[SPECIAL] Your Gospel Identity – The Foundation

As the Church today, like it or not, there are a lot of things changing and not everyone is happy about it… or sure what to do next.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re sharing Day 2 of the Everyday Disciple Challenge. This is the audio from the Live training we did online. Understanding how our true Identity changes motivations and sends us OUT on mission is key to making disciples in everyday life.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • How God created us in the image of his own triune (three-in-one) nature.
  • What changes when we start to believe what God says is true of us.
  • Why our Gospel Identity puts to death the DO=BE lies we’ve been taught.
  • Practical implications that happen when we help others believe their true identity.

What is Discipleship?

For a long time, the Church has majored in holding worship services and minored in discipleship and mission. Now that the Church has been scattered like never before as we enter into the “new normal”, will we seize the opportunity to restore the balance?

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • The traditional Church approach to discipleship vs. the biblical (Jesus) approach.
  • Why the difference between evangelism and discipleship is so important.
  • How disciples made in community (not in a classroom) are a very different type of Christian.

Conversations: Missional Community Growth

From the outside looking in, missional communities can look very attractive and appear to be a straight line of growth toward multiplication. It is not always so.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Missional communities are messy…but a glorious mess!
  • Why things only seem like they’re moving slowly.
  • You’ve engaged in the most meaningful journey of your life.
  • Why you’ll want to seed multiplication into everything you do.

Conversations: Proactive and Reactive Mission

We will never accidentally disciple someone to maturity in Christ. Discipleship that brings the Gospel to bear in all of life must happen in the rhythms of normal life together. But we often confuse discipleship with being a strong witness of God’s love and character to others.

In this episode, we continue in our Conversations series. You’ll hear a short conversation between two close friends as they take a few minutes to sit and chat about the differences between their proactive and reactive missional opportunities.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • The difference between proactive and reactive mission and opportunities.
  • Several examples of a clearly identified proactive mission.
  • What to do with those who fall outside your proactive mission.
  • Why “witnessing for Jesus” is not our mission!

Conversations: Small Group or Missional Community?

Through the years we’ve seen Christians group themselves into ‘holy huddles’ that leave little room for new friends to join them in meaningful ways. That’s not God’s plan!

In this episode, we continue in the Conversations series. You’ll hear two different conversations: The first is a couple of friends who’ve been in a small group together for quite a while… and the second one is between some couples in a true missional community. They are very different conversations. Pay attention to who and what is the focus of their groups and life together.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Why our traditional ‘small groups’ are not what God intended.
  • 6 important distinctions between small groups and missional communities.
  • God’s amazing hope and desire for his family.
  • A clear illustration of how people in a missional community see their lives on mission.
