SS02 / EP20 – With all the different serving and ministry opportunities available to the 21st-century church, it can be overwhelming to navigate. Should we start this ministry/group/class because it meets x or y needs? Where’s the line between what’s a good idea for my whole church and what’s a great idea for me personally? In the season 2 finale, Pastor Micah has a conversation with Erin, Michelle, and Ben to help us all understand that we are all more than equipped to fulfill the mission God has given His church.

SS02 / EP19 – It’s often said that simple does not mean easy - in fact, to keep something simple is often hard work! This is also the case when it comes to discipleship in the local church. It’s pretty simple - but it’s not easy for everyone to do. Over the years, Gospel City has had a burden to deepen our discipleship while not overcomplicating it. Listen in on this episode as Pastor Mitch, Erin, and Ben talk through the simple (but not easy) discipleship process.

SS02 / EP18 – When Steve Jobs resumed his role at Apple in 1997 he is famously known for saying “Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.” before reducing the Apple product line by 70%. The church should be thinking the same way when it comes to the tangible ways we help our people become disciples of Jesus. There are a lot of good things we can do, so how do we decide what we should be doing? Pastor Micah sits down with Michelle, Erin, and Ben for a conversation on how discipleship strategies can and should be simple (while they may not be easy).
