It is important that we understand the times in which we are living (1 Chronicles 12:32, Romans 13:11). It is, as the Australian pastor, Mark Sayers says: If we don't understand the way things have changed, we run the risk of discipling people for a world that once existed, but not the world in which we currently live, or the one that...2022-11-0256 min

Loving the unloved is often not easy. It requires the choice to live in a self-sacrificial manner that often runs counter to the wisdom of this age. It is, however, what disciples of Jesus are called to do. Join us we talk through...2022-10-1254 min

Last week we looked at a number Old Testament passages that helped us gain an understanding of what Biblical repentance is about. Here's how we said it then: "Biblical repentance is every bit as much about what will happen in the future as it is about what has happened in the past. In other words, repentance begins with a deep conviction about the past that leads to a consecrated future." In this episode, we take this discussion one step...2022-09-2152 min

In this episode Paul and Ben talk through the another truth; humanity rejected the relationship God offered.Understanding our offense against God is a pivotal point in the journey back to Him.

Practice Makes FaithfulEpisode 21 • Under Pressure, Part 5 • Live Life With the End in Mind.This week, Paul and Ben conclude the series "Under Pressure."

Practice Makes FaithfulEpisode 15 • Sent, Part 3 • Commissioned to Go Into the World, AccomplishedThis week much of the world celebrated Easter and the resurrection of Jesus. As we do so on the Practice Makes Faithful podcast, we consider Jesus' prayer in John 17 as He declares, "the hour has come." Jesus knew what was ahead--His arrest, the torture and crucifixion at the hands of the Roman government, but as He prays to the Father, his heart and mind are centered on three things: His mission, His disciples, and all those who would come to believe in Him as the gospel message was preached.We enjoy your questions and comments!

Practice Makes FaithfulEpisode 14 • Sent, Part 2 • Commissioned to Go Into the World, EquippedThis week on the podcast we move into part two of the series "Sent". Last week we asked the question, "How do you think the disciples would have felt knowing that they had been called and chosen by Jesus?" That question, and the realization that we have also been chosen by God, helped to lay the foundation for the rest of this series. But that is the just beginning. After Jesus chose his disciples, He spent the next several years investing his energy to develop them for the mission that lay ahead. He taught them. He trained...2022-04-1254 min

You have been called and chosen by God! Join us as we flesh out just what that means.2022-04-0554 min

Practice Makes FaithfulEpisode 12 • With You Always: The Indwelling Presence and Work of the Holy Spirit, Part 4This week on the podcast Paul and Ben wrap up the series "With You Always." As we who follow Jesus seek to live out the mission of Jesus, we are deeply dependent upon the presence of the Holy Spirit. We need God to open doors. We need God to make us bold. We need a power that we will never find within us--one that only comes from God. Jesus' first disciples were taught by the best teacher they could have asked for. They were well equipped. They had been trained to be like their master. In spite...2022-03-2949 min

We all fight a battle between the flesh and its desire for control over our lives, and the spiritual desire to surrender control to the work of God in us. Romans 8 reminds us that this is not a battle we should or can fight alone. It is by the power of the Spirit, the same power that raised Jesus from the...2022-03-2250 min

Practice Makes FaithfulEpisode 8 • Back On Track, Part 8 • The Party We're Gifted (Disciple-making Requires Teamwork!)Rob joins Paul and Ben for a conversation following part 4 of the series "Back on Track." In this episode, Rob, Paul and Ben discuss the power of teamwork as it relates to making disciples of Jesus. In 1 Corinthians 3, the apostle Paul says that he planted the seeds of faith in the Corinthian church. Later someone named Apollos came along and watered those seeds. But nothing would have happened if God had not caused the seed to grow. In this we learn two things: 1, we are not able, no matter the eloquence of our words, or the cleverness...2022-03-1655 min

Practice Makes FaithfulEpisode 10 • With You Always: The Indwelling Presence and Work of the Holy Spirit, Part 2In this week's episode Paul and Ben discuss the struggle many of us who have been raised in intellectual church traditions share as we try to embrace the presence and work of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes our skepticism simply exists because we don't know what we don't know. Others may have had negative experiences.But Jesus calls all of us to realize that apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:5). However, through the work of the Holy Spirit, Christians will be able to do even greater things than Jesus did (John 14:12).Paul ends with...2022-03-1550 min

Practice Makes FaithfulEpisode 7 • Back On Track, Part 3 • The People We Remember (Loving the Marginalized Like Jesus)Rob joins Paul and Ben for a conversation following part 3 of the series "Back on Track." In this episode, Rob helps us think through what it means to love and be willing to relationally disciple those who find themselves on the margins of society. We are all tempted to surround ourselves with those who look like us, think like us, act like us, and so on. This week, we allow the words of the apostle Paul, the words of Jesus, and the words of James to challenge us about the practice of keeping marginalized people at arms...2022-02-2248 min

This week Rob reminds us about the importance of leaning on the Holy Spirit for the power we need as we seek to make disciples. There is a temptation to trust in cleverness, eloquence, and the power of persuasion when trying to lead people to know Jesus, but in doing so we forget that the power we need belongs to God alone. The apostle Paul reminds us (1 Corinthians 1:5, NIV) that we lean on God's power when communicating the mystery of God, "...2022-02-1544 min
