Episodes

  1. 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...

  2. 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...

  3. 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…

  4. 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!…

  5. Episode 43 - True Spiritual Community

    Think of a time in your life when you experienced *true* community - what was it like? True spiritual community goes beyond a church building and sets us on a course to experience life change and help others do the same! Email [email protected] with questions or topics you’d like to…

  6. 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...

  7. 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...

  8. 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...

  9. 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…

  10. 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...

  11. 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...

  12. 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…

  13. 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...

  14. 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...

  15. 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...

  16. 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…

  17. 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...

  18. 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...

  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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...

  22. Episode 26 - The Third Spaces (with Zac Holt)

    In this episode we had the privilege of hearing Zac Holt’s story of what it means to share Jesus with those who don’t feel seen - seeing them exactly how Jesus sees them. His story speaks for itself, so we won’t spoil anything! Head to https://ignitediscipleship.com/ for more resources and to...

  23. 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
  24. 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...

  25. Episode 23 - As It Is In Heaven (Part 2 with Buddy Gosey)

    As we continue discussing what it means to live on earth “as it is in heaven”, we have the pleasure of hearing stories from our good friend Buddy Gosey. Hint: you don’t have to be in “full-time ministry” to make a difference! Here’s a link to Buddy’s book:...

  26. Episode 22 - As It Is In Heaven (Part 1 with Ray Williams)

    In this episode we had the pleasure of hearing from Ray Jones, whose story shows us that the simplest mindset changes can lead to life-changing discipleship relationships.

  27. Episode 21 - Our Friends Are Their Friends

    In this episode we are joined by Josh Duncan, a pastor who has made his fair share of mistakes trying to "make disciples". He shares with us how he was equipped the wrong way but how he has since changed his focus to help people find Jesus through community - which is a much more natural,...

  28. 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,...

  29. Episode 19 - Habits and Values

    As we kick off 2021 together, what values are you clinging to that will drive your habits? https://ignitediscipleship.com

  31. Episode 17 - The Fundamentals

    On the heels of the Ignite retreat, we discuss how sometimes we just need to get back to the basics. Regardless of where you work, what church you attend, whatever your life situation - what does it mean to revisit the fundamentals of following Jesus and making disciples?...

  32. Sneak Peak - Ignite 2020 Fall Retreat

    Don't miss the Ignite Fall Retreat on November 9th. No seriously. You'll be sad if you do!

  33. Episode 16 - Counter Culture

    We all LOVE talking about politics, don't we? Especially on Facebook? On a serious note, the church is divided on many issues, and politics is currently at the forefront. So how do we continue having spiritual conversations during this time, and what should we actually do about politics?...

  34. Episode 15 - Pandemic Pivot

    It's our first pandemic, and we're hearing a lot of words such as "decentralization", "innovation", "adaptation"...but when it comes to following the example of Jesus and making disciples, what should we actually be doing right now? Join us as we break things down and give some clear examples of...

  35. Episode 14 - The Early Church

    Even in 2020, maybe ESPECIALLY in 2020, we can learn a lot from the early church and from the approach of those pioneering church leaders. Check out https://ignitediscipleship.com for more information and resources!

  36. Episode 13 - Rest & Renewal

    What is the best way for YOU to rest? While sleep is an obvious answer, we go a few layers deeper into what it means to rest and to be renewed.

  37. 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?

  38. Episode 11 - Sharing Your Story

    What does it really mean to "share your story?" We give some examples of how this happens naturally in the Bible and how we are trying to follow that same model!

  39. Episode 10 - The 42's

    The book of Acts contains a glimpse of what the early church looked like, and if you really begin to dig in to what the apostles did, it reveals the groundwork for how we can share Christ with others - that's what this episode is all about! Check out https://ignitediscipleship.com/ for more...

  40. Episode 9 - Disruption

    What's going to change for us as we move forward? How do we navigate the future with so many unknowns? In this episode we look toward scripture and lean on each other to answer these questions!

  41. Episode 8 - The New Rhythm

    On this episode, while we're still in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, we discuss the way our "life rhythms" have changed - as you listen, ask yourself what has changed for you, and what are the things you want to keep with you moving forward?

  42. SPECIAL EPISODE - Removing the Queen

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, we got together over Zoom meeting to discuss how we can continue being the Church even (especially?) in the midst of a crisis. Let us know how you are reaching out to your neighbors and caring for others during this time!

  43. Episode 7 - The Spiritual Gap

    In this episode we get more specific on what it means to build a bridge to cross the "spiritual gap". Have you tried asking an obvious question?

  44. Episode 6 - Sneaky Bridges

    What does it mean to actually "build a bridge" to someone who doesn't know Christ? Are we supposed to disciple everybody? We explore the answers to those questions, and it involves doing the stuff you're already doing - including pizza!

  45. Episode 5 - The Lizard Brain

    Why on earth are we talking about lizards?! In this episode we explore how the idea of “the lizard brain” can help us become reproducing disciples!
