S1E35 Life - The Vine and Branches

S1E36 Life - Sacrificial Living with Isaiah Thomas

In John 12, Jesus describes his followers like a seed that must fall to the ground to die in order to bear fruit. That can feel like an extreme picture. But in nature the seed actually takes deep root and then multiplies as it grows. Discipleship to Jesus does require us to live sacrificially, with a heart for others. Isaiah Thomas is the youth pastor at West End Presbyterian Church in Richmond, VA.

S1E35 Life - The Vine and Branches

One of my favorite images of life with Jesus comes in John 15. Jesus describes a relationship with him like a branch abiding in a vine. We get to attach ourselves to the life of Jesus with JOY. What does it look like to be attached to the true vine?

S1E34 Truth - Discipleship with Marty Purks

Discipleship is as simple as taking a step towards Jesus. On this episode I get to talk with Marty Purks, retired InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and Younglife Staff. Marty shares about how Lordship and Faithfulness are crucial to our discipleship journeys.

S1E33 Truth - Following Jesus

In John 14, Jesus tells his disciples he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. But immediately after making that bold statement, he invites the disciples to believe him and follow his commands.  In this episode we talk about how following Jesus can be aided by using a discipleship cycle: Hear the Word, Respond Actively, and Debrief/Interpret. Hopefully this tool will help you mature as you follow Jesus.
