Both Linda Tokar and Jason Wieland are our hosts today as they journey into our Call to Generosity. The world may describe generosity as the quality of being generous, kind and openhanded. But as Christians, God takes the heart, our motives and other qualities into consideration. Join Linda and Jason in Episode 261 of Doable Discipleship as they dissect the Call to Generosity.

What It Looks Like to Give God All My Worship

Last year we released an episode of Doable Discipleship called The Burden & Gift of Living. Host Jason Wieland had read a book called On Getting Out of Bed by Alan Noble, and even though we were not able to interview him at the time, Jason needed to talk about this book. No book resonated with and spoke to Jason as deeply as On Getting out of Bed so Jason did his first solo episode of the podcast talking about the book. Well, the topic seemed to strike a chord as in the 6 months since its release, that episode has become one of the most engaged in the history of Doable Discipleship, and the numbers just continue to go up.  On Getting Out of Bed is a look at the struggles of everyday living and the reality of mental affliction, to the point that some people constantly wrestle with the question of why to even get out of bed. The book is a beautiful essay on the reality of brokenness, the goodness of God, and the hope of healing. Well, today is a day Jason has eagerly awaited.  In today's episode, Jason is joined by Dr. Alan Noble, author of On Getting Out of Bed. In this conversation, Alan and Jason talk about why the topic of life’s burden speaks to so many people today, how generations approach mental affliction differently, whether or not to openly discuss your own mental afflictions, hope of healing, the role of those who care for those who struggle with mental afflictions, and so so much more.  Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland. It premiered in 2017 and now offers more than 380 episodes.

Navigating the Different Stages of Fatherhood

In this Rewind episode of Doable Discipleship, originally released in February 2023, Jason Wieland and Linda Tokar talk with Pastor Buddy Owens about Spiritual Warfare. Buddy talks through what spiritual warfare means, what the Bible says about it, and how we are called to participate in it. He discusses our identity in Christ, the importance of what it means to have Christ’s authority, and how these truths mean we do not have to live in fear even while in a spiritual battle. Buddy looks at the power of prayer as a strategy for spiritual warfare and provides some resource suggestions for people who want to learn more.

Understanding Spiritual Warfare and Your Role in It - Rewind

Your church likely has kids and student ministries where kids can go to learn about God. Adults often say we’re grateful for those pastors and then continue on focusing on our own church experience. There is something missing in the way that we think about the next generation. There’s not just an opportunity, but a necessity, to be intentional toward and praying for the next generation. Kids and students are not just the future church, they are the church of now and they will face challenges and trials as they continue to grow in their faith, but they also will see wonderful opportunities and powerful experiences. How can we be entering into prayer on their behalf? How can we be lifting up the next generation?  In today's Rewind episode, originally released June 13, 2023, host Jason Wieland talks with Kendall Hibiske about why we must pray for the next generation. This is a powerful conversation about how we should view the next generation, our role in prayer, and where the two meet. The conversation looks at the power of intergenerational prayer, what we can be learning from the younger generation, how our prayer lives can and do change, and some ways we can specifically be praying for the next generation.
