The Brushfires of Purpose - John's Journey from Software to Ministry: Empowering Discipleship and Discovering Divine Design


Listen Later

Unlock the secrets of purposeful living with John, a seasoned software developer turned ministry founder, as we explore the transformative journey behind Brushfires Ministry. Discover how John's personal calling inspired a movement to address the church's challenges in discipleship, using tools like DISC and Myers-Briggs to help individuals uncover their God-given design. Listen as we discuss the creation of a Digital Workshop Program, aimed at integrating these assessments into church communities, and the importance of fulfilling the Great Commission with sincerity and intention.

Our conversation with John takes us to the heart of community and collaboration in both evangelism and discipleship. By drawing parallels to Jesus's nurturing of his apostles, we explore the value of slow, intentional growth in nurturing true discipleship. We dive into the distinction between fleeting happiness and enduring joy, inspired by the Apostle Paul's steadfast spirit, and how trials, as described in James 1, can lead us to spiritual completeness and a life aligned with divine purpose.

Come along as we examine the unique design for service that resides in each of us, celebrating the diversity of God's gifts. Through engaging workshops and impactful resources, like the "How We Love" study and songs that touch the soul, individuals can explore their unique paths. Reflecting on the Church of Acts, as practiced by the Graceville Community, we aim to inspire a revival of these ancient, yet timeless, Christian principles in today's world. Join us in this enriching episode to uncover how you too can contribute to a transformative movement within the global church community.
