The Disciples Journal

Do you struggle to hear God's voice? In this episode we take a deep dive into the nature of listening to the voice of God, and the importance of discernment in our faith journey. I share methods to improve tuning into God's voice by providing three principles: removing distractions in our lives, giving God our undivided attention, and staying in constant communication with Him. I also discusses what might happen when we don't offer God our full attention. The podcast wraps up with emphasizing how simple yet important these principles are. We encourages everyone to maintain discipline in these principles to begin to clearly start hearing God's voice in your life. This episode was recorded awhile ago but felt it was still so applicable. I hope this bless you all!

In this episode I dive deep into a question every believer must ask: How do we keep Jesus first in all that we do? I'll challenge you to move beyond the bare minimum of faith—Sunday services and quick prayers—and how to invite Jesus into every part of your life. It’s time to stop going through the motions and fully surrender to His lordship. Together, we’ll explore what it looks like to not just know Jesus as Savior but to allow Him to be Lord, guiding every decision, every moment, every breath.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why Jesus had to die—and what that truly means for your life today? In this episode of The Disciples Journal, I dive deep into the heart of the gospel, exploring the profound reason behind Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and how it impacts not just our eternal destiny but our everyday lives. Together, we'll unpack the weight of sin, the power of Jesus' death and resurrection, and most importantly, what our response should be to this truth. What does it practically look like to choose life everyday and let the gospel impact every aspect of our lives? We'll break this down and much more.

Most of us have a problem—we know what the Bible says, but we don’t truly understand what it’s saying. In this season of The Disciples Journal, we dive into the foundational principles of our faith, asking key questions like, “What is the gospel?”, “What am I saved from?”, “How do I break cycles of sin?”, and much more. Some of us have heard these phrases without fully grasping their full meaning. So expect practical, Bible-based discussions that not only explain these concepts but show how to apply them in everyday life.

The first episode of The Disciples Journal drops on September 18th, with new episodes releasing every Wednesday.
