  • Today’s conversation is about gentleness. Two weeks ago we started a series on Christian Character with an episode on humility. Today we are going to couple that with a look at gentleness. In Matthew 11:29, Jesus says, “Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” There’s a link here between being humble and being gentle, but they are indeed two distinct characteristics and worth talking about separately. Now, many people may consider gentleness in the same light as soft or weak, but my guest today will put this idea on its head and show the strength that is to be found in gentleness.

    That guest is Buddy Owens – a teaching pastor at Saddleback Church and a fan favorite on this podcast. In this conversation, Buddy and host Jason Wieland talk about what biblical gentleness really looks like, how biblical gentleness compares to what the world says about it, the winsomeness of gentleness, how we need to be extra intentional in an election season, and much more.

  • “The Lord also said to Moses, ‘Give the following instruction to the entire community of Israel. You must be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.'” - Leviticus 19:1-2
    Genesis begins the story of humanity and the God who wanted a family to love and to love him. Exodus offers the first look at the lengths God will go to care for his people on a grand scale. Leviticus, the third book of the Bible, shows us the lengths God will go to care for his people on a personal scale. Leviticus is, ultimately, about relationship – it is a holy God telling the people of Israel how they can be in relationship with him despite the brokenness of sin. It’s an extraordinary book in teaching about who God is and who we are. Now, Leviticus has a reputation of being a rather difficult or tedious book – one that many people skip. But as we navigate through Leviticus, today's guest will make you want to dive into Leviticus head first and see it in a new, exciting way.

    To help us navigate Leviticus, host Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. Jay Sklar, Vice President of Academics and Professor of Old Testament at Covenant Theological Seminary, and author of not one but two commentaries on Leviticus. In this conversation, Jay gives an incredible explanation about why we shouldn’t skip Leviticus but instead see it through new lenses that will make you see the book in a whole new way.

  • “Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.” - Proverbs 18:12. Humility is, without question, an integral part of what is means to be a Christian – a follower of Jesus, as we humbly acknowledge that there is a better way than what I could come up with on my own devices. When we get down into it, humility is an integral part of what it means to be saved – the acknowledgement that I cannot save myself from my sin and the humility to realize that I need a savior. But we have an interesting relationship with humility because the line between genuine and disingenuous humility is so, so thin. Jane Austen said, “Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast.” So what makes biblical humility different and how should humility look in our daily life? What are the marks of a genuinely humble person?

    For this conversation host Jason Wieland is joined by Jamin Goggin, co-author of the books Beloved Dust and The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb. In this conversation, Jamin and Jason talk about what biblical humility is, the stark contrast between humility and pride, how we can be more intentional in our humility especially in this season, humility in leadership, and much more.

  • “Moses protested, ‘If I go to the people of Israel and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?’ God replied to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.’ God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors-the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob-has sent me to you.” - Exodus 3:13-15

    Genesis introduced us to the world and to ourselves. Exodus, the second book of the Old Testament of the Bible, does more to introduce us to God – to he who was, and is, and is to come. To a God so eternal that he identifies himself as I AM, but also a God so personal that he also chooses to identify himself in relation to people – the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Exodus is a book of movement, propelling the true story of God and his people forward in such a way that sets forth not just the rest of the Biblical narrative, but human history up to where we are today. It is in Exodus that we see the baby in the basket, the burning bush, the ten plagues, the first Passover, the parting of the Red Sea, the 10 commandments, and so much more.

    To introduce us to the book of Exodus, host Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. Carmen Joy Imes. Dr. Imes is an Associate Professor of Old Testament at Talbot School of Theology, author of the books Being God’s Image and Bearing God’s Name, and is currently working on a commentary of Exodus.

  • Do you feel you get enough rest in the course of your day or your week? Most people would probably say no – who couldn’t use more rest? What if I were to tell you that you could be at rest right now. Even in the midst of whatever you’re doing at this very moment, you can enjoy rest – the way God intended it. Because true rest is different than what we generally think it means. In fact, we can go all the way back to the story of creation to learn about how God sees rest and how it can completely change the way we view and experience genuine rest.

