If we relegate discipleship to preaching and pastoring, we will be stifling the growth of those we're discipling. Jesus modeled a kind of parenting with His disciples, and if Jesus did it, it's good enough for us. In this episode, Andrew and John talk about the different models of discipleship, and the importance of all of them. They introduce a new acronym - The 3 P's - because they're Andrew and John and they love the acronyms ;)

Using tools is not discipleship. But discipleship is easier if we utilize tools. In this episode, Andrew talks to Jim McKnight about the importance of having tools, some of their favorite discipleship tools, and warnings about relying too much on them. If you're a disciple-maker and wanting to see generations, this would be a good episode to watch.

Too many people are trying to lead others in discipleship without ever truly walking with them. They’re quick to instruct, but slow to connect. But disciple-making—at its core—is relational. Before you contribute to someone’s spiritual growth, they need to know you’ve spent time with Jesus… and that you actually care about them.
In this episode, Andrew and John unpack a simple but powerful framework: TLC. No, not the 90s band—but the essential relational ingredients for influencing others toward Jesus.
T: Time with Jesus — Do the people you’re leading sense that you walk closely with the Lord? (substance + credibility = fuel)
L: Love for People — Do they feel genuinely known and cared for? (means)
C: Contribution — Only then can you help them grow in faith and obedience. (content + character)
This conversation challenges the idea that training or titles qualify us to disciple others. Instead, it invites us back to the way of Jesus—life-on-life, rooted in love, and shaped by presence.

We are all called to hospitality. Multiple times in Scripture, actually. Hospitality looks different for different people, and for different cultures. Andrew talks to Ryan and Hope Bailey about how they have practiced hospitality in discipleship, and the impact it has had on others, as well as in their own lives.

Going to church should never be the focus. That is not what Jesus called us to. He called us to be His disciples. In this episode, Andrew talks with Shelton Markham about how their church in San Diego is approaching discipleship, and cultivating an environment of disciple making, and becoming a "3D church".

In this summer check-in, Andrew and John reflect on 2 Timothy and how Paul’s words to Timothy speak directly to the heart of every disciple-maker. The two themes we highlight in this episode—clarity and commitment—are core to the work of Into the Harvest and essential for generational disciple-making.
We're excited to announce new resources for you all, as well as a new podcast rhythm. You won't want to miss this episode if you want to stay in the loop with ITH and our newest tools, you need a mid-year reset on your disciple-making vision, or you want to know how ITH is adapting to serve disciple-makers more efficiently.

Is reciting Scripture and telling yourself to stop believing lies not bringing breakthrough in your life? That's probably because it's an incomplete view of the path to wholeness.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marcus Warner to discuss his latest book Breakthrough: 5 Essential Strategies for Freedom, Healing, and Wholeness. You’ll hear about the BUILD model—a practical and powerful framework for transformation—and how it can bring real breakthrough in your spiritual life, relationships, and disciple-making journey.
Whether you’re an everyday disciple-maker or someone seeking freedom from long-standing struggles, this conversation will offer hope, clarity, and next steps.

"The modern Church functions more as an organization than a family". A bold statement made by Michel Hendricks (which we agree with, by the way). In this episode, John has a conversation with Michel about why most discipleship relationships don't stick, and how to fix it. Spoiler alert: it doesn't have to do with knowledge, or tools, or good preaching.
Michel Hendricks is the co-author of The Other Half of Church and a discipleship trainer with Life Model Works. He has years of experience helping churches and leaders implement relational, brain-based spiritual formation rooted in joy, love, and identity in Christ.

