2022-02-0135 minThe KC Underground PodcastFast vs Slow Part 1Cory and Brian begin a series within a series...again. We're looking at the idea of "Slow vs Fast" in disciple-making movements. The purpose of discussing this idea is because when we talk about DMM in the West, we primarily think of "faster, bigger, greater." But the truth is that we have to lean into purposeful and intentional, daily obedience. The pace at which the Gospel moves is not up to us.

Plant the Gospel
In this episode we're moving to the next big shift in the conversation of "Mindset to Movement," which is the move from Church Planting to Gospel Planting. We don't plant churches, we plant the gospel, make disciples and the church emerges out of new disciple-making. This is an introduction episode to the next several weeks where we will interview friends of the Underground who are practitioners and think in similar ways.
We just laugh [00:14]
We have to move from “church planting” to “gospel planting” [1:45]

The KC Underground PodcastPrayer of Examen (Episode #12)Episode 12 is all about the Prayer of Examen as we continue in our series on Extraordinary Prayer and Fasting. We've already had one training episode on Activating Prayer that was more about a breathing out type of prayer. The Prayer of Examen is a breathing in type of prayer. It's less about active mission and more about Jesus and His gospel, through the Spirit and the everyday stuff of life speaking over us. Our hope is that it will be a useful tool in your prayer life.
A number of resources were accessed to put tog...

The KC Underground PodcastMindset, Momentum, MovementBrian and Cory explore the idea of disciple-making movements. What does that phrase even mean? How do you know you have one? What leads to a movement?
We’ve overused another word in the Christian world. We’ve become obsessed with the idea of movement, and we might be using the word to describe something we want to be a part of rather than something that is actually happening. Instead of over-selling our work, we’ll explore other language that can help us make incremental steps in order to see movement as the fruit of a long-term work.
