Making disciples does not mean getting people to pray a prayer and tick a box on belief. It means immersing them in the character of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the way you live — and then teaching them the patterns of life that flow out of believing the right things. This episode reframes the Great Commission from the ground up and makes the case that you are the only Jesus some people will ever see.

In this episode:

• Adrenaline vs. anointing — and how easily we confuse them
• Why the early church was seen as a philosophy not a religion — and why that distinction matters
• The prize is not a crowd — pizza gets people to show up, but that is not discipleship
• Jesus chose the shepherd as the primary metaphor for leadership for a reason
• Angela's experience of being thrown on stages before being rooted in a local church
• The only Jesus people will ever see is the one you represent — do they fall in love?
• What Matthew 28 actually means — soaking people in the character of the Trinity by how you live
