The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,275: Learning to Live by FaithIt was your faith that brought you into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Faith was your response to the grace of God. The Bible says we are saved by our faith in Jesus. Yet, God is not just asking us for faith that leads to salvation. He’s asking for daily faith.Main Points:1. Everyday, you and I live by faith.

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,270: How to Love God with Your SoulThe Bible teaches us we are to love God with our soul. This refers to the inner man. We are to love God with our emotions, feelings, intellect, and will.Main Points:1. To love God with all your soul is to love God with your entire inner life. This means everything your inner life experiences - everything you feel, decide, believe, think, choose, want, dwell on, turn to, and pursue – is about your soul. 2. The soul is about what makes you happy, what fills you wit...2025-06-2705 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,261: The Most Important Question You Will Ever Be Asked.Who is Jesus Christ? This is the most important question you will ever be asked. A good man? A great teacher? A revolutionary leader? Or is he the Christ, the Son of the Living God? Who was he? Who is he? Your eternal destiny hangs on your answer.Main Points:1. Jesus came as a savior and as a king, but not an earthly one. He came for a greater purpose. He came to save us from a greater oppression than a Roman army. He came to save us from our si...2025-06-1305 min $The Children\'s Book Podcast$ The Children's Book PodcastSomething Like Home with Matt de la Peña and Loren LongMatt de la Peña and Loren Long, author and illustrator of Home (G.P.

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,231: Your Fire and Passion for GodWhen describing a Christian who is passionate about their faith in Jesus, we might say they are “on fire for God.” We are saying they are fervent and zealous about their relationship with Jesus. You would likely agree that this intense and passionate pursuit of Jesus has to be maintained. We have to intentionally stoke the fire to keep it burning hot. If not, the fire will eventually burn out. A fire left alone will burn out. It’s only a matter of time.Main Points:1. I want to challenge you to...2025-05-0205 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,230: God Knows What We NeedWe have a Father who is always there. Night or day, whenever the going gets tough, we can trust that He will never abandon us. He has promised to care for us, and He knows better than we do what we need.Main Points:1. God knows. He knows what I need. He knows what I am going through. He knows what I am facing right now. My heavenly Father knows. How comforting this is to an anxious heart.2. We don’t pray to tell God things that He...2025-05-0105 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,229: If You Are Weary, Come to JesusJesus doesn’t offer us a philosophy to cure our weariness. He doesn’t provide a path to enlightenment or ten steps to lessen our stress. No, He offers something incredibly better. Jesus offers himself. Main Points:1. We all experience weariness in different ways and for different reasons. Our pace of life seems so fast that we can’t keep up. Being busy is our badge of honor. 2. In the busyness of life that creates this weariness, there must be a break in the schedule to simply...2025-04-3005 min

