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?

In Luke 13, Jesus confronts one of our most common spiritual problems: looking at the sins of others instead of examining our own hearts.

When tragedy struck in Israel, people assumed it must have been God’s judgment. But Jesus shocked them with a different message:

“Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” – Luke 13:3

In this episode of the Simple Discipleship Podcast, we walk through the powerful teachings of Luke 13 and discover:

• Why tragedy does not always equal judgment
• Why pride is one of our greatest spiritual enemies
• What the parable of the fig tree teaches about patience and fruit
• Why we are responsible for our own repentance, not controlling others
• The powerful moment when Jesus heals a woman on the Sabbath

That healing story is actually a beautiful picture of salvation:

Jesus sees us
Jesus calls us
Jesus touches us
Jesus heals us

Religion focuses on rules, but Jesus came to set people free.

Luke 13 also reveals a sobering truth: Israel had the opportunity to respond to Jesus — but many were not willing.

God owns the field.
We are called to bear fruit.

This conversation will challenge you to stop comparing, start repenting, and follow Jesus with humility.

Stress. Work pressure. Marriage tension. Family responsibilities. That quiet fear that something bad is about to happen.

In Luke 12, Jesus directly addresses anxiety—and gives us a Kingdom-centered response.

The Simple Discipleship team discusses:
✔️ Is anxiety a sin?
✔️ Even Jesus was distressed—what does that mean for us?
✔️ What we seek after often causes our stress
✔️ How to sit at Jesus’ feet in the middle of pressure
✔️ Serving others as a practical response to worry
✔️ Turning anxiety toward trust instead of fear

We don’t pretend stress doesn’t exist. We talk about it honestly. Then we turn it toward Jesus.

“Seek His Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.” — Luke 12:31

If you’ve been carrying stress silently, this conversation is for you.

If you’ve ever felt like your prayer life is hitting a ceiling, this one is for you. We’re breaking down Luke 11 and looking at how Jesus redefined discipleship. It’s not about doing more; it’s about being more intentional. We discuss why Jesus calls us to be persistent, how to stay "full of light," and why simple obedience beats religious performance every single time.

Key Takeaways:

• Learning to pray with "shameless audacity."

• Why "Ask, Seek, Knock" still works today.

• Identifying the "Pharisee" tendencies in our own modern lives.

n Luke 9, we see a powerful picture of who Jesus is and what He does. Jesus sends out the Twelve with authority, feeds the five thousand, reveals His identity to Peter, is transfigured in glory, and calls His followers to deny themselves and follow Him.

In this episode, we explore:

• Jesus’ authority over sickness, demons, and nature

• His compassion for crowds and individuals

• Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Christ

• The Transfiguration and what it reveals about Jesus’ glory

• The true cost and calling of discipleship

Luke 9 challenges us to answer the most important question: Who is Jesus to you? And once we know who He is, how will we follow Him?

📖 Read along in Luke 9 and join the conversation as we unpack the identity, mission, and invitation of Jesus.

In Luke 8, Jesus reveals unmistakable authority—over nature, disease, demons, and even death. Through parables, powerful miracles, and personal encounters, He shows that true faith is more than listening; it’s trusting and following Him completely. In this episode of Simple Discipleship, Mike, Andy, Sam, and Charles walk through Luke 8 and explore what it means to hear God’s Word with the right heart, trust Jesus in the storm, and respond to His authority in every area of life. This conversation invites listeners to examine their faith and consider how Jesus’ power calls us to deeper obedience and lasting transformation.

In Luke 7, we see real people wrestling with real questions—and a Savior who meets them with truth, compassion, and power. From John the Baptist’s doubt, to the surprising faith of a Roman centurion, to the miracles that point clearly to who Jesus is, this chapter challenges our understanding of faith.

In this episode, the Simple Discipleship team discusses how faith and doubt often exist together, how Jesus responds to both, and what these stories teach us about trusting Him in everyday life. Luke 7 reminds us that faith is not about having all the answers, but about knowing who to bring our questions to.

In Luke 6, Jesus openly challenges the religious leaders over the Sabbath—and in doing so, He reveals something essential about discipleship. Jesus refuses to separate truth from love. He heals, He confronts, and He calls His disciples to follow Him in a way that puts people first without abandoning God’s Word.

In this episode of Simple Discipleship, we explore:

• Why Jesus confronted the religious leaders about the Sabbath

• What it means that Jesus is “Lord of the Sabbath”

• How Jesus calls His disciples in the middle of conflict

• How we can love people deeply while still teaching and living out truth

Discipleship isn’t about choosing between grace or truth—it’s about learning how Jesus holds both together. Luke 6 challenges us to examine our hearts, our traditions, and the way we treat people as we follow Christ.

Theme: Loving people, teaching truth, and following Jesus

In this episode of Simple Discipleship, we walk through Luke 5 and explore how Jesus calls ordinary people into an extraordinary life with Him.

Luke 5 shows us powerful discipleship movements:

• Fishing with Jesus – where obedience leads to abundance

• Being called – leaving the nets to follow Christ

• Going to the mountain – learning the importance of withdrawing to pray and be with the Father

Peter’s encounter with Jesus reminds us that calling often begins right in the middle of our everyday work—and following Jesus always requires surrender, humility, and trust.

Whether you’re new to the faith or seeking to grow deeper, Luke 5 teaches us what it truly means to become fishers of men and disciples who walk closely with Jesus.
