It happens slowly. Then all at once. Small compromises. Quiet trade-offs. One day you wake up and realize your life, your leadership, or your organization has drifted from what it was supposed to be about. The mission that once drove everything is now just words on a wall.Peter Greer wrote the book on it — literally. In How Leaders Lose Their Way, he unpacks why drift is the default and what it takes to stay anchored. Peter is President & CEO of HOPE International and has spent years helping leaders finish well — personally and organizationally.In this conversation, we unpack:→ What personal and organizational drift actually looks like (and why it's so hard to spot)→ The difference between "resume virtues" and "eulogy virtues"→ Why Peter writes his eulogy every year — and how it recalibrates everything→ The dangers of success, speed, and isolation→ Why you need friends who love you enough to tell you the truth→ How good organizations lose their mission — and why growth can't be the ultimate goal→ Practical guardrails you can put in place this weekIf you want to finish well, this conversation will show you how to fight the current.—📘 How Leaders Lose Their Way by Peter Greer: https://a.co/d/aJKWKUE📘 Mission Drift by Peter Greer: https://www.amazon.com/Mission-Drift-Unspoken-Organizations-Believe/dp/0764211641🔗 HOPE International: https://www.hopeinternational.org—About Peter Greer:Peter Greer is President & CEO of HOPE International, a global Christ-centered microfinance organization.

An exponential Disciple-Making Movement requires real resources. But what if you could give once and fund disciple-making forever? Most ministries are stuck in an endless fundraising cycle. They spend more time chasing dollars than making disciples. But here's the reality: our discipleship model already multiplies on its own. The constraint isn't the engine—it's predictable, sustainable funding.In this video, Jeremy introduces the Discipleship Impact Fund (DIF)—a perpetual treasury designed to preserve your principal while funding disciple-making from yield, year after year. This isn't about one-time appeals or constant asks. This is about building a funding machine that works for generations.Here's what you'll discover:Why perpetual funding beats one-off donations for long-term Kingdom impactHow the DIF actually works (principal stays protected, distributions come from growth)The guardrails in place: board oversight, accountability, and disciplined stewardshipSmart giving strategies: DAF, appreciated stock, bitcoin, real estate, business equityHow your partnership scales a proven movement (5× growth, 88/10/2 financial stewardship)The numbers don't lie. Ordinary Movement has grown exponentially because ordinary people stepped into their calling. But to reach 100,000 disciple-makers, we need sustainable infrastructure. The DIF makes that possible.What if your giving could multiply disciples long after you're gone?This isn't just about funding a ministry. It's about creating a perpetual discipleship machine that outlives all of us and continues the Great Commission for generations. When you give to the DIF, you're not writing a check—you're building a legacy.Ready to take the next step?Learn more about the DIF → https://ordinarymovement.com/difPartner with OM (monthly or one-time) → https://ordinarymovement.com/partnerDownload our 2025 Ministry Overview → https://static1.squarespace.com/static/652d4067260c732edd010a67/t/690baed7e8cf99739a38ce5f/1762373335451/2025+Full+Ministry+Overview.pdf---Ordinary Movement is a discipleship platform that equips men and women to be disciples who make disciples.

Giving as a practice simply can’t be ignored if we are to follow Jesus. In fact, some studies show 15% of Jesus’ teachings have to do with money or possessions. Jeremy dives into the conversation with Doug Kiesewetter—CEO of Cogency Power & Chairman of WaterStone, veteran of 10+ successful start-ups. He’s grown 3 companies from inception to over $100MM in capital value.

Jeremy nearly died on this one. A massive elk.

Today we’re talking about the value of intentional relationships—a key part of our discipleship process. Every group that launches doesn’t just meet to study Scripture; they build real relationships by spending time together outside the sessions.

Don't just lead a group and then do a hard stop! Stay connected, develop more intentional relationships, do mission together, and keep the first things first. Launch an OC Group. They are independently run by past group participants or leaders and exist to keep the disciple-making movement an ongoing reality. How frequently groups meet are up to each facilitator. Meet monthly, bi-weekly, or whatever works best for each group. Groups are easy to execute, easy to join, and highly reproducible. Because each meeting stands alone, if you miss a meet-up, you won’t be behind. Rotating facilitators is encouraged to keep these groups manageable and ongoing.

In light of recent events, we thought it was important as an organization to share our thoughts. In this episode we will reflect on Charlie Kirk, and some comments made by Erika Kirk at his funeral. The aftermath of Charlie’s death has seen a massive increase in church attendance, and a generally increased interest in Christianity. As disciples who make disciples, how we respond in this time is crucial.Ordinary Movement is a discipleship platform that equips men and women to be disciples who make disciples.

If you care about disciple-making and the witness of the Church, this episode matters. Jeremy sits down with the directors behind one of the most talked-about church documentaries to ask hard questions—and separate headlines from hard data.Across the American church we are seeing:Widespread Financial Fraud and EmbezzlementLack of Financial Transparency and AccountabilityMisallocation and Inefficient Use of DonationsCelebrity Pastor Culture and Extravagant LifestylesExploitation of Legal Loopholes:Shift from a Religious Mission to a Business ModelSo let’s just say this podcast wasn’t easy for us to publish.Why? We know we could offend some folks, lose some leaders or participants, even lose friends. Yet the findings are factual, not opinion—and the issues are a growing trend, not isolated cases.To be clear: there are many faithful pastors and churches who love Jesus and lead well. We speak with them regularly. They also feel the pressure of these trends around them and the impact on their congregations.We don’t believe this can be course-corrected unless we start talking about it—and we’re committed to doing so in a healthy, loving way that calls the church to greater purpose, purity, and impact.Let us know your thoughts.Let’s make disciples who make disciples.You can find the full documentary The Religion Business here: https://www.thereligionbusiness.com/

Recently, Jeremy began shifting toward one-on-one discipleship, and he loves it! Here's the deal: it seems small group culture and leadership talks have led many to feel that small-scale or one-on-one discipleship is inefficient or low-impact, but we're pushing back against this mindset and emphasis. Just make disciples. Helping one person grow in their relationship with Jesus is worth it! Be faithful with one or even more, but don't settle for apathy or a low-challenge, low-invitation culture.