Career Blast in a HalfHow to Make, Not Find Meaning to Matter I Matt EmerzianThe world is obsessed with metrics and status. But the most important currency is the one you’re missing. Most of us spend our careers chasing validation – titles and paychecks. I did too. So did our guest Matt Emerzian. The brutal reality? Your job search misery, corporate culture complaints, and endless pursuit of status are all symptoms of the same disease: The belief that mattering is something you find rather than something YOU make. Think this theoretical? Think again: Get Matt’ 5 Frameworks to Make Your Life Matter I...2025-04-3035 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,228: Choose Your Words CarefullyYou and I know a powerful truth very well. Words have power. Our words have the power to bless, encourage, inspire, uplift, and bring hope. Our words also have the power to wound, critique, discourage, and cause pain. Every day we get a choice of which kind of words we will use.Main Points:1. What are “reckless words?” How do we know if we are using them? Many types of speech can be considered reckless and potentially hurtful. I think of unnecessary criticism, sarcasm, insensitive comments, blame-shifting, offensive jokes, public humil...2025-04-2905 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,225: Life's Most Important DecisionThe most important decision any of us will make is the decision to place our faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. All other decisions pale in comparison. Why? Because this decision has eternal implications. Placing our faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection for our sins provides us with forgiveness of our sins, and gives us the promise of eternal life.Main Points:1. While many know Jesus, they have yet to believe. They still haven’t decided to make Him their Savior and Lord. They are living in a pla...2025-04-2405 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,216: Jesus is Building His ChurchWhat is Jesus doing today? He is building His church. We hear stories about churches closing and increasing statistics of people who won’t belong to a church community, yet you and I need to be assured of one great truth: Jesus will build His church.Main Points:1. Recently, I’ve been hearing this phrase more and more. “I love Jesus, but I don’t love the church.” I’m also hearing a lot of people say, “You know, you don’t have to go to church to go to Heaven, you just...2025-04-1105 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,214: A Fresh Hunger for GodPhysical hunger is not your only craving. You also possess a spiritual hunger. This appetite also cries out to be fed. Both types of hunger were created by God. Physical hunger can only be satisfied by food. Spiritual hunger can only be satisfied by God.Main Points:1. You have a longing in your soul for God. Many feel the yearning but do not recognize that it is spiritual in nature. They feel a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction with life. So many people are thinking, “There must be something more to...2025-04-0905 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,209: Everything for the Glory of GodThat is what we live for: to experience the glory of God, to reflect it, to bring it to the world around us, not for our own sake but for the praise of His glory and honor.Main Points:1. The glory of God refers to his beauty, majesty, purity, and power. It speaks of the greatness and wonder of God. 2. In His love for us, God created us to experience himself. He created us to experience his glory. We get to experience God’s beauty, power, love, and...2025-04-0105 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,207: God's Comfort When we MournAll through the Scripture, we see that our God is a God of comfort! The comfort of God is available to us when we are experiencing different kinds of loss and grief.Main Points:1. It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to mourn. God created us with the ability to express these emotions. I’ve ministered to Christians who felt they weren’t supposed to mourn or that if they were grieving they were failing God. It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to weep. God wants you to experience his comfort...2025-03-2705 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,206: Do our Motives Matter?We discover that God cares about the heart. God wants us to love Him, value Him, and esteem Him above all things. When we serve the Lord out of sincere hearts, wanting to please Him, and wanting to give Him the glory, he rewards us only a loving Heavenly Father can.Main Points:1. In Jesus’ great Sermon on the Mount he speaks to the heart of what we do for God, not just what we do for God. We learn that it’s not just the act of serving God that pleases the...2025-03-2605 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,202: Revenge Is Not An OptionHave you ever felt the temptation to take revenge? Your work colleague takes the credit for a project you have worked so hard on. Your so-called friend betrays your confidence and spreads lies about you. Your spouse has been unfaithful. Someone has attacked you, mistreated you, ignored you, or socially rejected you. Main Points:1. Revenge is the desire or urge to get even with somebody. To punish or cause harm as an act of retaliation. 2. The idea of revenge is only an illusion. You can never “get even”...2025-03-2005 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,200: The Hunger and Thirst for RighteousnessThe question Jesus asks in Matthew 5:6 is….”Do we possess a craving hunger and thirst for God’s righteous life? The promise? “If we do, we will be filled.”Main Points:1. Because of our lack of hunger, it may be difficult for us to understand this particular beatitude. We rarely hunger and thirst after anything, so we miss the urgency of these words.2. If you and I want righteousness, we can have it. If you want a closer relationship with God, you can have it. Jesus provides the way. If...2025-03-1805 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,195: Jesus is AccessibleJesus invites us all to come. Think of the amazing accessibility of Jesus. There has never been a higher king. No king has ever had more power and authority. Yet, this king is accessible. He is approachable. He invites us all to come. He welcomes us into his presence. Main Points:1. Jesus, the King of Kings invites us to come to Him. The King who has authority and power over every earthly king, does not hide in a castle or a place.

There are places where there are no churches, no missionaries, no translations of the Bible in local languages, and no access to the salvation message.2. With the use of the ever-increasing tools of t...2025-03-0405 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,170: Take Up Your CrossThe call to discipleship is a call to deny ourselves. We take up our cross as we die to earthly sin, values, and lifestyle. It is to wholeheartedly embrace the life of Christ. It is a life of surrender to Christ and an abandonment to things of this world. To take up the cross means to identify with Christ in His rejection, shame, suffering, and death.Main Points:1. It’s common today when speaking of a hardship or difficulty someone has to live with to say, “Well, I guess it’s just my cro...2025-01-3005 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,117: According to Jesus, Money is a Spiritual IssueAccording to Jesus, money is a spiritual issue. Loving money is a root cause for many kinds of sin. Greed and materialism can consume our hearts. The ambition and drive for more and more and more can turn into idolatry and can lead us away from the Lord. Jesus is not saying wealth is bad in and of itself. There were many wealthy people in the Bible. He is not pushing poverty as a way to godliness. But he does want us to consider where we are investing our treasure.Main Points:1. When...2024-11-1105 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,112: Will You Be A Peacemaker?The children of God are peacemakers. A peacemaker is someone who intentionally works to help people reconcile with God and others. Anyone who does the hard work of peacemaking will be blessed by God.Main Points:1. The word “peace” in Matthew 5:9 combines two Greek words. Together they mean to bring about wholeness, to bring all the essential parts together in wholeness.2. Peace-making requires God’s power. Real and lasting peace is impossible to create without God’s help. You can’t make what you don’t have. The only way to have i...2024-11-0405 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#1,070: The Prayer of SurrenderOut of all the prayers we pray, there is one prayer that is more difficult than all the others. It is the prayer of surrender. The prayer of submission to God is harder than all other prayers. It requires great trust in God. It demands a letting go of our control. It’s releasing the situation in God’s hands and trusting Him to meet the need as He sees best.Main Points:1. The reason this prayer is more difficult is because we like control, or at least the illusion of c...2024-09-0405 min $The Children\'s Book Podcast$ The Children's Book PodcastCuriosity Comes From Everywhere with Loren LongLoren Long, author illustrator of The Yellow Bus (Roaring Brook Press), talks about his contemplative exploration of the life of a bus.

