In this episode of the Luminous Podcast, Jamie, Danny, and Nick talk about the most important factor to see transformation in our life.

In this episode of the Luminous Podcast, Jamie, Danny, and Nick talk about the need to deculturalize the gospel from our Western Evangelical understanding of how to do church (money, buildings, and programs), and give the Holy Spirit freedom to form new followers of Jesus in the way that best fits their culture.

In this inaugural episode of the Luminous Podcast, Jamie, Danny, and Nick introduce the concept of "disciple-making ministry" (DMM) and unpack some of the perspective shifts that need to happen in order to move away from the traditional, modern idea of "evangelism" and embrace something much more simple and authentic to the call of Jesus.