In this episode, we talk with Josh Howard about his role with Discipleship.org and his heart to unleash every believer for the work of making disciples. Everyday people are the key to seeing the kingdom advance and it turns out Jesus plan' of multiplication is the key to seeing the nations reached!
Josh Howard has been a pivotal figure in global disciple-making movements, with a particular focus on South Asia. Since 2008, he has dedicated himself to spreading the Kingdom of God by raising disciples who make disciples, leaders who develop leaders, and churches that plant churches. In his role at Central India Christian Mission (CICM), Josh oversees the church planting school, preparing church planters to venture into unreached areas across India and neighboring countries. In 2015, he launched "Ignite," a ministry that has remarkably started over 16,000 churches in about eight years through movements of multiplication, including over 8,000 churches in 2022. Currently, Josh serves as the Global Mobilization Catalyst for E3 Partners and as the Director of Vision and Mobilization for Discipleship.org, where he continues to inspire and equip others in the mission of disciple-making. Beyond his ministry work, Josh cherishes time with his family. He and his wife, Lashi, reside in the Indianapolis area with their three children: sons Josiah and Jeremiah, and daughter Zara.

In this episode, we talked about bringing our understanding and practice of discipleship into alignment with what we see in the Bible. We see in Jesus' model that there are three components of disciple making, and in our culture we usually stick with one. Susie Walther helps us walk out what it looks like to incorporate all 3.
Susie Walther is the founder of The Well Training Ministry. As a young woman, she served in the military and committed her life to Christ through the influence of her Army roommate. Susie received much of her early discipleship training through The Navigators and served as associate staff with that ministry for 10 years at Ft. Campbell, KY. Her ministry spans 30 years and counting, and includes leading Bible studies, teaching and equipping, mentoring, speaking at conferences and spiritually coaching Christian women in their ministries. Thousands of women have come through the doors of The Well ministry for Bible study and training, which equip women to more effectively do their own work of ministry in their own spheres of influence.
In this episode:
• Why do we limit discipleship?
• Are the 3 components happening at the same time?
• How have the 3 components looked in your own life?
• Inviting others to the work

Want to grow in your faith? Spiritual vitality includes many things, and living on mission is one of them. Jesus told us to go and make disciples, so why wouldn't that command be something that makes us closer to Him? In this episode, John has a conversation with Matthew Clark about spiritual vitality and missional living, and how they are much more connected than we tend to think they are.
Matthew Clark is a veteran disciple-maker and seasoned U.S. Army Blackhawk pilot. Currently he is dedicated to making disciples in the most remote corners of the world with JAARS, a missionary aviation organization serving to cover the crucial Last Mile of Missions. Matthew is passionate about growing spiritual vitality into every aspect of missional living; believing that true impact comes from a deep unwavering connection with God.
In this episode:
• Spiritual vitality and missional living
• The role of missional living
• Misconceptions of being sent
• Cultivating a missional lifestyle

Ready for an episode that might make you uncomfortable? In this episode, Andrew and John talk about the different expressions of Church, and how each expression reveals a different characteristic of God, and helps us know Him more. We are called to worship God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. And the different expressions of the Church help us love Him with the different parts of ourselves. To be clear: we are talking about the different expressions of Church within Christianity. The different expressions of Church that worship the one true God. We still do not condone worship of any false gods :)
In this episode:
• Our faith backgrounds
• The ways our ideas of God have been malformed
• God's characteristics
• Resources and final thoughts

We in the United States are living in a rapidly growing missionary context. This is important to remember because the way we view evangelism and discipleship matters. There seems to be an understanding of evangelism and discipleship in the Church that puts limitations on both commands. John talks to Brad Briscoe about Bounded vs. Centered Set discipleship, and why those distinctions make a huge difference in our day-to-day discipleship.
Brad Brisco directs strategy development for the North American Mission Board. He holds a doctorate in missional ecclesiology; his thesis focused on assisting existing congregations to transition in a missional direction. He also serves on the national leadership team for Forge America Mission Training Network.
Brad is the co-author of Missional Essentials, a 12-week small group study guide, The Missional Quest: Becoming a Church of the Long Run, Next Door As It Is In Heaven, and Covocational Church Planting. You can connect with him on X @bradleybrisco and find his articles at missionalchurchnetwork.com.