The 5 Minute Discipleship PodcastMost Popular Episodes: Our Battle With WorryI’ve found that often times worry has to do with the fear of what could possibly happen. They haven’t happened.

Not only can it make us emotionally and mentally unwell, but it can also cause physical illness too. Is there a cure?Main Points:1.

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's so easy to get swept away by the demands of the world.

Does this describe your relationship with God? Can you say you are pushing Jesus with great energy and enthusiasm?Main Points:1. “Zeal” is not a word used much in our English vocabulary. We hear another word used much more frequently, the word “passion.” But the word “zeal” or “zealous” is used 36 times in scripture. 2. As we look at scripture, we discover that having zeal for the Lord is a heart i...2023-12-2805 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#555: The Secret Place of PrayerThe Big Idea: Every believer needs a secret place. Where is your quiet place? Where can you regularly get alone with God in prayer?

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#544: Spiritual Heart ProblemsThe Big Idea: If there is good treasure in the heart, it will show; if evil, that also will show in time.

In fact, it’s God’s will for your faith to grow. A mustard seed can grow to become a strong, tall tree. So it is with your faith. The more you trust God, the more you will experience his power. The result is greater faith.Main Points:1. Faith is essential for the Christian. In fact, you cannot become...2022-02-1705 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#541: The Cross Requires RepentanceThe Big Idea: One of the reasons we fail to offer God true repentance is that we don’t always see sin as sin. It seems awful to call it a sin, so we call it something more acceptable. We’ll say it is a struggle, a mistake, a challenge, or even a failure. But we must see sin through God’s eyes. Sin is missing the mark. It’s missing God’s standards and for our sins, He calls us to repent.Main Points:1. What we often do...2022-02-1505 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#538: How to be a Strong ChristianThe Big Idea: Today, you and I can work on our foundation. In fact, we never stop working. We are to keep growing in God’s grace. We continue to pursue a closer relationship with God. We go deeper in His Word. We grow in our faith. We use our gifts to serve God. We obey His Word. All of this contributes to a strong foundation for our lives.Main Points:1. We are all building a spiritual house. What foundation are you building on? Are you tak...2022-02-1205 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#534: Seeking God FirstThe Big Idea: In Matthew 6:33, Jesus says we are to seek God, but he goes on to say that we are to seek him “first.” This is the matter of priority. We all seek for something. We might seek for opportunity, position, resources, and open doors. We could seek for pleasure, enjoyment, comfort, success, and fulfillment. We might seek for friendship, family, and connection. We all seek something, but Jesus said for those who would follow him, we must seek God and his kingdom first.Main Points:1...2022-02-0805 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#532: Why Forgiveness is EssentialThe Big Idea: Forgiving others begins when we realize how much God has forgiven us. You and I could make a list of the offenses God has forgiven. We didn’t earn his forgiveness and we certainly don’t deserve it. He has offered us forgiveness because he loves us. When we realize that we have been forgiven for so much, it is a lot easier to offer forgiveness to others.Main Points:1. Jesus’ command to forgive is one of the most difficult commands for us to obey...2022-02-0605 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#531: Flee TemptationThe Big Idea: We must see that with God’s help, we have the power to flee and to run away from temptation. If we are hesitant, if we wait and entertain the temptation, we lose power against it. God’s Word teaches us to flee.Main Points:1. Temptation is something everyone of us will face. No one is immune. To be tempted is not sin – it’s what you do with the temptation that’s important. Even Jesus was tempted. 2. So, how do we flee temptati...2022-02-0505 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#515: The Golden Rule RevisitedThe Big Idea: The only capacity we have to live out the Golden Rule is with the love of God flowing through us. Let’s ask God to fill our hearts with his love so that we can genuinely reflect it to others.Main Points:1. In Matthew chapters five, six, and seven, Jesus gives his most famous teaching, and his lengthiest recorded sermon. We call it the Sermon on the Mount. In these chapters Jesus teaches us about the Kingdom of God. In 7:12 Jesus gives us a one ver...2022-01-1905 min

