Jake Mason shares what the Seven Spheres are and how they shape the way we live. Jake asks the question, how many of these spheres are shaped by a biblical worldview? He encourages the school to be sure that the things of the world are not influencing us more than our biblical worldview is influencing us. Jake states that believers are meant to disciple the nations and explains that in order to disciple, we must open our mouths and take a stand- not by creating a new system but by walking in the power of the Spirit.

Jake Mason teaches on the four laws of logic, emphasizing the importance of agreeing with the truth of Scripture in our lives.

Jake encourages the school that Scripture is everything and to build our lives upon it, with reverence and the fear of God. Jake ends the podcast by explaining why we trust the Bible as believers.

Derek Mack continues the series Basics Build Leaders, focusing on prayer. We learn that Satan will try every strategy he can to keep us from praying because our effectiveness as Christians is directly related to our prayer lives. Derek emphasizes that bored prayer and religious prayer are both powerless but that prayer can be life altering when we see it as communication with a friend. Derek uses the Biblical example of David to show us that the people who are the most intimate with God, take the most action.

Derek Mack starts a new series called Basics Build Leaders, focusing this week on discipleship. Derek emphasizes that the great sin of western christianity is calling ourselves followers of Christ but not actually following Him. We are given Biblical examples of what it means to give Jesus a hungry "Yes" instead of a passive one, and we learn that when we say "No" to Jesus it effects the salvation and eternity of others around us. We are challenged to evaluate if comfort, excuses, offense or entitlement is getting in the way of truly following Jesus.

Zach encourages the school to expand their mindsets from "doing a DTS" to realizing God is writing a much larger storyline. Zach touches on the mantle of field evangelism falling on Circuit Riders, what faith can look like and the joy that comes with laying our life down to see the revival Jesus is creating.

Chase Cofer shares the storyline of Circuit Riders and YWAM. He emphasizes the importance of knowing your story and how it intertwines with what you are a part of. Chase encourages the school to keep giving their yes to Jesus, highlighting that we will never know what can come of our simple acts of obedience. Chase explains that expansion of the Kingdom comes when we say yes. He then highlights the importance of servant heartedness, telling the story of Jesus washing the disciples feet. Chase encourages the school to remain in the active love of Christ and ends his time by sharing how he and his wife Lindy said yes to adoption.

Chase Cofer shares his story of how doing a DTS (Discipleship Training School) through YWAM changed his life. He shares his ability to find deeper intimacy and friendship with Jesus through this unique time in his life, encouraging the school to go after the same thing. Chase emphasizes the importance of diving head first into the active love of Christ, explaining how it will allow the Lord to do the most in our lives. Chase says the key to deeper transformation is to be undone at who Jesus is and concludes his time with a prayer for a deeper love encounter.
