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 sc

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 mi

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 passio

Enjoy! In this episode: • One lesson Jesus has taught you recently • What would you say to someone who thinks disciple-making is only for church leaders? • How do you balance being a disciple and making disciples in the busyness of life? • What is one scripture that has shaped the way you live as a disciple?

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 i

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

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

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

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.

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 t
