A Changed Life Changes Lives | The Well Podcast S3E10

In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil and Les are joined by Pastor Jonathan Buttram, the pastor of Re:generation recovery ministry at Abundant Life. Pastor Jonathan talks about the life change he has seen through Re:generation and shares his testimony of coming to faith in Jesus. Re:generation is a transformative ministry that combines discipleship and recovery, offering a path to freedom, peace, and hope for both the spiritually healthy and those struggling. Everyone has struggles, and Satan wants to steal, kill, and destroy the things God wants to do through us. Re:generation is about taking back stolen ground from the enemy and reconciling people to bear God’s witness. Healing is a journey, not a destiny. We have to go through a daily process of taking our thoughts captive because the lies of the enemy create a counterfeit reality that takes us into captivity and stops us from living life abundantly. But Jesus said the truth will set us free. If you believe what He says, He will restore you to abundant life. As believers, our job is to reproduce and carry the message of reconciliation to the world through evangelism and discipleship. The world emphasizes head knowledge, but God desires heart transformation. Biblical discipleship is about building a relationship with another believer and passing on maturity and wisdom to them. A changed life changes lives. When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive the power of God, and we get to be a supernatural witness to the lost people around us. Think intentionally and purposefully about seeking relationships and opportunities to share Jesus with people. Two questions to ask yourself if you’re a follower of Jesus: Am I living out the Great Commission? Am I living out the Great Commandment? The call of every Christian is to reach the lost with the gospel and teach them how to follow Jesus. There are many forms of discipleship, so we encourage you to prayerfully consider what next step God is inviting you to take and anticipate the life change He is going to bring!
