E126: Todd Brown | Unlocking Marketplace Discipleship

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1444414/fan_mail/new] In Episode 126, Todd Brown challenges the way we think about ministry and discipleship. What if the real mission field isn’t inside the church, but in the everyday workplaces of your people? Todd unpacks how “marketplace ministry” empowers believers to live on mission right where they are, while reminding leaders that true discipleship means teaching people to obey the commands of Christ—not just hear them. Along the way, he shares personal stories, including the simple joy of growing up as a preacher’s kid and the unexpected impact of a good potluck. This conversation will encourage you to equip and send your people with purpose.
