Summary
If you ask five Christians what it means to be a disciple then you will probably receive five different answers. In this episode we will answer that question from a Biblical point of view. We will also provide justification for approaching discipleship as advancing people through stages of spiritual maturity. We will even share with you the seven stages of spiritual maturity that we teach in our seminars. If you would like to attend the seminar or open a dialogue with us then visit our website at http://www.disciplemakingministries.org or leave a voice mail message on our phone at +1 (214) 377.1107.

Holiness Without the Guilt Trip- Teaching Teens to Appreciate Faithfulness
02/17/2026
Rooted Ministry
In this episode of Youth Ministry Unscripted, Isaiah Marshall, Josh Hussung, Danny Kwon, and Becca Heck wrestle with how to teach holiness without drifting into guilt, shame, or moralism. Grounded in Scripture, the conversation reframes holiness not as behavior modification, but as a joyful, relational response to the gospel. The hosts explore how youth ministries can unintentionally slip into legalism, how to speak about sin without leaving students feeling hopeless, and how relational discipleship creates space for grace, confession, and growth. With honesty, humor, and pastoral wisdom, this episode offers youth leaders practical ways to model holiness anchored in Christ’s finished work, not performance. Scripture & Themes ReferencedLeviticus 11:44 – “Be holy, for I am holy”1 Peter 1:16 – Holiness as a call rooted in God’s characterIsaiah 6 – God’s holiness and moral perfectionMatthew 5–7 (Sermon on the Mount) – Holiness of heart, not just behavior1 Thessalonians 5:14 – Responding differently to the idle, weak, and discouragedRelational Discipleship – Walking with students over time, not managing behaviorGospel-Centered Holiness – Living from acceptance, not for acceptanceBiggie Size Your Grace in the Pursuit of Holiness by Andy CornettDiscipling Teenagers in the Meaning of the Law by Chelsea Kingston Erickson Follow @therootedministry on Instagram for more updates!Follow and subscribe to Youth Ministry Unscripted wherever you listen to podcasts.Watch the episode on Youtube!Register for Rooted 2026 in Nashville.

The Son Who Sits (Hebrews 1:3-4)
02/16/2026
Hebrews began with the author reminding them that the living God has spoken fully and finally in his Son. The God who speaks has made himself known in his Son, and in vv. 3-4 we learn he is the Son who sits. In this sermon, pastor Matt helps us see that God's Son sits enthroned because of who he is and what he has done. Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who became a man in order to cleanse us from sin, and who now reigns in victory as the exalted Son of God.