Would the apostle Paul recognize your church? In this episode, John talks with Alan Ch'ng about the different expressions of the Church around the world. One thing remains constant - there needs to be authentic community and an outward-focused mission of making disciples in order to be a healthy church. A difficult combination, but certainly achievable with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Alan Ch'ng is the International Vice President of The Navigators and has decades of experience leading cross-cultural missions and disciple-making efforts around the world. His leadership has shaped The Navigators' global strategy, and his heart for the church as a community of belonging resonates deeply in all of his work.
In this episode:
• Kingdom of God vs. Church
• Church as the primary place of belonging
• Church and it's cultural expressions
• Final thoughts and challenges

We are living in the middle of the largest religious shift in American history - and it's away from the Church. In this episode, Andrew talks with Ian Harber about deconstruction. More specifically, how to walk with someone who is going through deconstruction. Ian, who has gone through a deconstruction process himself, makes the point that at the end of deconstruction, there is always reconstruction. Reconstruction can look like a closer walk with Jesus, or it can look like leaving the faith altogether - or anywhere in between. Ian is author of the new book, Walking Through Deconstruction. He serves as Director of Communications and Marketing for Mere Orthodoxy. He also writes regularly about faith and life in a post-Christian age at his Substack, Back Again. His articles have been featured at The Gospel Coalition and Mere Orthodoxy. He and his family live in Denton, Texas and are members at The Village Church Denton.
In this episode:
• Why Ian wrote the book
• Defining deconstruction
• Why deconstruction is happening
• Reconstruction

Jesus called all believers to make disciples (check Matthew 28:18-20). In the United States in 2025, it is easy to feel like we don't have time to do ministry, or our schedules are too full to give ourselves away to others. In this episode, we discuss two big shifts that can help you make disciples for the rest of your life.
In this episode:
• Different ages and seasons
• Walking as wise, not unwise
• Living an integrated life
• Minister, don't build a ministry

The post #228 – My Raw and Real Church Experience That Changed Everything appeared first on Into the Harvest
Our western Church culture has a habit of going a mile wide and an inch deep. This causes big problems - on a lot of levels - but especially when behavior modification and church attendance do nothing to help our deeper issues. In this episode, John talks with Dr. Marcus Warner about how to bring freedom to the Body of Christ, and how to work toward spiritual and emotional maturity.
Dr. Marcus Warner has served as president of Deeper Walk International since 2006. Marcus earned three degrees from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School – M.Div., Th.M. Old Testament, and D.Min. He has written 16 books on topics ranging from brain science to spiritual warfare including Rare Leadership, The 4 Habits of Joy-Filled Marriages, and Understanding the Wounded Heart. Marcus is a conference speaker and who works with both ministry and corporate groups around the world. A Bible teacher at heart, Marcus has taught Old Testament and Theology as well as serving as a senior pastor for seven years. His passion is taking complex topics and making them practical and accessible for everyone.

The post #223 – Should Christians Celebrate Christmas? appeared first on Into the Harvest
It has been almost two years since we’ve had Abigail Wilson on the show (which we cannot believe). We are thrilled to have her back to talk about her new book: An Invitation to Christmas. It seems like Christmas season is the busiest time of the year, every year. But it can also be a time of deep reflections, and refocusing our eyes on Jesus, as we get ready to celebrate His birth. In her book, Abigail invites us to see how specific promises in the Old Testament about Jesus’ coming, the people who pointed to Him, those who worshipped Him, and how we, today, can pause and still see Him working. Her book is available on Amazon now, so get it while you can!
Abigail Wilson is a native Texan living in Europe with her husband and three children. She spends most of her days Moming her kids and her kid’s friends whenever needed, navigating her way down Europe’s stupidly small roads, folding endless laundry, and decorating her house for every possible holiday. However, teaching Bible studies and writing are her passions, and while this is her first published devotional, it feels like it has been something she’s been working on her whole life. You can also read her memoir on loss and finding hope amid seasons of waiting, The Day Between: A Memoir of Miracles, on Kindle and paperback. Contact Abigail at substack.com@abigailsday

