At the end of his life, the Apostle Peter wrote one last letter to the church. There were certain things he wanted them to always remember after he was gone. There were also certain qualities he wanted them to live by, and he made some amazing promises to motivate them to do so.

Today’s bonus audio is a message given by my friend and mentor Cecil Bean exploring what Peter had to say to the believers of his day… and to us.

Today’s conversation is the first in a 3-part series we'll be doing on Getting Started in the Harvest. What are 3 major obstacles that keep people from engaging in discipleship and disciple-making... and how can we overcome them? On today's show we tackle the first of those obstacles: Uncertainty.

There are several resources mentioned in this episode. The bonus audio Born to Reproduce can be accessed by clicking the link or you can find the booklets here. If you are interested in getting copies of Robert Coleman's book The Master Plan of Evangelism you can find it at the link.

Today’s bonus audio is the third talk from a series I gave earlier this year on “The Crisis of Commitment: How We Can Seek First the Kingdom in a Me First World”. In the first two talks we covered Committing to Christ and Committing to Community.

Today's talk is about Committing to the Craft: taking seriously the work that Jesus has called us to and learning how to give ourselves fully to it.

Frank Viola is an author, speaker and thought leader for the church in the 21st century. I recently had a chance to talk with him about his latest book, Insurgence: Reclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom.

We cover a lot of ground in this conversation, including exposing popular myths and misconceptions Christians have about the kingdom of God, why we should seek to understand the kingdom by describing it rather than defining it, and how a compelling vision of Jesus is what will ultimately fuel our devotion to him.

You can find Frank's book Insurgence on Amazon. I would encourage you to pick up a copy. He also has a website dedicated to the book that's worth checking out.

Click here to visit his blog, which is loaded with many amazing resources.

He also launched a new YouTube Channel that has tons of content.

Back in August I spoke at a weekend retreat where I gave three talks on “The Crisis of Discipleship: How We Can Seek First the Kingdom in a Me First World”. Today's bonus audio is the second talk in that series and is all about Committing to Community (you can hear the first talk here).

I think this talk will greatly encourage you in your faith. And if it does, please share it with a friend. It’s a simple way you can partner with us to spread the message and mission of Jesus.

Back in August I had the chance to speak at a retreat on discipleship. I gave three talks on "The Crisis of Commitment: How We Can Seek First the Kingdom in a Me First World".

Today's bonus audio is the first talk in that series and it's all about Committing to Christ. The writer of Proverbs had it right when he pointed out that "Many claim to be loyal, but who can find a person who is truly committed?"

I hope you'll listen to this talk but even more that you’ll be one of the few who not only claims to be loyal to Christ, but one who lives out a radical commitment to him in your everyday life.
