the12cast

What if we didn't have a good word for the verb "disciple?" We actually dont have a great way to translate the word for what it means to disciple another person...so in this episode we explore alternatives that can at least in part get us a little closer....maybe. Chloe Knollenberg joins me as we wrestle with relationally centric activities that can help us do what Jesus did when he prioritized His 12.

When Jesus told his closest followers to disciple the nations- the focus was on the action of the disciples not the outcomes. How has the modern obsession with outcomes changes the way we understand this command of Jesus?

The second season of the12cast will explore how we can more closely practice the model of discipleship Jesus gave us. In this episode Jake talks with Scott Knollenberg and Chloe Knollenberg about the journey of understanding discipleship and how our experiences with church has both helped and hindered our ability to follow the Jesus mandate.Photo by Kier in Sight Archives on Unsplash

Dependency is about Identity. In this episode we look at when Jesus first exercised his dependency on the father, how it shaped who he was and shapes how we love our 12. oad- July 24, 2023

Jake has a roundtable discussion about cultural artifacts that can help us live our mission and vision as a just 12 community. In this episode everyone shared a book they think other everyday ordinary missionaries could use.

Jesus had a habitude of presence. He consistently acted out a conviction of attentiveness to those he was in deepest relationship with. Having presence with our 12 is part of prioritizing them - like Jesus did with his 12.

Chloe Knollenberg joins us to share about her just12 journey since before just12 was even conceptualized as just12. Her experience of going from behind the scenes of conventional church programs to being a college student can encourage and equip all of us in loving our 12 well.

In this pilot episode of the 12cast Jake Kirchner introduces the mission and vision with a little background to the pain that prompted the just 12 journey.