The post #222 – Top 5 Discipleship Threats In America appeared first on Into the Harvest
There is a reason that in Philippians 4:6, Paul tells us to present our requests to God, with thanksgiving. It is not because God is an ego-maniac who needs to be acknowledged for everything He does (although He really should be acknowledged for everything He does, because without Him, we wouldn't be breathing).
God knows that gratitude changes everything. It changes us, and it changes the world around us. He does everything for our best interest, and telling us to practice gratitude is no different. We love having Shelton Markham on, and this episode can be filed under the "gems from Shelton" folder. At the end of the episode, he and Andrew give us some practical tools for being thankful, and you don't want to miss those.

The post #221 – Want to Change Your Life? Gratitude is the Answer appeared first on Into the Harvest
We can have hope always, especially through loss and death, because Jesus is coming back for His people - both dead in the body, and still walking the earth.
This is the end of our study of 1 Thessalonians, and Paul waits to the end to really bring home that Jesus IS returning, and that should give us hope, and also give us motivation and direction about living while we are on earth.

The post #220 – What Happens When Jesus Returns For His People? appeared first on Into the Harvest
1 Thessalonians 4.1-12 may be brief, but it is packed with useful information for anyone who wants to be a disciple maker. Paul explains the importance of not letting our own desires control our lives, and how, if we can control our bodies, we will be able to love others deeply. Andrew and John loved unpacking this passage, and we know you'll love it too!

The post #219 – Two Powerful Ways to Live a Life that Pleases God appeared first on Into the Harvest
Justin Gravitt is back on the show, and we are thrilled to talk to him about how to change culture (specifically church culture) the way Jesus did. There are a lot of motivations that go into discipleship programs in a church, but only a few of them are biblical. Check out Justin's book The Foundation of a Disciple Making Culture for some great insight on this!
Justin Gravitt is a disciple-making leader and writer whose primary passion is to help everyday believers repurpose their lives in light of God‘s plan for them as disciple-makers. Justin has served with The Navigators since 2000, and is the founder and executive Director of the Dayton Disciple Makers Network, host to the popular Practitioner’s Podcast, and author of The Foundation of a Disciplemaking Culture . He is an avid Reds fan, loves the beach, and dad-joking his kids. He lives in Dayton, Ohio with his wife, Kristen and their four children.

The post #217 – A Visit From Timothy appeared first on Into the Harvest
We're back this week with 1 Thessalonians 2! In chapter 2, Paul talks about not just what he said to the Thessalonians, but how he lived among them. There is a cost to making disciples, and Paul was very familiar with that cost. Does the way we make disciples today reflect the way Paul did? More importantly, does the way we make disciples today reflect Jesus?

The post #214 – BIG NEWS!! Introducing The Pathway Series appeared first on Into the Harvest
Discipleship is a term that is quite frequently thrown around in our church culture today. But how does Jesus view discipleship? And how did Jesus do discipleship when He was walking on earth? John interviews Justin Gravitt to talk about 7 tests of discipleship to determine if we are actually helping people become more like Jesus.
Justin Gravitt is a disciple-making leader and writer whose primary passion is to help everyday believers repurpose their lives in light of God‘s plan for them as disciple-makers. Justin has served with The Navigators since 2000, and is the founder and executive Director of the Dayton Disciple Makers Network, host to the popular Practitioner’s Podcast, and author of The Foundation of a Disciplemaking Culture . He is an avid Reds fan, loves the beach, and dad-joking his kids. He lives in Dayton, Ohio with his wife, Kristen and their four children.
Both Justin and John have a lot of wisdom that we can all glean from. Unfortunately, they both root for the wrong football team, and we're not letting that "O-H" chant slide. #wearepennstate

The post #213- Justin Gravitt: How to Make Disciples – 7 Tests appeared first on Into the Harvest
How we think of ourselves matters more than we probably realize. Our view of ourselves shapes the way we see God, and others, and it affects our actions everyday. There is an enemy out to steal, kill, and destroy our view of ourselves because he knows that if he can lie to us about who we are, he can lie to us about a legion of other things. In this episode, John had the pleasure of interviewing his wife Jess about identity in Christ. Jess is a Bible teacher and a mom, and has created a great tool to help us understand the importance of our identity.

