If we relegate discipleship to preaching and pastoring, we will be stifling the growth of those we're discipling. Jesus modeled a kind of parenting with His disciples, and if Jesus did it, it's good enough for us. In this episode, Andrew and John talk about the different models of discipleship, and the importance of all of them. They introduce a new acronym - The 3 P's - because they're Andrew and John and they love the acronyms ;)

Using tools is not discipleship. But discipleship is easier if we utilize tools. In this episode, Andrew talks to Jim McKnight about the importance of having tools, some of their favorite discipleship tools, and warnings about relying too much on them. If you're a disciple-maker and wanting to see generations, this would be a good episode to watch.

Too many people are trying to lead others in discipleship without ever truly walking with them. They’re quick to instruct, but slow to connect. But disciple-making—at its core—is relational. Before you contribute to someone’s spiritual growth, they need to know you’ve spent time with Jesus… and that you actually care about them.

In this episode, Andrew and John unpack a simple but powerful framework: TLC. No, not the 90s band—but the essential relational ingredients for influencing others toward Jesus.

T: Time with Jesus — Do the people you’re leading sense that you walk closely with the Lord? (substance + credibility = fuel)

L: Love for People — Do they feel genuinely known and cared for? (means)

C: Contribution — Only then can you help them grow in faith and obedience. (content + character)

This conversation challenges the idea that training or titles qualify us to disciple others. Instead, it invites us back to the way of Jesus—life-on-life, rooted in love, and shaped by presence.

We are all called to hospitality. Multiple times in Scripture, actually. Hospitality looks different for different people, and for different cultures. Andrew talks to Ryan and Hope Bailey about how they have practiced hospitality in discipleship, and the impact it has had on others, as well as in their own lives.

Going to church should never be the focus. That is not what Jesus called us to. He called us to be His disciples. In this episode, Andrew talks with Shelton Markham about how their church in San Diego is approaching discipleship, and cultivating an environment of disciple making, and becoming a "3D church".

Is reciting Scripture and telling yourself to stop believing lies not bringing breakthrough in your life? That's probably because it's an incomplete view of the path to wholeness.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marcus Warner to discuss his latest book Breakthrough: 5 Essential Strategies for Freedom, Healing, and Wholeness. You’ll hear about the BUILD model—a practical and powerful framework for transformation—and how it can bring real breakthrough in your spiritual life, relationships, and disciple-making journey.

Whether you’re an everyday disciple-maker or someone seeking freedom from long-standing struggles, this conversation will offer hope, clarity, and next steps.

"The modern Church functions more as an organization than a family". A bold statement made by Michel Hendricks (which we agree with, by the way). In this episode, John has a conversation with Michel about why most discipleship relationships don't stick, and how to fix it. Spoiler alert: it doesn't have to do with knowledge, or tools, or good preaching.

Michel Hendricks is the co-author of The Other Half of Church and a discipleship trainer with Life Model Works. He has years of experience helping churches and leaders implement relational, brain-based spiritual formation rooted in joy, love, and identity in Christ.
