Transforming DiscipleshipPete Scazzero on Slow, Deep Discipleship in The Early ChurchHow did the early church fathers practice discipleship? What can we learn from them and apply to our lives today?In this episode, Oliver Hersey explores those questions with Pete Scazzero, author of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship: Moving from Shallow Christianity to Deep Transformation
In addition to studying the early church Scazzero also studied the gospel of Matthew for years to learn how Jesus discipled the twelve apostles. “The disciples wanted to be popular,” he explains. “They didn’t want suffering and failure.”
Those temptations and struggles still exist today. But how can Christians reject popularity, and embrace the cross? That’s where Scazz...2021-07-2738 minTransforming DiscipleshipNicky Gumbel How the Church Can Help People in the Wake of This PandemicHow can the church come alongside people after the pandemic? In this episode, Oliver Hersey and Kelsey Bowse explore that question with Nicky Gumbel, Vicar at Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) in London, England.
He’s also the pioneer of Alpha, a program that started in 1977 that helps people explore questions of faith in fifteen sessions. He left his legal career behind, to work in ministry full-time, with his wife Pippa Gumbel.
“This is the greatest evangelistic opportunity of a lifetime,” Nicky said. His church had its largest turn out for Alpha in 2020, with 1,600 people attending online.

“After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.” And leaving everything, he rose and followed him (Lk. 5:27-32).”
Soon after this encounter, Levi invited Jesus, and his tax-collector fr...2021-06-1520 minTransforming DiscipleshipKristyn Getty on Singing Classic Hymns with Her Family and ChurchWhy is singing an important part of worship?

Dr. Wright said “we need to be men and women of mission. We need to see that we are participating in God’s mission in this world. We need to be followers of Jesus who are about the things that Jesus was about.”
In regards to prayer, and issues of social justice – Dr. Wright pointed to the Psalms and...2021-05-1826 minTransforming DiscipleshipPraying with Both Eyes Open, with J.R. BriggsHow can you live in the tension of the ‘now, and not yet?’ Oliver Hersey and J.R. Briggs, author of The Sacred Overlap - Learning to Live in the Space In Between reflect on the mystery of the Christian life, as it relates to prayer, community and difficult questions we wrestle with.
Briggs said “If you think about the overlapped life – it’s kind of like closing one eye. You can still see, but your depth perception and your peripheral vision is skewed significantly. We need both eyes in order to see with sharpness, clarity and depth.”
He talks about the “ma...2021-05-0444 minTransforming DiscipleshipWhen the Masks Come OffHow can you ‘take off your mask off’ to be fully known? Oliver Hersey and John Lynch, author of “On My Worst Day: The Narrative changes When Redemption Enters In” explore that question.

Lynch describes the paradoxes that we live in sometimes, as Christians. Your life can be messy, but you’re still made new in...2021-04-2046 minTransforming DiscipleshipRecovering the Lost Art of DiscipleshipHow can you participate in the divine life? Oliver Hersey and Dr. Cherith Fee Nordling, Associate Professor at the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies at Regent College explore this question, in light of the Trinity.
She said “He is still incarnate, embodied, busy and is happy to invite us to be part of things.” Her students are blown away, when they find out that Jesus still has a body, is around 5’4’’ tall and Palestinian.

Childers argues that Christians should be able to give an “apologia,” or defense for their faith.

He wrote A Church Called Tov: Forming a Goodness Culture That Resists Abuses of Power and Promotes Healing with his daughter, Laura Barringer. They saw mega-churches around them become toxic, and leaders of those churches make poor decisions. So they wanted to write a book, to explore why these fractures happen in the church, and how people can create a culture of tov, or goodness instead.
McKnight said “Our goal was to present what the ch...2021-02-2334 minTransforming DiscipleshipDiscipleship in the Wilderness of Lent, with Jen Pollock MichelCan your faith become a habit in a spiritual wilderness?

I think repentance and return are daily...2021-02-0955 minTransforming DiscipleshipFaithful Discipleship in Idolatrous Times, with Dr. Christopher WrightHow do you know if you’re worshiping an idol? In this episode, Oliver Hersey and Dr. Christopher Wright, author of Here Are Your Gods: Faithful Discipleship in Idolatrous Times explore this question. Idols existed in ancient cultures, and now exist in a different form: as sports stadiums, national symbols, or even as political figures (the president, or prime minister) and are meant to display what is “powerful” or “awesome.”
We live in a fallen world, yet aim to live by God’s standards and values. Wright indicated that learning to “negotiate the difference” creates tension for Christians.
Dr. Wright said “We want to...2021-01-2622 minTransforming DiscipleshipNicky Gumbel on Marriage, and Alpha Ministry in the UKHow can you strengthen your marriage?

In this episode, Oliver Hersey and Bill Search, contributors at smallgroups.com talk about types of small groups, and what elements make up a healthy small group.
Bill said “Small groups, almost all of them have emphasis on relationships, some sort of emphasis on spiritual growth, Bible study and somewhere woven in is an outward perspective, whether it’s praying for people, or serving as a group.”
For some pastors, safety is major concern in planning logist...2020-12-1520 minTransforming DiscipleshipSean Brakey on What Churches Can Learn From AirbnbWhat should the church look like today? Sean Brakey, Pastor and Elder at We Are Church argues that if you can run an Airbnb, you can probably run a church too. That’s why “simple gatherings,” the sixth core practice of We Are Church is so important for making disciples. This allows for laypeople to rise up, and serve in leadership roles.

So there’s an intentional...2020-12-0100 minTransforming DiscipleshipAdvent: Reorienting How We Live in TimeHow can celebrating Advent shape our desires this year?

Oliver Hersey and Jeff Klein, Pastor of Outreach at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church explore this question. Consider the triangle of discipleship which has three essential parts: up, in and out. Focusing "in" is often the easiest part of discipleship. But we have to go "out" in the world, to be on mission for Jesus. In this episode, Jeff talks about his church incorporates outreach into their gatherings, every 30 days. He said "Jesus was concerned about two groups of people, the lost and the least."

Being a disciple simply means “deciding to be a follower or student of a particular master.” Essentially, a Christian is a student, or a disciple of Jesus.

In this episode, our host Oliver Hersey and Bill Search, smallgroups.com contributor explore this question. 1 John 2:6 says “Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.” Discipleship is about "walking the walk" by following Jesus's patterns and teachings. When people see authentic discipleship in action, they’re naturally drawn to it. Bill talks about the call to walk like Jesus walked and what that means for Christians today. Converted hearts is what Jesus is looking for which leads to redemption.2020-05-2716 minElevationNG PodcastUndeniable Encounters by Godman AkinlabiWe are glad that you're here.

Odessa Bible ChurchBetter Body: Connecting"Why are Small Groups important?"
We get this question often -- the answer, you need to know more about Christ, and you need to see Christ.
When we gather with friends or family, it's a good thing -- but our purpose is different than gathering for a small group. Our central focus is on Jesus.
