In our debut episode, we're joined by Trevin Wax, a former missionary to Romania and columnist at The Gospel Coalition. He has written for prominent publications like The Washington Post, Religion News Service, World, and Christianity Today. As an author of books including "The Multi-Directional Leader" and "Rethink Your Self," and having taught at Wheaton College, Trevin brings deep insights into culture and faith.

In this conversation, Jamie and Trevin explore how culture often encourages us to find identity by looking inward, while the Gospel offers a transformative alternative—directing our focus upward to understand our true selves.

Rethink Your Self by Trevin Wax - https://www.bhpublishinggroup.com/rethinkyourself/

Jesus commanded His followers in Matthew 28 to go and make disciples - but what does that mean? So often Christians read about discipleship in their Bibles or hear about making disciples from the pulpit, but are never clearly answered: "What is discipleship and how can I join?" The Downline Podcast, hosted by Jamie Trussell, aims to share conversations built around gospel-based discipleship. As an extension of Downline Ministries, a gospel-driven ministry that aims to equip believers to share their faith and make disciples, this weekly podcast exists to help Christ-followers grow in their ability to faithfully walk with Jesus while also pouring their lives into others.

The Downline Podcast will launch August 26th! Subscribe to never miss an episode, and visit downlineministries.com to learn more about our mission of discipleship.
