Name: Disciple Now Podcast - You WILL Face Rejection by Disciple Now
Duration: 10 min 43 s
Description: You will face rejection when presenting the gospel. Jesus teaches this lesson in Mark chapter 6, as He prepares His disciples for their first mission trip. He shows us how to handle such rejection, and He provides additional key lessons in our dependence on God.

In episode 5, we discuss the “comfort zone” that many believers get stuck in, and we discuss why it is so important to get outside of the comfort zone of the four walls of the church reaching those that have been ostracized from the church community. Jesus’s leadership shows us why it is important to reach those that are sinners—not the righteous.

Jesus continues to heal on the Sabbath—showing the misalignment of the heart posture the Pharisees have, and immediately they plot to destroy Jesus. We learn that the path of the disciple may be met with opposition—yet this calling is not for the weak.

Disciple Now Podcast - Be A "Crazy Christian" For Christ And His Ministry

In this podcast episode, we explore a key lesson on discipling others based on the parable of the sower from Mark 4:3-9. As disciples, we need to understand that people receive the word at different stages of their faith journey. Some may not understand it, some may receive it with joy but not have a strong foundation, while others may be distracted by worldly worries and desires. Our role is to provide good seed and nurture whatever faith sprouts up, but it is the Holy Spirit's job to grow the seed.

Furthermore, we need to be transparent and vulnerable about our own lives, living in our truth and admitting our mistakes. As disciples, we are called to a higher standard, and living in truth is better than carrying the burden of maintaining a lie. Our lives as disciples should serve as an example for others, and we should always strive to live in obedience to God's will over our lives without fear of being ostracized from the world.

Disciple Now Podcast - Discipling To Nurture The Faith In Others

This Holy Friday we are reading from Mark 4:26-41 where Jesus uses parables to describe the Word and the Kingdom of God. The key takeaway is that as the Word of God increases in our life, our faith grows, allowing us to develop our spiritual maturity. As disciples of Christ, we have been called to live to a higher standard, extending beyond cultural standards and leaping into the standards of the Spirit. 

Believers must take accountability for their spiritual growth, not relying on the flawed nature of biblical figures as an excuse for stagnancy. The parable of the seed shows that we are the sowers, and God is the Source that develops the Word in a person, allowing it to grow.

Disciple Now Podcast - Do You Still Have No Faith?

In this episode, we dive into the power and authority of Jesus as we follow the disciples to the region of the Gerasenes. Here, they encounter a man possessed by a legion of demons who bows to Jesus' authority.

We discuss the importance of recognizing the power of Christ, which is greater than any weather condition, sickness, disease, or demonic spirit. We can apply this lesson in our day-to-day lives by becoming transformed through the renewing of our mindset, taking captive our thoughts, and casting our worries and burdens on Christ.

The second key lesson we can take from this passage is to continue to share our testimony of the power of Christ and how it has renewed our mind, corrected unhealthy behaviors or habits, and/or how it has healed us from illness or disease by His mercy. 

Join us as we unpack the key lessons we can learn for this passage, as disciples of Christ.
