Practical Discipleship Podcast

In this episode, Scott discusses the foundational element of Water Baptism. He defines what true baptism looks like and why it is essential to do so after repentance. He draws connections with the practice to the atonement, a unification with Christ Himself, and a burial of the past with a mind towards the future.

Scott recounts his experience with campus preacher Kerrigan Skelly who frequently utilizes signs and banners in his evangelism. He also gives his own top 3 reasons why anyone who open-air preaches should use them.

In this episode, Scott discusses the foundational element of Faith Towards God. He emphasizes that true faith is not merely a mental ascent but requires action and obedience. The conversation explores the implications of faith in relation to salvation, the importance of living out one's faith daily, and the relationship between faith and obedience. Scott encourages listeners to maintain their faith and not turn back from their commitment to God.

The question of "Why we sin?" is examined based on a street preacher's proclamation that it has to do with a selfish heart. Scott explores this notion and examines the question of whether sin is also natural or choice-based.

In part 2 of this series, Scott expands on what repentance is, what dead works are, and what it means to truly repent from them. He stresses the importance of understanding and having this first foundational element as a fundamental part of one's Christian faith.

In this episode, Scott begins a new series on the foundational elements of the Christian faith: Repentance from Dead Works, Faith Towards God, the Doctrine of Baptisms, Laying on of Hands, Resurrection of the Dead, and Eternal Judgment. He emphasizes the importance of having a good grasp on these elements found in Hebrews 6:1-2 when it comes to being new to the faith. 

Utilizing the X (formerly Twitter) platform, this was an open discussion on XSpaces. It was recorded live on 9/1/25.

(Unfortunately no one joined the discussion for this topic...so it became a teaching instead)
