Let's explore a fascinating tension in Paul's ministry at Ephesus, where slowing down to invest deeply in a few leaders actually accelerated the spread of the gospel throughout Asia Minor.

Through conversations about passages like this, along with discipleship, and the pattern of Jesus, hosts Mark and Dave wrestle with how modern ministry leaders can balance the pressure for rapid expansion with the patient work of developing mature disciples.

They unpack why "taking as long as it takes" to develop leaders might be the counter-intuitive key to sustainable movement growth.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What if the Kingdom of God doesn’t allow for plateaus? In this episode, we explore what it means to follow Jesus without settling — even when the path is unclear and others question your choices.

In this episode, we explore how to transform fleeting bursts of motivation into lasting, life-changing habits. What if the secret to sustainable growth lies not in the big highs but in the small, consistent steps? Join us as we dive into practical ways to find joy in the process and unlock the power of long-term impact.
