S3E8 Hope, Growth, and the Work of Everyday Ministry
In this final episode of the season, we reflect on the foundational ideas that have shaped our conversations: gospel clarity and helping people move toward maturity in Christ. We talk about why hope in Christ isn't just a future idea but something that reshapes how we live today. That future hope fuels urgency in evangelism, patience in discipleship, and purpose in everyday ministry. We also unpack what it really looks like to "move people to the right." It's not about delivering perfect content or expecting instant transformation. It's about helping each person take their next step toward maturity, wherever they are. You'll hear practical examples from real ministry contexts, including: Using simple frameworks to reinforce gospel clarity in Bible study Why repetition is necessary (even when it feels redundant) How to lead with both challenge and patience The importance of teaching people, not just material We close by reminding ourselves that growth doesn't happen by accident. It happens through intentional, prayerful dependence on God's Word and Spirit. Stay Connected Want more resources to help you grow and help others grow toward maturity in Christ?

S3E7 You Can't Disciple Everyone
What do you do when there are more people to disciple than you can possibly handle? In this episode, Marty sits down with Bruce to wrestle with one of the biggest challenges in ministry: how to faithfully disciple people without bottlenecking growth. As their campus ministry has grown from zero to hundreds of students, they've had to rethink what it really means to make disciples. They explore the tension between depth and breadth, the necessity of training others, and why multiplication—not just personal investment—is essential for gospel ministry. This conversation challenges the common instinct to "just go deeper with a few" and instead calls leaders to think bigger about raising up more gospel workers. Sign up for emails Follow on Instagram Leave a review on Apple What You'll Learn Why one-to-one discipleship alone isn't enough The difference between making disciples and making disciple-makers How to think about growth without compromising faithfulness Why "chasing numbers" isn't necessarily unspiritual The importance of training and deploying others How to handle the tension between quality and capacity Why multiplication is essential in any ministry context Key Ideas from the Episode You can't personally disciple everyone—so you must train others Ministry must move from addition to multiplication Structure and intentionality help sustain growth Deployment matters—people won't be "fully ready" God is sovereign, but he uses people as his means Key Quotes "You can't just do a deep work in a few—you have to help them do the same." "If I spend all my time with one person, I don't have time for anyone else." "There's nothing wrong with wanting more people—if it's for the gospel." "At some point, you have to deploy people before they feel ready." "We want to present everyone mature in Christ." Resources Mentioned The Trellis and the Vine Growth and Change Wisdom in Leadership Key Takeaway Faithful ministry isn't just about investing deeply in a few people—it's about equipping those people to do the same. If we want to reach more people with the gospel, we need to think beyond addition and embrace multiplication.

S3E6 The Complexities of Evangelism On Campus
What happens after someone shows curiosity about Jesus? In this episode of The Everyday Ministry Podcast, Lindsey Yeagley is joined by Bruce Chimani, College and Young Adults Pastor at Old North Church, for an honest and practical conversation about evangelism pathways—and the gaps churches often face when engaging non-Christians. Drawing from campus ministry, women's ministry, and local church contexts, Lindsey and Bruce reflect on how people actually move from curiosity to conviction, why evangelism often feels overwhelming, and how churches can think more strategically without losing the personal nature of gospel conversations. They discuss the importance of evangelistic courses as a shared entry point, the role of follow-up after conversion, and why a theological conviction about eternity must fuel practical evangelism efforts. This episode will encourage pastors and ministry leaders to think clearly, pray boldly, and build pathways that don't rely on one person doing everything. In This Episode, You'll Hear About Why evangelism pathways are often unclear or overwhelming Differences between campus ministry and adult church contexts The danger of throwing new believers straight into deep-end Bible studies Why evangelistic courses help churches share the load together Acts 17 and the often-overlooked group of "curious but unconvinced" people Why follow-up after evangelistic courses matters more than the course itself How prayer undergirds sustainable evangelism Why a deep conviction about eternity fuels urgency in gospel work 📚 Resources Mentioned Discover (Evangelistic Course) – Matthias Media https://matthiasmedia.com/products/discover Taste and See – Rory Shiner (Evangelistic Course) You, Me & the Bible – Tony Payne https://matthiasmedia.com/products/you-me-and-the-bible Just for Starters – Matthias Media https://matthiasmedia.com/products/just-for-starters The Christian Gospel – Matthias Media https://matthiasmedia.com/products/the-christian-gospel Acts 17:32 – Paul's sermon and varied responses to the resurrection Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Personal Background 03:06 Understanding Evangelism in College Contexts 06:00 Challenges in Evangelism: Gaps and Strategies 09:01 The Importance of Community and Follow-Up 11:55 The Role of Prayer in Evangelism 15:02 Theological Foundations for Evangelism 17:56 Practical Approaches to Engaging Non-Christians 20:57 Looking Ahead: Future Strategies and Goals evangelism, college ministry, church growth, community engagement, prayer, discipleship, non-Christian outreach, theological foundations, follow-up strategies, personal testimony Sign up for our weekly email here Follow us on IG

