Episode 47 - The Story of God
How do you describe the “story of God” to someone? Does it include jumping around in the Bible, getting into deep theology, or discussing complicated religious concepts? Our special guest Caesar Kalinowski shows us a simple, story-driven way to start the most important conversations we’ll ever...
-
Episode 46 - Unoffendable
In our current culture, it’s easy to be offended by any number of topics - but if we look at the conversations Jesus had, it was virtually impossible to offend Him. It’s crucial for us to follow this example to have spiritual conversations that stay focused on making disciples. Email...
-
Episode 45 - The Dream Team
When it comes to following Jesus, we have a singular mission yet each of us has a different role, a different set of natural skills. Sometimes that works out well and other times it ends with a lot of butting heads! Using the APEST model from the new testament, we discuss how leaning on each…

Episode 44 - The Model Phase
We often get stuck in certain phases of disciple making, sometimes without even realizing it! But how do we know if we're stuck, what are the signs? And better yet - how do we get un-stuck? Email [email protected] with questions or topics you’d like to hear about on future episodes!…

Episode 42 - Slow Is Fast
So much of what Jesus said turned “normal” things upside down - that’s exactly what we’re discussing with the idea that “slow is fast”. If you’re feeling off-mission, burnt out, frustrated, questioning everything…slowing down just might help you move forward faster! Email...
-
Episode 41 - Holy Discontent
What’s going on with today’s church leaders? Many are leaving the organization/"Sunday morning model” to try something different, and we discuss the approach as well as the results we’ve seen in our own lives. Email [email protected] with questions or topics you’d like to hear about on...
-
Episode 40 - Seedless Grapes
What’s the difference between a seedless grape and one with a seed inside? While there’s an obvious answer to this question, we looked a little deeper into the anatomy of grapes (not kidding!) and compared it to how we approach spiritual conversations. Email [email protected] with...
-
Episode 39 - Identity & The Dark Side
What makes us “disciples”? It’s become a word that we throw around so often, it can lose its true meaning and become more of something we do rather than who we are. To access the visual we’re using for this episode, head to https://www.chwstudios.com/ignite-pdf-1 In this episode we’re featuring…

Episode 38 - A Better Way
It’s easy to get stuck doing things “the way they’ve always been done.” It happens to us in all different facets of life! So how do we, as the Church in general, wake up to a better way of impacting the world and making disciples? Email [email protected] with questions or topics you’d...
-
Episode 37 - Hit in the Face
After a brief discussion on actually being hit in the face, we talk about how pain makes us more open to spiritual conversations. Sometimes it takes being hit in the face with life circumstances to be open to the work of the Holy Spirit! Email [email protected] with questions or topics...
-
Episode 36 - Going All In
In this episode we welcome a new host, Jeremy, and discuss how to recognize conversations that can help someone move closer to Jesus. Whether we realize it or not, these opportunities are all around us, and we just need to be on the lookout and prepare well! Check out…

Episode 35 - Healthy Heresy
The word “heresy” can trigger a different response for all kinds of people - but is it always a “bad” thing? In this episode we’re diving into the topic and what it means to have heresy in the church, and when it might actually be a healthy thing! Reach out to us with any questions you have or...
-
Episode 34 - Chaordic Soup
Celebrating our differences in this day and age is not always easy, but it’s necessary to strike a balance between the “gathered” and “scattered” church. If you’re not sure what all of that means, or what it has to do with soup, listen along and let us know your thoughts! Reach out to us with any...
-
Episode 33 - Emotions
How do our emotions play into spiritual conversations? We all know that emotions can change drastically from situation to situation, so how are we managing them and responding to them? Reach out to us with any questions you have or topics you’d like for us to discuss by emailing Cole at...
-
Episode 32 - Breathe, Pray, Drink
When we’re in the middle of a conversation, what questions is the Holy Spirit wanting us to ask? Of course it changes through different situations, which can seem daunting - but there are some ways we can train for these scenarios. It starts with breathing, praying, and taking a drink. Reach out…

Episode 31 - Trauma & Stress with Eric Brown
For anyone who has worked toward discipleship conversations or held a position in a church/ministry, trauma and stress are unavoidable topics. Eric Brown spoke at our recent Ignite Retreat about these subjects, and in this episode you’ll hear the majority of that talk. Email us for information...
-
Episode 30 - The Soil
When we have discipleship conversations, we should never try to diagnose someone’s mental health - but how do we have conversations with people who are struggling? And when is it time to simply care for someone who is going through a tough time? Dan and Cole share some thoughts on what these...
-
Episode 29 - Questions & "Awe" Conversations
Two of the greatest tools we can use when talking to others about Christ are questions and “awe” conversations. In this episode we discuss what questions to ask others, and it really depends on their relationship to religion. Ultimately, if we stay curious and caring toward others, the Holy…
more -
Episode 28 - The Friend Zone
Spoiler alert! This is not a podcast about dating - we’re still talking about discipleship here, but we all know that feeling of “the friend zone” when it comes to intimate relationships. When we get into those close relationships with people and end up talking to them about following Jesus, it…
more -
Episode 27 - What Does the Research Tell Us?
As a bit of a detour from our usual episodes with guests, we took some time to dig into some recent research/statistics regarding spiritual conversations. What we found paints a bright, if somewhat incomplete, picture of how it affects people when they have these kinds of conversations. How have...
-
Episode 26 - The Third Spaces (with Zac Holt)

-
Episode 25 - What Does a Servant Leader Look Like? (with Jim Richmond)
We've been talking about what it means to be a leader, and Jesus gives the clear example that a good leader is actually a servant, first and foremost. Sure, that makes sense on paper, but what exactly does that look like in real life? And not just in a "church" context? We're joined by Jim…
more -
Episode 24 - Leaders & Servants
No matter what your day-to-day life looks like, you’ve probably encountered people who seem like they’re “the most qualified person” for a job, yet they just aren’t a good leader. So what actually makes a good leader? Looking at Jesus’s life gives us a very clear picture! Reach out to us with any...

-
Episode 20 - The Credibility Gap
We are always talking about making disciples doing the stuff we already do, but for some people in our lives, our stories may be too wild to be true. Not to mention, the things we believe from the Bible sound absolutely crazy! So how do we bridge that gap and build credibility? In this episode,...

Episode 16 - Counter Culture

-
Episode 12 - Friendship Factor
As we continue our discussion from Episode 11, we discuss a concept known as the "friendship factor". Who are you reaching out to in natural ways, rather than trying to fit Jesus into a conversation where He may not fit?