Being discipled and making disciples looks different in different seasons of life. In this episode, Andrew has a conversation with Renée Sproles about the different phases of a woman's life, how she can be seeking God, being discipled, and discipling others in each season.
Renée was born and raised in middle Tennessee. She and her husband, David, have been married for over 30-years and have two adult children, Emma and Houston. As a homeschool mom of two grown children, it’s probably no surprise that she loves to teach. She and David have been co-teaching parenting classes for over 25 years. And they currently teach a weekly marriage and family class at their local church.

The post #200 – How To Join Jesus in His Mission appeared first on Into the Harvest
Danny Perez wrote a great book titled Intensive Care Units. In it, he talks about how important it is for us as Christians to grow into Christ together. We are created for connection, and the only way to become mature in Christ is to do it together. And if we think we're becoming mature in Christ, but our love for people isn't growing, we are not becoming mature in the Jesus of the Bible.
Danny and his wife, Kathryn, have been serving and loving military members and their families with Cadence International since 1984. Their lives are filled with people: loving, encouraging, mentoring, caring for and coming alongside them as they grow towards maturity. They offer the body of Christ a healthy dose of transparency and laughter while pursuing the lost and building up the believer. Danny has a Masters in Biblical Counseling from Colorado Christian University. They have been married since 1988 and are the parents of four grown men and grandparents of two adorable grandchildren. Danny is known for his puns and love of games.

Neil has been married for over forty years to his wife Dana. They have three adult children and six grandkids.

The post #194 – Thoroughly Equipped: Titus Intro And Overview appeared first on Into the Harvest
In part 2 of our Thoroughly Equipped Series, John talks to JR Ovens about how to engage daily with Jesus. In other words, the importance of having a quiet time, and letting Jesus examine your life daily. Coming in April, we will be doing a study of Titus - taking a deep dive into studying the Bible, and us examining God - so we thought we'd cover the importance of letting Him examine us, too.
JR is a husband and a father of five awesome kids. He is a retired Special Forces soldier and currently works as a part time Physicians Assistant in order to spend most of his time being faithful to his family and making disciples. JR is a gifted evangelist and anyone who spends time with him will see his passion for sharing the good news of Jesus. He and his wife Ashley along with their entire family host a home study weekly and are actively engaged in making disciples of the next generation.

The Bible says that we are to teach our children diligently the words God commands us. That is admittedly tricky when our culture is screaming at them to "live their truth" and essentially, be their own God.
So, in this episode, Andrew interviewed Jennifer Beitel who recently began a ministry called UNITED Next Gen with the goal of helping to provide clarity in cultural issues on a worldview level and to encourage intentional discipleship within the home.
After running parent book groups studying topics like biblical sexuality and biblical versus social justice, she enrolled in the Colson Fellows program in 2021 and became a commissioned Colson Fellow of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview in 2022, launching UNITED shortly after.
In this episode:
• A more accurate view of Christianity
• Teaching our kids how to think
• Tactical ways to start a parent book club
• Greatest challenges for today's parents
• Resources for parents and church leaders

The post #167 – Jim Cameron: Rooting Ourselves in the Grand Story of God appeared first on Into the Harvest
True faith for a Christian means you believe in, belong to, and are becoming like Jesus. But the path to that third item – becoming like Jesus, can seem mysterious to many of us.
Becoming like Jesus involves maturing in our faith. Jesus defined spiritual maturity in Luke 6. He told us, “A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.” How do we mature in faith so we become more like Jesus?
Today’s podcast is a talk Andrew recently gave called The Map to Maturity that presents a path you can follow to grow in your faith. Learn more about:
• Misconceptions That Sidetrack Us
• The Starting Point of Your Journey

