Discipleship Leaders Podcast – Episode 30

Discipling Your People More Than the World

Leader Training Recap with Jay & Amy

In this episode, Jay and Amy recap key insights from this year’s D-Group Leader Trainings across Fellowship Bible Church campuses. The focus is on a growing challenge many leaders face: helping people recognize when they are being discipled more by the world than by Scripture.

Drawing from Colossians 1:13–14, the conversation explores the difference between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of God—and how subtle, seemingly “Christian” ideas can shape our thinking and living away from biblical truth. Jay and Amy discuss common areas where worldly discipleship often shows up, including self-help spirituality, mysticism, legalism, prosperity theology, and cultural slogans that sound right but aren’t rooted in Scripture.

They also offer practical guidance for leaders on how to lovingly and wisely redirect their groups by:

Helping people know what the Bible says

Helping people understand what the Bible means

Recognizing unhealthy influences

Trusting the Holy Spirit while leading with grace and discernment

Whether you attended the training or not, this episode is designed to equip you to shepherd your group faithfully, grow in confidence as a leader, and help form disciples shaped by God’s Word rather than the world.