    In today's episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Rachel Booth Smith, author of the new book Rest Assured. In this conversation Rachel and Jason talk about how what the Bible teaches about rest is different than our typical understanding, the role of intention, the uniqueness of the creation story found in Genesis, the difference between forced and relaxed faith, and much more.

  • “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” With that single sentence, thus unfolds the Bible, the word of God, and the beginning of history. Genesis, the first of 66 books of the Bible, takes the reader on an incredible journey from the creation of the universe to the creation of man to the fall of man to an ark that survives a global flood to a childless man who God promised would have descendants outnumbering the stars to a man who wrestles with God to a young man who goes from being a slave and prisoner to the second in power of all of Egypt. But Genesis isn’t just a series of historic accounts, it is an introduction to who God is, to the Gospel message, and to his never-ending love for us . . . for you. There are themes in Genesis that resonate throughout all of Scripture and truths in this book that can impact your life today.

    For this episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. Andrew Steinmann, a recently retired professor from Concordia University Chicago and author of many books including a commentary on Genesis. In this conversation, Jason and Dr. Steinmann talk about the authorship of Genesis, the narrative flow of Genesis, what Genesis teaches us about God and about humanity, and much more.

  • Have you ever prayed hard for something - maybe for someone to be healed or for a job or for a healed relationship - and you didn't get the answer you were hoping for? Have you felt like God said "no" to your prayer? It can be very difficult for us when our prayers aren't answered the way we hope they would be. But what does this say about God and what does it say about us? How should we approach things when God says no?

    For this episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Saddleback Church Teaching Pastor Buddy Owens to talk about when God says no. Jason and Buddy talk about what we should know about prayer and how it affects what we expect as a response from God, the reality of not understanding all of God's ways, the role of faith and much more.

  • Shame is, without a doubt, one of the most difficult, devastating, negatively impactful, and yet human experiences. We all have felt and will feel shame in our lives – it’s a part of the human story going all the way back to Adam and Eve – and perhaps some of you are in an incredibly difficult spiral of shame right now. But what does shame tell us? We can’t deny the reality of shame, so what does it tell us about who we are, how we think and relate and process, and most importantly about who God is.

    In this episode host Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. Curt Thompson, author of many books including The Soul of Shame and host of the Being Known podcast. In this conversation, Jason and Curt talk about what shame really is, the difference between guilt and shame, the isolating and distancing effects of shame, the hope of grace, living in humility, the beauty of the Gospel as response to shame, and much more.

  • Everyone wrestles with some of the biggest questions in life: If God is good, why do people suffer? Why does God seem so hidden? What does it matter if God exists?

In today's episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Lee Strobel, author of over 40 books and curricula including The Case For Christ and his latest book, Is God Real?. In this conversation, Jason and Lee discuss what questions people are really asking, how to respond to these questions, the current state of the discussion around these big topics, and more.

  • This episode is about theology. Theology can be a big, intimidating topic for some people. Maybe you think theology doesn’t really apply to you, that it's a topic for other people to think about and you’ll just hear about it from your pastor or priest. Well what if we were to tell you that theology is truly, genuinely not scary but instead something so intimately associated with you and who you are that you can think about and exercise theology in your own life. So the question for today is how can I walk the theological life?

    In this episode host Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. Timothy Gaines, associate professor of religion at Trevecca Nazarene University and author of the new book, Walking the Theological Life. In this conversation, Tim and Jason talk about what theology is and why it’s not as scary as it sounds, the difference between living theologically and living secularly, what we can learn about walking theologically through the lives of people in the Bible, and much more.

  • In all of the conversation around identity, relationships, loneliness, doubt, there is a key word. That word is belonging. Belonging is packed with so much meaning because it can impact or influence us personally and relationally. It is a fundamental human need to be known, to feel belonging, but that is true of what you think about yourself as much as it is what you think of your place with others. We’ve talked about identity on this podcast, and we’ve talked about relationships. Today, we’re going to focus on bridging these two topics through reimaging who we are and how we relate.