• Moving Forward to Maturity

There are two ways to miss God. The first is to deny or ignore him outright. The second is to have him out of focus. To spend our time focused on peripheral issues rather than essential truths.
What are the essential truths God wants us to embrace and stay focused on as we live as his people? That's the question we're seeking to answer in a new series called Faith Foundations. And we're starting today by examining the central figure of God's revelation: Jesus Christ.
Hannah Phillips joins Andrew to discuss 4 things about Jesus we need to recognize and respond to. In this episode:
• Rebuilding Faith Foundations
• Getting Jesus Right
• Eternal Son of God
• Lamb of God

Over the past 30 years, I’ve had the chance to observe and learn from people who are highly effective at making disciples. I’ve also spent those years studying Jesus, the most effective disciple-maker of all time.
What are the secret traits these disciplers have that others lack? That’s the focus of a new series we’re doing here on the podcast.
In the coming months, I'll be talking with experienced disciple-makers about traits that often get overlooked when it comes to being effective at training the next generation.
Today I’m joined by John Snyder for a conversation around the first trait we will be spotlighting: the willingness to challenge others and risk the relationship. John has spent the past 20 years making disciples and he’s one of the most effective disciple-makers I know. So it’s a privilege to have him on the show and to get his thoughts on this topic.

Writers like Jude, Paul, and Peter warned the early church against false prophets -- wolves who would come into the church dressed like sheep and introduce new teachings contrary to what the apostles had received from Jesus.
The apostle Paul says the goal of these false teachers is to draw away people after themselves. As it was then, so it is now.

Marriage has been part of God’s plan for humanity from the beginning. It was God who made us male and female and God who said “a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
While two becoming one sounds romantic, in reality it’s often a painful process that God uses to reshape our perspective, our character, and our values. Meanwhile, sin and the fall have greatly damaged us and our understanding and practice of marriage. Is there any hope?

Rob is a chaplain with the US Army and is currently serving in the Middle East. He is a priest in the Anglican tradition, serving with the Anglican Church in North America. He is passionate about helping people follow Jesus and connecting them with the Gospel-centered, sacramental life of the Church.

Making mistakes in how we represent Jesus comes at a higher price in the age of social media. More eyes are watching, whether we realize it or not. We should stand for truth in the public square. But we need to do it in a way that honors our Lord and that is winsome to those watching and listening.
That's where the fine art of Christian mockery comes in. Is it possible to laugh at our enemies and love them?

Who am I? How do I determine right from wrong? How can I find meaning and fulfillment in life? God's scripture helps us answer these questions, but so does the culture we are part of. The challenge for a disciple is to be shaped by God's truth rather than culture's trends.

The post #147 – Should You Have a Plan or Program for Making Disciples? appeared first on Into the Harvest
Some of the most shocking statements of Jesus are found in his teachings about forgiving others. Yet often we as his followers ignore or make excuses for why we don't need to obey his teaching to forgive. What did Jesus really teach about forgiving others? How can we forgive those who have deeply wronged us? How do you forgive when it seems impossible?
Shelton Markham joins Andrew to talk about what forgiveness is -- and isn't -- and how we can better practice what Jesus taught. They discuss:
• What Jesus Actually Taught
• What Forgiveness Is -- and Isn't
• How Forgiveness Is An Event and Process
• The Role of Prayer and Community

What does it take to live faithfully for a lifetime?

