Your church likely has kids and student ministries where kids can go to learn about God. Adults often say we’re grateful for those pastors and then continue on focusing on our own church experience. There is something missing in the way that we think about the next generation. There’s not just an opportunity, but a necessity, to be intentional toward and praying for the next generation. Kids and students are not just the future church, they are the church of now and they will face challenges and trials as they continue to grow in their faith, but they also will see wonderful opportunities and powerful experiences. How can we be entering into prayer on their behalf? How can we be lifting up the next generation?  In today's Rewind episode, originally released June 13, 2023, host Jason Wieland talks with Kendall Hibiske about why we must pray for the next generation. This is a powerful conversation about how we should view the next generation, our role in prayer, and where the two meet. The conversation looks at the power of intergenerational prayer, what we can be learning from the younger generation, how our prayer lives can and do change, and some ways we can specifically be praying for the next generation.

Why We Must Pray for the Next Generation - Rewind

There’s a little book in the New Testament that doesn’t get as much love as it should. The book is Philemon – it’s a letter from Paul to a man named Philemon whose slave, Onesimus had runaway but was led to Christ by Paul. It’s a beautiful picture of reconciliation – and helpful for us as we think about how to better reconcile relationships. We know that relationships come with all sorts of difficulties, but there are also biblical ways to maintain healthy relationships and reconcile them when they break or run into difficulty.  For today's episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Bryan Loritts, teaching pastor at Summit Church in North Carolina and author of the new book, Enduring Friendship: Sticking Together in an Age of Unfriending. In this episode, Bryan and Jason talk about why it’s hard to maintain friendships, God’s message through the book of Philemon, and how to live out a healthy relationship through Truth, Repentence, and Grace.  Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland.

An Encouragement for Moms

Do you ever have issues loving somebody else? There are be many reasons why relationships can be difficult – you’re probably already thinking of them . . . and maybe even thinking about the specific people you’re having a difficult time with. There are many ways to talk about relationship advice, but today we are going to focus on a different approach – one that we haven’t talked about before. In this episode we will talk about the metaphor that we see in the Bible as the church being the bride of Christ – and how this image impacts our relationships.  In today's episode of Doable Discipleship, host Jason Wieland is joined by Vermon Pierre, pastor of Roosevelt Community Church in Phoenix Arizona and author of the new book, Dearly Beloved: How God’s Love for His Church Deepens Our Love For Each Other. In this conversation, Jason and Vermon talk about how cultural tendencies are making it easier for people to live separately from one another, what the biblical metaphor for marriage means, some ways that we can live a beloved life, and more.  Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland.