    In today's episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Sarah Westfall, host of the Human Together podcast and author of the new book "The Way of Belonging." In this conversation, Sarah and Jason talk about the fundamental questions we wrestle with about identity, belonging and relationships, the struggles that try to keep us from feeling rooted in our belonging, how the journey to know God is also a journey to know ourselves, and what it means to reimagine who we are and how we relate.

  • What does it mean to live out of overflow? For so many people, life can feel like it's just coasting by or maybe it's a struggle to get through the day. Maybe you are feeling like you're on empty. What God offers, however, is a life of overflowing. What does that mean? What does that look like? In this episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Saddleback Church Engagement Pastor Meaghan Grider to dive into the question of living out of overflow. Jason and Meaghan talk about inviting overflow, how to navigate dry seasons, what abiding looks like as a means to overflow, how overflow should effect your daily life, and much more.

  • Last year we released an episode of Doable Discipleship called The Burden & Gift of Living. Host Jason Wieland had read a book called On Getting Out of Bed by Alan Noble, and even though we were not able to interview him at the time, Jason needed to talk about this book. No book resonated with and spoke to Jason as deeply as On Getting out of Bed so Jason did his first solo episode of the podcast talking about the book. Well, the topic seemed to strike a chord as in the 6 months since its release, that episode has become one of the most engaged in the history of Doable Discipleship, and the numbers just continue to go up.

    On Getting Out of Bed is a look at the struggles of everyday living and the reality of mental affliction, to the point that some people constantly wrestle with the question of why to even get out of bed. The book is a beautiful essay on the reality of brokenness, the goodness of God, and the hope of healing. Well, today is a day Jason has eagerly awaited.

    In today's episode, Jason is joined by Dr. Alan Noble, author of On Getting Out of Bed. In this conversation, Alan and Jason talk about why the topic of life’s burden speaks to so many people today, how generations approach mental affliction differently, whether or not to openly discuss your own mental afflictions, hope of healing, the role of those who care for those who struggle with mental afflictions, and so so much more.

  • In this Rewind episode of Doable Discipleship, originally released in February 2023, Jason Wieland and Linda Tokar talk with Pastor Buddy Owens about Spiritual Warfare. Buddy talks through what spiritual warfare means, what the Bible says about it, and how we are called to participate in it. He discusses our identity in Christ, the importance of what it means to have Christ’s authority, and how these truths mean we do not have to live in fear even while in a spiritual battle. Buddy looks at the power of prayer as a strategy for spiritual warfare and provides some resource suggestions for people who want to learn more.

  • Your church likely has kids and student ministries where kids can go to learn about God. Adults often say we’re grateful for those pastors and then continue on focusing on our own church experience. There is something missing in the way that we think about the next generation. There’s not just an opportunity, but a necessity, to be intentional toward and praying for the next generation. Kids and students are not just the future church, they are the church of now and they will face challenges and trials as they continue to grow in their faith, but they also will see wonderful opportunities and powerful experiences. How can we be entering into prayer on their behalf? How can we be lifting up the next generation?

    In today's Rewind episode, originally released June 13, 2023, host Jason Wieland talks with Kendall Hibiske about why we must pray for the next generation. This is a powerful conversation about how we should view the next generation, our role in prayer, and where the two meet. The conversation looks at the power of intergenerational prayer, what we can be learning from the younger generation, how our prayer lives can and do change, and some ways we can specifically be praying for the next generation.

  • There’s a little book in the New Testament that doesn’t get as much love as it should. The book is Philemon – it’s a letter from Paul to a man named Philemon whose slave, Onesimus had runaway but was led to Christ by Paul. It’s a beautiful picture of reconciliation – and helpful for us as we think about how to better reconcile relationships. We know that relationships come with all sorts of difficulties, but there are also biblical ways to maintain healthy relationships and reconcile them when they break or run into difficulty.

    For today's episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Bryan Loritts, teaching pastor at Summit Church in North Carolina and author of the new book, Enduring Friendship: Sticking Together in an Age of Unfriending. In this episode, Bryan and Jason talk about why it’s hard to maintain friendships, God’s message through the book of Philemon, and how to live out a healthy relationship through Truth, Repentence, and Grace.