S3E5 When Women's Ministry Is Built to Grow
Thinking Right to Move Right: When Women's Ministry is Built to Grow What does it look like to build a women's ministry that actually helps women grow — not just attend? In this episode of The Everyday Ministry Podcast, Lindsey Yeagley is joined by Beth Harrell, Women's Ministry Director at Old North Church, for a practical and honest conversation about intentionality in women's ministry. Together, they explore how existing ministries—like Bible studies and gatherings—can be used more thoughtfully to encourage maturity, evangelism, and long-term fruit. Beth shares wisdom from years of ministry experience, including how to train leaders well, why growth often happens slowly and incrementally, and how informal "sheepdogs" play a vital role in helping women take their next step toward maturity in Christ. They also discuss the importance of unified Bible study, clear pathways for involvement, and cultivating a culture where gospel conversations are normal—even when we fail or feel hesitant. This episode is especially helpful for pastors, women's ministry leaders, and volunteers who want to think carefully about structures that support growth, without over-programming or burning people out. In This Episode, You'll Hear About Why women's ministry needs intentional trellises, not just events Using existing Bible studies more evangelistically and formatively Training leaders to notice and nurture "left-lookers" The role of informal leaders ("sheepdogs") in gospel growth Why small, incremental change matters more than quick results Helping women identify their next step toward maturity Holding ministry structures loosely and adapting wisely over time 📚 Resources Mentioned (with Links) Motherhood – Jocelyn Loane https://matthiasmedia.com/products/motherhood The Trellis and the Vine – Colin Marshall & Tony Payne https://matthiasmedia.com/products/the-trellis-and-the-vine The Vine Project – Colin Marshall & Tony Payne https://matthiasmedia.com/products/the-vine-project Guidance and the Voice of God – Phillip Jensen & Tony Payne https://matthiasmedia.com/products/guidance-and-the-voice-of-god Connect With Us 🌐 Website: https://matthiasmedia.com 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/everydayministrypodcast SUBSCRIBE TO OUR WEEKLY EMAIL!

