Doable Discipleship

Saddleback Teaching Pastor Stacie Wood joins Spiritual Growth Pastors Jason Wieland and Linda Tokar for a conversation on how to engage in a deeper practice of Bible study. Stacie recently preached a message at Saddleback called “The Sword and the Spirit” which talked about the importance of being devoted to the Bible and dependent on the Holy Spirit. In this message, she noted that she wanted to share additional information on how we can pursue deeper Bible study, but didn’t have time in her message so this episode of Doable Discipleship fills that need. Stacie talks about her background with Bible study, why people may have a hard time diving into Scripture, and how the Holy Spirit works with us as we read. The conversation then talks about good resources available for people who are new to Bible study, as well as resources for people who are looking for more advanced Bible study. Look at the show notes for links to Stacie’s sermon and all resources talked about during the episode.

Description: In this episode of Doable Discipleship, Linda Tokar and Brandon Bathauer from the Saddleback Spiritual Growth Team talk about a unique relationship that we all find ourselves in: neighboring. We all have neighbors, and yet often we don’t think intentionally about how to approach the relationships with our neighbors. This episode looks at what the Bible says about neighboring, why it’s important to be intentional about these relationships, and some tips for how we can approach the art of neighboring.

Jason Wieland and Linda Tokar from the Saddleback Spiritual Growth team are joined by Buddy Owens for a conversation on spiritual warfare. Buddy talks through what spiritual warfare means, what the Bible says about it, and how we are called to participate in it. He discusses our identity in Christ, the importance of what it means to have Christ’s authority, and how these truths mean we do not have to live in fear even while in a spiritual battle. Buddy looks at the power of prayer as a strategy for spiritual warfare and provides some resource suggestions for people who want to learn more.

Jason Wieland and Linda Tokar from the Saddleback Spiritual Growth team are joined by Saddleback Celebrate Recovery’s Meaghan Grider to talk about everyone’s favorite topic: confession. Many people are raised to believe in the rigid responsibility of confession, or approach the idea with a lot of fear and trepidation. Meaghan breaks down why confession is one of the most powerful spiritual practices and one that can lead to a life of joy and fullness. The conversation looks at what the Bible says about confession, how confession is a relational exercise between us and God and us and others, and the importance of finding the right people to have a confession relationship with. The episode ends with an explanation of Celebrate Recovery and the importance of remembering your true identity.
