What happens when hope seems lost… and Jesus suddenly appears walking beside you?

In this powerful finale to the Gospel of Luke, the Simple Discipleship crew is joined by special guest Cruz Paniagua from Brazil’s Expand Global ministry to unpack Luke 24 — the resurrection of Jesus, the road to Emmaus, and the moment everything changed forever.

Together, the conversation explores:

• Why the disciples struggled to believe even after the resurrection
• The deeper meaning behind Jesus breaking bread with the disciples
• “Did not our hearts burn within us?” — what it means to truly encounter Christ
• The role of community, fellowship, and the table in spiritual growth
• How the Holy Spirit reveals truth and empowers believers
• Why Jesus is still our living, risen Lord today

This episode is filled with encouragement, Scripture, authentic discussion, and practical insight into walking with Jesus daily.

Plus: the team announces the next study series — Isaiah, often called “the Fifth Gospel.”

In this powerful episode of Simple Discipleship, the guys walk through Luke 22 and unpack the betrayal of Judas, the denial of Peter, and the disciples’ struggle with pride, fear, and faith. What does it really mean to “betray Jesus with a kiss”? How do we avoid using faith for our own gain? And why did Jesus allow Peter to fail before restoring him?

This honest and challenging conversation explores temptation, deception, repentance, communion, prayer, and the relentless grace of Jesus. Through the stories of Peter and Judas, we’re reminded that discipleship isn’t about perfection — it’s about staying connected to Christ, learning through failure, and letting God transform us.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, pride, doubt, or feeling unworthy, this episode will encourage you to keep walking with Jesus and trust His plan for your life.

In Luke 21, Jesus reveals something powerful—and honestly, unsettling.

A poor widow gives everything she has…
Moments later, Jesus begins talking about destruction, persecution, and the end of the age.

Is that a coincidence? Or is He showing us how to truly live when everything feels uncertain?

In this episode of Simple Discipleship, we unpack:

• What the widow’s offering really means for your life
• Why Jesus warns us not to focus on fear, chaos, or the end times
• How to trust God when life feels out of control
• The truth about persecution, endurance, and eternal hope
• What it actually means to be “all in” with Jesus

💬 One of the most powerful takeaways:
“No matter what happens to me today… I will be okay.” 

This conversation will challenge your perspective, strengthen your faith, and call you to something deeper than surface-level Christianity.

🙏 Whether you’re a lifelong believer or just exploring faith, this episode invites you to:
✔ Let go of fear
✔ Stop chasing control
✔ Start trusting Jesus fully

What if we’ve misunderstood what Jesus was really trying to do?

In this episode of Simple Discipleship, we dive into Luke 20—a powerful and uncomfortable chapter where Jesus directly confronts religious systems, leadership, and the human tendency to replace relationship with rules.

👉 Are we following Jesus… or just following religion?
👉 Have we unknowingly become more like the Pharisees than the disciples?
👉 Is the modern church drifting from the mission of Christ?

This conversation gets real.

We wrestle with:

• The difference between grace and works
• Why religion often replaces relationship
• The danger of spiritual pride and authority
• What Jesus meant by “give to God what is God’s”
• Whether the church today is repeating the same mistakes as ancient Israel

One of the biggest takeaways:
It’s not about proving your point… it’s about conforming your life to Christ.

This isn’t about tearing down the church—it’s about calling believers back to the heart of Jesus:
➡️ A real, daily relationship
➡️ Personal responsibility in your faith
➡️ Living as true disciples, not just attendees

💬 Whether you're deeply rooted in faith or just searching for truth, this episode will challenge you to examine what you believe—and why.

🎧 Listen. Reflect. Grow.

In Luke 19, we see two powerful moments side by side:
Jesus notices Zacchaeus in the tree—and everything changes. Then He tells the parable of the ten minas, reminding us that what we do with what God gives us matters.

In this teaching, we explore:
• How Jesus truly sees people others overlook
• What Zacchaeus teaches us about repentance and response
• Why faithfulness with what we’ve been given is so important
• What it means to live ready for the King’s return

Jesus didn’t just pass by—He stopped, called Zacchaeus by name, and changed his life. And He’s still doing that today.

📖 Scripture: Luke 19

In this episode, we dive into Luke 18 and explore two powerful themes Jesus highlights: the subtle danger of self-righteousness and the relentless faith found in persistent prayer. Through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, and the story of the persistent widow, we’re challenged to examine our hearts—are we trusting in ourselves, or fully depending on God?

This conversation will encourage you to pursue humility, deepen your prayer life, and trust that God hears and responds—even when the answer feels delayed.

Luke 16 contains one of the most difficult parables in all of Scripture—the Parable of the Unjust Steward. Why would Jesus seemingly commend a dishonest manager? What is He really teaching us?

In this episode of Simple Discipleship, we sit down with special guest Tim Hill to unpack this challenging passage and reveal a powerful truth: the world is often more strategic with temporary things than believers are with eternal ones.

This conversation will challenge how you think about stewardship, wisdom, and living with eternity in mind.

What does it mean to be truly lost—and even more, to be found?

In Luke 15, Jesus tells three powerful stories: a wandering sheep, a missing coin, and a runaway son. Each one reveals the heart of God—a Father who pursues, rejoices, and restores.

In this conversation, we unpack:

• Why God goes after the one
• The difference between being lost and knowing you're lost
• The scandal of grace in the prodigal son story
• What it means to come home

If you've ever felt far from God—or wondered if you matter—this is for you.

In this episode, we walk through Luke 14 and uncover one of Jesus’ most direct challenges to our hearts—humility over pride.

Jesus flips the script on what it means to be invited, honored, and accepted. He teaches us not to rush for the seat of honor, but to take the low place… because in God’s Kingdom, the way up is down.

We talk about:

• Why pride quietly poisons our relationship with God

• The danger of assuming we deserve a place at the table

• The powerful invitation to the Great Supper—and why many miss it

• How what God offers is far better than anything we try to grasp ourselves

• What it really means to count the cost of following Jesus

• The paradox of the Kingdom: when we give up everything, we actually gain everything

Pride will always push you to elevate yourself. Jesus calls you to surrender—and trust Him to lift you.

Are you coming to the table… or are you too full of yourself to sit down?
