In this episode, Matt, Chachi, and Cory explore the power that our choices hold and our temptation to drift through life rather than intentionally engaging in the things of God.

Season 5 kicks off with Cory and Chachi welcoming Matt Vaught to the TG staff. Together, they reflect on the value of experience in our spiritual formation, exploring how God uses relationships and challenges to shape our hearts and draw us closer to His own. In this opening episode, they highlight why experiential discipleship is foundational to a young man’s journey with Jesus.

Cory and Chachi give an overview of the 4 Spiritual Disciplines covered this fall (Prayer, Scripture Study, Fellowship and Solitude).  They also break down how we can apply the spiritual disciples to the coming days as we approach the holiday season.

Cory and Chachi talk about their experience with solitude, how Christ models this particular spiritual discipline, and the fruit of practicing solitude on the day to day.

Chachi and Adam unpack various biblical examples of fellowship, the difference between friendship and fellowship, and the importance of remaining in deep meaningful relationship with like minded men.

Cory and Chachi talk about preconceived notions around studying scripture, the importance to applying scripture to our lives, and a challenge of application for the weeks ahead.