Additionally, he is the founder of Appellation Wine Brands, a luxury lifestyle company that...2022-01-1950 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#512: Why Confession is Still ImportantThe Big Idea: Sin thrives in the darkness, but confession brings it in the light. Freedom is found in confession. Now you are no longer alone in the struggle. You have a trusted friend and prayer partner who will join you in the struggle and who can hold you accountable.Main Points:1. Is there a place for confessing our sins to one another? Is there a biblical call for this type of confession?2. Find a trusted Christian friend or leader, someone with spiritual maturity, and s...2022-01-1605 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#510: Learning to Feed Your SoulThe Big Idea: A sometimes forgotten area in which we need deliberate feeding is our spiritual life. Without spiritual nourishment, we will be weak. We won't have the strength to stand for God in times of difficulty, temptation, and testing. Just as we daily feed our physical bodies, we must learn to daily feed our souls.Main Points:1. If you are expecting one sermon a week to provide all the spiritual nourishment you need, you are mistaken. We need daily nourishment and you can learn to f...2022-01-1405 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#506: The Importance of the Lord's SupperThe Big Idea: As we participate in the Lord’s Supper, we recognize that you and I are called to be a part of the body of Christ. We are the church. We belong to each other. We need each other. It is a celebration of our friendship and fellowship with each other. It is Christ and his sacrifice for us that unites us. It’s what makes us overlook each other’s faults. It’s what helps us put up with each other, love each other, forgive each other, and serve each other.2022-01-1005 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#500: The Call to Follow JesusThe Big Idea: The same call to follow Jesus has been given to you and me. We are not just called to salvation, we are called to live the life of a disciple, a follower of Christ. In this following we learn and grow and are changed. In the following, we too are able to fulfill our purpose.Main Points:1. Jesus tells us that if our desire is to serve God, we must follow him. What happens when we follow? Well, we relinquish control of the direction. We a...2022-01-0405 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#493: Emmanuel, God With UsThe Big Idea: What a revelation! What a promise! What a life-changing truth! We have a God who is with us. God is not distant. He has not isolated himself from his creation. No, he is Emmanuel, God with us.Main Points:1. Loneliness is not just our separation from one another (meaningful relationships), but ultimately our separation from God. Jesus has come to restore us to God. If we miss this truth, we miss everything about Christmas.2. Before Jesus came, sin separated us from God. It prevented us...2021-12-2305 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#485: The Virtue of HumilityThe Big Idea: What is Humility? Humility is an accurate estimation of our self-importance in relation to God and others. Here’s another definition I like… “Having a right view of yourself because you have a right view of God.” Humility is not thinking too highly of yourself. It’s also not thinking too low of yourself.Main Points:1. To God, humility is a virtue. It’s a Christ-like character trait we are to emulate. It’s not popular in today’s culture. It’s not praised or valued, but it does ho...2021-12-1505 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#473: Partners in PrayerThe Big Idea: God never intended us to practice our faith in isolation. This concept is not in the New Testament. Sometimes today I’ll hear people say, “I don’t need the church. I don’t need to be around other Christian. Jesus himself is enough for me.” While you may not feel you need other believers in your life, other believers do need you. In the Bible, wherever we see Christians, we see them coming together. We were meant to serve Jesus together. Nothing brings us together more than supporting each other in prayer....2021-12-0305 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#471: The Spiritual Discipline of SilenceThe Big Idea: Solitude and silence before the Lord are helpful because it quietens our soul. Even if you find a place to be alone and there is no external noise, you still have to quieten the noise inside. Within us, there are the sounds of stress, anxiety, fear, and worry. Sometimes it’s harder to silence the inner noise than it is the external.Main Points:1. Our days are long and full. They are filled with activity and conversation. Rarely, do we find the time to be stil...2021-12-0105 min

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast#453: Jesus Must Be Our TreasureEpisode 453 - Show NotesAs we observe human nature, we see that there is a great diversity in what we value. Many value success and accomplishment. Some will value houses and cars. Some will value travel and experiences. Others will value giving their children opportunities for sports. We all value different things. There is nothing inherently wrong with this as much of our choices have to do with our personalities. However, as disciples, we must value Jesus above all things. We must ask ourselves the hard question: What would my look like if I valued Jesus above all th...2021-11-1205 min

Out of Patients with Matthew ZacharyStarting From Scratch: From Chemo to Cookie DoughToday I talk to baking businesswoman Loren Brill. While battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in her early twenties, Loren became interested in health foods. But she couldn’t find many store-bought snacks that weren’t loaded with artificial flavors and ingredients. So after she recovered from cancer, Loren set out on another life-affirming mission: She founded Sweet Loren’s, which specializes in vegan cookie dough made with all-natural ingredients. Because she wanted to prove that one can be good to their body without giving up the sweet things in life. Find out more about Sweet Loren’s at https://swe...2021-10-1926 min

GoodlifeNews!Episode 15, "What Are Your Motives?"Is it safe to say that everything we do or say has some motive behind it? Jesus said, "Out of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12:34).