The post #143 – Brad Palm: Trusting God In Your Darkest Hours appeared first on Into the Harvest
The gospel is God's message of good news concerning his son, Jesus: Who he is, what he has done, what he is doing, what he will do... and how we can be part of it.
Yet it's easy for our lives to drift from this message. Or to add other ideas and ingredients into what we call "the gospel".
On today's show Andrew and Shelton talk about why we need to be faithful to the gospel in 3 specific ways:
1) getting the Content right
2) allowing it to Configure our way of thinking and living
3) learning how to Communicate it more effectively to others

The post #84 – Biggest Lessons Learned in 2020 (So Far!) appeared first on Into the Harvest
Are Christians in America getting sucked into a conversation about race that is being driven by culture rather than the gospel? How do we allow kingdom principles to guide our view on this subject rather than emotions or political pressures?
Andrew is joined by Patriece Johnson to discuss these question and more on this week's show.
Patriece has over 20 years of experience making disciples in the everyday places and has also served in leadership roles within her organization, The Navigators, including their Military Leadership Team, Cultural Development Team, African-American Network Leadership Team, and National Leadership Team Council.

Susie Walther is founder of The Well Training Ministry in Tampa, FL. She has a passion for seeing women come to faith, grow to maturity as followers of Jesus and be trained so that they become kingdom difference makers in their families, their churches and their communities.
But throughout history the church has often lacked a purposeful vision for developing women to follow Jesus and be part of his mission of making disciples. On today’s show we talk about some of the reasons for this and some unique challenges involved in training women for ministry.

Today we're joined on the podcast by Steve Magee to talk about temptation, sexuality and freedom in Christ.
It’s not an overstatement to say the church is in crisis when it comes to this topic. To take just one example, the destructive force of pornography is at epidemic levels in our society today... and inside the church. Statistics show that 68 percent of church-going men and over 50 percent of pastors view porn on a regular basis. It is the silent killer of our devotion to Jesus.
But today’s show is about more than just pornography and it's a conversation that is relevant to both men and women. What are the roots of a healthy sexuality and what does it mean to experience freedom in Christ?
Give a listen and then let us know what you think. Visit our FB page and join the conversation in the comments under the post for this episode.

It’s easy for us to buy into the idea that bigger is always better. But is this the way of Jesus? Is it the way of the apostles we read about in the NT? We hope to convince you that the best way to make a difference in the world is to go small and learn to focus on a few. To follow the model of Jesus himself.

This is no small thing. The 30s may be the make-or-break decade for followers of Jesus in terms of whether or not they will live a lifetime of being fully devoted to Jesus. Many people start well in their faith, but very few finish strong, and it's in their 30s that many believers lose their way.

Frank Viola is an author, speaker and thought leader for the church in the 21st century. I recently had a chance to talk with him about his latest book, Insurgence: Reclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom.
We cover a lot of ground in this conversation, including exposing popular myths and misconceptions Christians have about the kingdom of God, why we should seek to understand the kingdom by describing it rather than defining it, and how a compelling vision of Jesus is what will ultimately fuel our devotion to him.
You can find Frank's book Insurgence on Amazon. I would encourage you to pick up a copy. He also has a website dedicated to the book that's worth checking out.
Click here to visit his blog, which is loaded with many amazing resources.
He also launched a new YouTube Channel that has tons of content.

Today's bonus audio is the first talk in that series and it's all about Committing to Christ. The writer of Proverbs had it right when he pointed out that "Many claim to be loyal, but who can find a person who is truly committed?"

A few months back I sat down with Matt for a conversation centered around technology and specifically social media. We talked about opportunities and challenges that technology has presented the church in the 21st century. And we spent some time discussing how all of us as everyday believers can be more mindful of how we live our faith throughout the week, especially when it comes to how we interact on social media.
This was a fun conversation! Hope you enjoy and get a lot of value from it.

From the earliest days of the church, writers like Jude and apostles like Paul warned against false prophets, wolves who would come into the church dressed like sheep and who would introduce new teachings that were contrary to what the apostles had delivered from Jesus.
Paul says that the goal of these false teachers is to draw away people after themselves.

Today's bonus audio is a keynote I gave back in 2009. From the outset, people have struggled to figure out who Jesus is. Even when he was walking the earth, people had different opinions about him. In John 7 we read that some people thought he was a good man while others believed he was leading the people astray.
Who is Jesus, and what difference does it make for you?
