Ordinary Discussions with Jeremy McCommons

Most Christians live with one foot in the world and one foot in church.That's how Matt described his first six years following Jesus. Saved at Texas A&M in 2015. Faithful on Sundays. Attending some small groups.Then he was invited to a discipleship group. Not another Bible study. A discipleship group. He didn't know what the word meant. He showed up anyway.This week's episode is his story.Matt is a Navy officer now stationed in Jacksonville. He went through OM in Virginia, got baptized in January 2023, moved to a new state with no group and no people, launched a Bible study, and then launched an OM group last year.A few things in this conversation worth your time:→ Why six years of church attendance didn't move him much→ The moment a leader called on him to pray and the floor dropped out→ Why a regular Bible study didn't get the buy-in he was looking for→ What changed in his growth when he stopped participating and started leading→ What he'd say to the version of himself who was still on the sidelinesIf you've ever sat in church for years and quietly wondered if there was supposed to be more — this one is for you. If you know someone who has, send it to them.
