We all wrestle with the tension: If I’m serving God, shouldn’t life go better? In this episode, we explore what faith really is, what lies at the center of it, and why our motivation to follow Jesus must go deeper than just the blessings we hope for. When things don’t go our way, how do we stay anchored? Join us for a raw, honest conversation about trusting Jesus not for what He gives—but because of who He is, what He’s done, and the eternal hope we’ve been given.

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we explore how Jesus created a culture where the mission wasn’t a task to complete—it was an impulse flowing from the heart. His followers didn’t have to be convinced to reach others; their lives naturally pointed people toward Him. Jesus built a community where everything—conversations, relationships, daily rhythms—carried a missional undercurrent. It wasn’t strategy-driven; it was Spirit-shaped. Join us as we unpack what it means to cultivate that same kind of culture in our churches today, where pointing people to Jesus is simply who we are.

Fear isn’t a flaw—it’s a natural response to power. In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we take a closer look at how fear shapes our lives and why the answer isn’t to eliminate it, but to redirect it toward the One who truly deserves it.

From the fear of failure to the fear of rejection, we all face things that feel bigger than us. But Scripture invites us to live with a different kind of fear—the fear of the Lord—a holy reverence that leads to wisdom, confidence, and freedom.

Join us as we explore how living in the fear of God transforms our worship, strengthens our obedience, and helps us stand firm in a world full of uncertainty.

You were made to fear—just not everything.

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we dive into the tension between progress and perfection. As leaders, we often have a vision for the ideal, but that vision can hinder our ability to see and appreciate the steps that continuously move us toward that ideal. How do we stay passionate about the ultimate goal while celebrating small wins along the way?

We share our personal journeys and how they’ve shaped our passion for the ideal. We’ll also discuss:

• The difference between steady improvement and attempting a full cultural overhaul
• Why strong passion for change can sometimes alienate those we’re trying to reach
• How the principle of both/and helps us balance high standards with practical growth
• Practical ways churches and individual believers can apply this mindset

Join us as we explore how to lead with vision, patience, and grace—moving forward without getting stuck in the pursuit of perfection.

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we explore how disciple-makers can develop a biblical framework for intercessory prayer, modeled after Jesus' own prayers for His followers. Drawing from Scripture, we examine the key themes of Jesus’ intercession—protection, sanctification, unity, and mission—and discuss how these principles can shape our prayers for those we disciple.

Tune in and learn how to align your prayers with the heart of Christ for His disciples!

Have you ever felt stuck between where you were and where God was calling you—like you stepped out in faith, but the destination wasn’t clear? That space of uncertainty, discomfort, and transformation is what we call liminality—and it’s not just a challenge, it’s a necessary stage in God’s process of forming disciples and mobilizing the Church.

In this episode, we explore how liminality is woven throughout Scripture—from Abraham’s journey into the unknown to Israel’s wilderness season and the disciples’ transformation at Pentecost. We’ll also unpack why churches often resist liminality, how avoiding it leads to stagnation, and why embracing it fuels missional momentum.

Join us as we challenge the fear of the in-between and reframe liminality as the birthplace of movement, faith, and Kingdom impact. Where is God calling you to step into the unknown? Let’s dive in and discover why the space between the past and the promise is exactly where transformation happens.

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we explore the transformative journey of following Jesus—not just as a belief system, but as a way of life. Discipleship is more than knowledge; it's an invitation to apprenticeship with Jesus, where we learn to be with Him, become like Him, and do as He did.

We'll discuss the core practices of discipleship, including intentional spiritual disciplines, community engagement, and personal transformation. We'll also dive into the concept of a "Rule of Life"—a framework that reshapes every aspect of our lives around the teachings and example of Jesus. Join us as we unpack how individuals and communities can embrace this journey toward a truly mobilized faith.
