Doable Discipleship

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the vast amount of Bibles to choose from, whether at a bookstore or on a Bible app? Why are there so many translations? Is one better than the others? Which one is right for me? These questions can be difficult to navigate, so today host Jason Wieland is joined by Tom Holladay, former Saddleback Church Teaching Pastor, to talk about all things related to Bible translations. The conversation talks about the pertinent questions to ask when choosing a Bible, how translations are made, the difference between translations, and where the King James Version fits into all of this.

Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by the Saddleback Spiritual Growth Team. It premiered in 2017 and now offers more than 300 episodes. Episodes release every Tuesday on your favorite podcast app and on the Saddleback Church YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/saddleback).

Saddleback Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by Bayside Church Teaching Pastor/Rapper Brannon Shortt. Storytelling is one of the oldest and most-used forms of communication in human history. We use stories to teach lessons to little kids (think Aesop’s fables or fairy tales) and we continue to learn from stories as adults (think of the great works of literature, film, music). 

Another place we often hear stories is during church. We don’t just hear or read the stories from the Bible, but preachers often incorporate stories into their sermons as a way to highlight a point or provide context for what they are teaching. Today’s guest, Brannon Shortt, is a preacher, rapper, and candlemaker. Brannon was a pastor at Saddleback Church before moving to Northern California where he now serves as a Teaching Pastor at Bayside Church and recently released a new album titled The Attic under his musical artist name, BShortt. In this conversation, Brannon and Jason talk about the power of story and how we can share our faith in many different ways.

Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by Saddleback Spiritual Growth Pastors Brandon Bathauer and Linda Tokar for a Books of the Bible Draft. It’s the time of year when many people do their fantasy football drafts. Here on Doable Discipleship, we draft too – just in a different way. In 2022 we did a People of the Bible Draft and this year we set our sights on the Books of the Bible. The premise: Which 5 books of the Bible would you want if you were stranded on a deserted island. The twist: this year we introduce categories. Each person has to draft 1 book from each of the following categories: Old Testament (non-prophet), Major Prophet, Minor Prophet, Gospel, and New Testament (non-Gospel). Once a book is selected, it cannot be chosen by another person. This is a really fun episode that takes a good look at some of your favorite books of the Bible.
