Today I continue to develop the idea of a discipleship that is sustainable and continuous - and that works in the real world.
I really do believe that we make the idea and practice of discipleship much harder than it needs to be. Therefore, I try to envision a discipleship that is real, untangled, and organic. I hope that this episode churns out of you some helpful thoughts and developments for your context! 
At the start of this new church year/school year, I ask you to think about your understanding of discipleship in your ministry context.
Spend the next few days with me thinking about what is and what is not discipleship. Is your church filled with disciples? Are they in the discipleship process? What is that process? I think most of us make this way, WAY harder than it needs to be. Let's take a refreshing plunge into this topic and maybe we can all learn together and have some HOPE for a better tomorrow in this area of... Discipleship. Enjoy! 
Andrew Root joined me on the podcast today to talk about the most important things around being a pastor - one of which is helping our people imagine a Living God who comes, and loves, and acts.
We talk about social media and its role in our lives and ministry. We talk about writing, pastoring, and parenting - a short, but profound conversation that you will enjoy and be encouraged by! 
In the last in this series on preventing overwhelm and burnout, I share a principle made widely known by Andy Stanley about 20 years ago, which I think that if followed, may just be the most effective way to prevent stress, overwhelm, and burnout.
I have been trying to do this for twenty years, and I'll keep practicing it, because I still have a long way to go, but am more convinced of it than ever! 
When we want to combat stress, overwhelm, and burnout - probably our #1 super power and secret and weapon is sleep!
Jeff unpacks that on today's episode - because, it is so vitally important, and also the first thing we throw overboard when we get busy, much to our detriment! Enjoy! |
