk about accountability and why we need it, encouragement and why we need it, and then I wrap up with three methods to use and what kind of relationships are best suited for accountability and encouragement.
John Started Solid Rock coaching after a career in sales and leadership in various corporations and the US Army.

This book is in my top five most impactful books for me. I hope you are encouraged and challenged in how you engage in conflict resolution. His book is divided into four sections: Glorify God, Get the log out of your own eye, Gently restore, and Go and be reconciled. I do my best to sum up his content in 40 minutes, but you'll have to get and read the book yourself to fill in the gaps.

Dr. Phillips is the VP of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in Charlotte, NC. My conversation with Dr. Tom centered on revival in America. His passion is seen clearly as he shares stories and examples of men and women being moved by God. This is a great conversation to listen to as we prepare to be good stewards of God's movement in our community.
This week's episode we walk through Bill Hull's book. Bill Hull is a disciple-making evangelist and in his book, he outlines his theology of discipleship. I have three major take-away's from this book which I want to share with you.
This is the second biblical profile and we are talking about the life and person of Eve! She was a pivotal figure in the creation narrative and God used her to correct the only aspect of creation which he deemed "not good." There are a few nuggets we can learn from her life which impact the way we learn, love God, and respond to leadership!
Feel free to share!
I want to encourage you to find an abundance of mentors to help you grow. In this episode, we look at the biblical example of Paul mentoring Timothy, four aspects of finding mentors, and I honor two men who invested heavily in my life. I hope this episode makes you hungry to learn from men and women who are doing now, what you want to do later.
In this episode, I talk with Dale Sellers about life, leadership, and growing in our relationship with Christ. He gives great direction and guidance to leaders in the church. Listen close when he talks about practicing the Sabbath, how to cast a vision, and to become the master of the mundane.
