Why do all serious players on any team have a coach, and why might all serious disciple-makers also need a coach? Life and ministry accelerate when you have someone help you call plays and develop strategies as you make disciples and live out this amazing Kingdom life.

This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll hear from some folks who have engaged with being coached and the difference it is making in their marriages, families, and communities as they press into a lifestyle of discipleship and mission in everyday life.

• Several examples of coaches and coaching relationships in the Bible.
• What the actual functions and rhythms of a healthy coaching relationship look like.

There was a time when neighbors knew each other’s names… when children and old folks in the neighborhood had more than their families looking out for them. What happened?

This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk with author, Lance Ford, as we ask the question: can you really love your neighbor as much as you love yourself?

We live in an age when it feels like we have very little time for new and trusting relationships–and it’s hard to trust people! So we tend to isolate or stick closer to home and keep to ourselves. But people are dying for real relationship, and isolation only breeds further distrust.

Maybe it’s time to change the narrative.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What the Bible really says about loving your neighbor.
• What we have lost as a society through hiding away and loving ourselves.
• Why incarnational presence is the “Jesus Model” for loving your neighbor.
• Practical steps to restoring our neighborhoods to become communities filled with love and redemption.