S3E4 Building Pathways for Women to Grow
Thinking Right to Move Right: Building Pathways for Women to Grow What does it actually look like to help women take their next step toward maturity in Christ? In this episode of The Everyday Ministry Podcast, Marty Sweeney sits down with Beth Harrell, former Matthias Media staff member and now full-time Women's Ministry Director at Old North Church. Together, they explore how thoughtful ministry structures—paired with patient, relational discipleship—help women move from events to engagement, and from attendance to maturity. Beth reflects on the importance of building clear pathways for growth, balancing large gatherings with one-to-one ministry, and training leaders without burning them out. The conversation also challenges common assumptions about success in women's ministry, reminding us that long-term fruit often comes through slow, faithful investment in people rather than impressive programs. This episode is especially encouraging for churches with limited time, staff, or resources—and for anyone wanting to think more carefully about how real growth happens in everyday ministry. In This Episode, You'll Hear About Why women's ministry needs pathways, not just programs How one-to-one ministry supports and strengthens larger gatherings Identifying and training leaders with patience and care Why the "next step" isn't always another event Measuring fruitfulness by growth, not numbers 📚 Resources Mentioned The Trellis and the Vine – Colin Marshall & Tony Payne https://matthiasmedia.com/products/the-trellis-and-the-vine The Vine Project – Colin Marshall & Tony Payne https://matthiasmedia.com/products/the-vine-project Guidance and the Voice of God – Phillip Jensen & Tony Payne https://matthiasmedia.com/products/guidance-and-the-voice-of-god Connect With Us 🌐 Website: https://matthiasmedia.com 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/everydayministrypodcast SIGN UP FOR WEEKLY EMAILS: HERE

S3E3 Thinking Right to Move Right: How the Gospel Shapes Christian Growth
How do Christians actually grow in maturity — and what does it look like for the gospel to shape our everyday lives? In this episode of Everyday Ministry, Lindsey Yeagley and Marty Sweeney continue their conversation about growing toward maturity in Christ by focusing on the means God uses to grow his people: his Word, prayer, and his people. A central theme of this episode is the difference between simply memorizing gospel truths and truly internalizing the gospel so that it shapes how we think, pray, obey, and help others grow. Lindsey and Marty explain why having a clear framework like Two Ways to Live is so valuable — not just as an evangelism tool, but as a formative structure that helps the gospel take root in our hearts and lives over time. They also reflect on why gospel clarity leads to gospel growth, how growth is often slow and uneven, and why helping others grow is a natural overflow of genuine maturity in Christ. Note: The audio quality in this episode is not quite what we'd hoped — thank you for your patience and grace as you listen. Key Topics The difference between memorizing the gospel and internalizing it Why Word, prayer, and people are God's primary tools for growth How Two Ways to Live shapes everyday Christian thinking and living The role of conviction, character, and competency in discipleship Why growth in Christ is often slow, non-linear, and deeply relational How gospel clarity fuels lasting growth and confidence Resources Mentioned Two Ways to Live – gospel tract and framework https://matthiasmedia.com/products/two-ways-to-live Learn the Gospel (study built around Two Ways to Live) https://matthiasmedia.com/products/learn-the-gospel The Trellis and the Vine – Colin Marshall & Tony Payne https://matthiasmedia.com/products/the-trellis-and-the-vine The Vine Project – Colin Marshall & Tony Payne https://matthiasmedia.com/products/the-vine-project Scripture Referenced Joshua 1:8–9 Matthew 16:24 John 3:36 Connect With Us 🌐 Website: https://matthiasmedia.com 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/everydayministrypodcast 💬 Join our WhatsApp group — link in bio or show notes

S3E2 Thinking Right to Move Right
In this episode of Everyday Ministry, Lindsey Yeagley and Marty Sweeney dig into the disciple-making idea of "moving to the right"—a phrase that comes from The Trellis and the Vine and The Vine Project by Tony Payne and Colin Marshall. They explore what it means to grow in maturity in Christ, why right thinking about the gospel leads to right living for Jesus, and how the Two Ways to Live framework helps us pursue daily growth as disciples. Together, they unpack how gospel clarity fuels gospel confidence, how sanctification is both God's work and our daily choice, and why looking "left" (helping others grow) is an essential mark of maturity. Key Topics What "moving to the right" means and why it matters How Two Ways to Live provides a framework for ongoing discipleship Why the gospel that saves us is also the gospel that grows us Signs of spiritual growth and maturity in everyday life How to disciple others by "looking left" Resources Mentioned 📘 Two Ways to Live – The Choice We All Face 📗 The Vine Project – Shaping Your Ministry Culture Around Disciple-Making 📙 The Trellis and the Vine 📒 The Thing Is by Tony Payne 📕 Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper 📗 Side by Side by Ed Welch 📘 Learn the Gospel – Learn More Scripture References Colossians 1:28–2:7 Romans 5–6 Hebrews 3, 10, and 12 Luke 24 Mark 10:45 Psalm 2 Connect with Us 🌐 matthiasmedia.com 📸 @everydayministrypodcast 💬 Join our WhatsApp group

