Why is there so much confusion about discipleship? In the church we have turned discipleship into a program that must be led by the elite Christian teachers.

What is the deal with discipleship? Why has the church not been very effective at making disciples? In this new series Pastor Bryan dives into all things discipleship. Christians should be known as relational disciple makers. This was the plan that Jesus used in his ministry and what he commanded us to do as his followers (Matthew 28:18-20). Join us on this adventure through what it means to be a disciple and how we can become disciple making multipliers.

According to a Focus on the Family article, “the drop in marital satisfaction after the first baby’s birth is a staggering 42% larger among the current generation of parents than their predecessors.” This combined with a statistic from a Marriage Dynamics article that says, “the divorce rate among couples aged 55-64 has more than double since 1990,” indicates that there are problems in marriages as couples begin to raise children and after they leave the home. Why are there so many marital problems related to raising children? Pastor Bryan & Pastor Alan dive into this topic and discuss what it means to keep your marriage a priority as you raise kids. If you are a parent, you don’t want to miss this episode.

Are you in the business of busy-ness? It’s an easy trap to fall into for a lot of us. Is there a healthy kind of busy in which we can engage? Would you be surprised if the answer is “yes?” Busyness is widespread these days, and as the culture becomes more segmented and the digital and tangible worlds become more enmeshed, we can busy ourselves with things that are really counter productive to our lives. Brian and Bryan springboard off of the ideas in Kevin DeYoung’s book Crazy Busy to discuss what types of things we can busy ourselves with, how we can engage in a healthy type of busyness in our lives, and what our priorities are as Christians. Our prayer is that this timely conversation is a big help to you—especially in the seasons of life where our schedules feel like they’re bursting at the seams!

The Christian life is one of discipleship, but what does that mean?
A disciple is a learner, and the Christian disciple is one who is learning to live a transformed life for Jesus Christ. Jesus called 12 men to himself in order to instruct them on what his kingdom would look like, how his people were to live in light of that kingdom, and the hope of life with the Lord for eternity. The initial group of men that Jesus called (minus Judas) were given the ability to understand all that Jesus taught after his resurrection and receiving the Holy Spirit. Their teaching has been handed down through the Scriptures and faithful preaching ever since.
Bryan and Brian discuss their perspectives on discipleship and the importance of both learning and leading others in the faith once delivered to the saints. They also offer practical steps for being a disciple and making disciples. We pray this is a helpful tool for you and would appreciate your feedback.
