We did an immersion—so was the juice worth the squeeze? In this episode, Mark and Dave debrief what really happened at the UPNA Conference and the first Covo Multipliers Immersion in Oklahoma City. You’ll hear what clicked for everyday covocational marketplace leaders, the lessons from failure and success, and why immersion may be the missing piece for breakthrough.

Does immersion actually work to pass along vision and ownership?...here’s our honest take.

What if grace is more than pardon—and actually the power that fuels multiplication? In this episode, Justus, a young professional leader in Oklahoma City, unpacks 2 Timothy 2:1–7 and shows how grace strengthens believers like fuel in an engine. Through vivid stories, soldier-athlete-farmer analogies, and real-life failures (like running out of gas on I-40), he reveals how God multiplies small acts of obedience into something far greater. You’ll walk away encouraged to push the pedal of faith and watch God fill the gap with His strength.

Show NotesIn this episode we cover:

• Grace as more than forgiveness—grace as strength.
• How the soldier, athlete, and farmer shape our understanding of endurance.
• Why multiplication requires grace, not just effort.
• Dallas Willard’s insight: Grace is opposed to earning, not effort.
• Personal stories that make the theology tangible (like running out of gas).
• A new original song inspired by this lesson: Burnin’ Grace in Worn Out Boots.

When Jesus stepped into the synagogue at Capernaum, everything the Pharisees thought was stable was suddenly disrupted. In this episode, we explore the clash between positional authority and spiritual authority, and how Jesus’ response reframes leadership for His disciples and for us. You’ll discover why Jesus silenced demons who proclaimed Him as Messiah, how His authority flowed from relationship rather than position, and why power always serves mission—not platform.

This conversation will help you rethink leadership in a way that frees you from striving for influence and instead positions you to walk in Kingdom authority.

Many leaders inherit thriving churches, movements, or teams—but quietly carry the crushing weight of “keeping it all going.”

In this episode, Dave and Mark unpack how spiritual fatherhood frees emerging leaders from simply managing legacy and empowers them to rediscover the first principles that birthed the work in the first place. They explore how Jesus modeled this through essence and execution, how anti-fragility is forged in the muddy realities of doing the work, and why success without first principles always collapses under its own weight.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to sustain momentum without knowing how it was built, this conversation will give you language, hope, and a clear path forward.

Feeling worn down in the grind of discipleship, church, work, or family life? In this episode, Dave and Mark get brutally honest about what it takes to keep going when fatigue, setbacks, and discouragement hit hard.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay faithful for the long haul and actually see fruit multiply, this conversation will hit home.

Most disciple-making efforts stall out not because of lack of passion, but because leaders hit invisible barriers: confidence, competence, or both. In this episode of the H3X Podcast, Mark and Dave unpack why the model + assist phases of the training cycle are the key to overcoming those barriers and turning stuck moments into breakthrough growth. Rather than another polished workshop or theory-heavy training, you’ll hear how real-life immersion—seeing it done and practicing with support—translates vision into action.

Whether you’re launching a hub, equipping your team, or trying to take the next step personally, this conversation will show you how model + assist can move you forward with clarity, courage, and a plan you can actually use.

Discipleship isn’t just about passing on skills—it’s about discerning the art of when to lean in and when to step back. In this episode of the H3X Podcast, Dave and Mark unpack how Jesus modeled both high invitation and high challenge in his relationships, and how that shapes the way we develop leaders today.

You’ll hear stories of what it looks like to disciple leaders over multiple years, and why knowing when to stay close and when to step back is critical for multiplying disciples. By the end, you’ll walk away with practical insights on how to cultivate ownership and maturity in those you’re discipling.

What if multiplication in the Kingdom doesn’t look like efficiency but instead like deep, costly investment? In this episode of the H3X Podcast, Mark and Dave unpack the concept of precision harvesting: how Jesus filtered and invested in the few to see lasting multiplication. They explore why disciple making is inherently “inefficient” and why that’s actually the key to compounding growth over time.

You’ll walk away with a framework for discerning where you are in the process and how habits and rhythms like the three-thirds process can build movements from micro to macro.

What if the fastest way to multiply leaders isn’t another training, but stepping inside an environment where it’s already happening? In this episode, we explore the biblical model in Acts 18–20 and how Paul, Priscilla, and Aquila’s habits and rhythms became the foundation for a multiplying hub.

You’ll hear why immersion—seeing it, experiencing it, and living it alongside others—can accelerate adoption far beyond classroom learning. We also share how you can experience this firsthand at the upcoming Unreached Peoples North America Conference in Oklahoma City.