S2E9 Turning Up the Evangelistic Heat – Practical Next Steps
In this special season of Everyday Ministry, we're bringing you key takeaways from Evangelize 2024! Hosts Marty Sweeney and Lindsey Yeagley discuss practical ways to raise the evangelistic temperature in our churches. Instead of just talking about evangelism, how do we take action? In this final episode, we explore concrete steps you can take: ✅ Pray with purpose – New Testament prayers focus on believers having boldness, not just on non-believers coming to faith. Try the Two for Two challenge: pray for 2 non-Christian friends for 2 minutes daily. ✅ Scatter gospel seeds – Keep evangelistic resources (books, booklets, Gospels of Mark/John) on hand and challenge yourself to give them away. ✅ Create an evangelistic funnel – A repeatable, warm, gospel-focused event where non-Christians hear the gospel clearly and are invited to respond. Where does this happen in your church? ✅ Train for clarity – Many Christians struggle to articulate the gospel. Resources like Two Ways to Live and Learn the Gospel help us explain our faith with confidence. ✅ Evangelize together – Evangelism isn't a solo effort. How can your church create a culture where sharing Jesus is natural and expected? We also discuss how patience, intentionality, and persistence play a role in long-term evangelistic impact. Plus, hear about an exciting new evangelism course by Dave Jensen, coming in 2025! 🔗 Resources Mentioned: Two Ways to Live training with Learn the Gospel and Share the Gospel by Tony Payne One-to-One Bible Reading by David Helm The Course of Your Life Dave Jensen's upcoming evangelistic resource (coming 2025) Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God – J.I.

Evangelize 2024 Denver Colorado
We're going for ourselves! And you should join us! We are running Evangelize 2024 so we can grow in evangelism, both as individuals and as part of a community of believers. Many people struggle with this task, so we discuss why Christians should seek, make, and not just wait for opportunities to share the gospel. It's essential to have a love for the lost and trust God to open blind eyes, but our passivity shouldn't prevent us from scattering seeds. By recognizing our need to grow in evangelism, we can come together to learn how to share the gospel, equip ourselves with tools, reach the lost, and provide a space at church. For the pastor: What is the role of the church body (trellises) beyond the individual Christian's effort that has invited a non-Christian to church? For the Christian: Are you dwelling on the truths of the gospel so you can speak it to the lost ones around you?

Leading the people in front of you well
Curriculum is just letters on a page. Our convictions give us an idea we want people to know and curriculum gives us a framework to get people into the bible and thinking this way. (For example: disciples understanding their calling as disciple-making disciples). Too much emphasis is put on the curriculum and not much on the goal and role of the class. The role of the teacher is not to just get through the course, it's to teach the people in front of you.

As we continue to engage with people that have come to church with us, we can take the next step to share the gospel and have intentional spiritual conversations.

Easter Truth and Triviality
It is hard to know what to say about Easter. I know, that sounds terrible. But what I mean is this - what could I possibly add to the message of Easter that isn't being said by your church and faithful gospel-speaking friends around you. A novel message is not what we as Christians are after. Thankfully, the message of Easter is the same as it has been for thousands of years.

The Course of Your Life
The Course of Your Life is a resource Tony has said is one of the most important resources he's ever worked on. In this video he shares why it's so important and how a resource like this can help a Christian understand what the Christian life is all about. Once we learn that the Christian life is not about ourselves, but about who God is and who Jesus is, then our driving central priority as a Christian is shifted.
