What Is the Result of Disciple Making? Answer: Disciple making results in a church that grows fruitfully and loves generously. If we let Jesus get close, he annoys us. If we let Jesus get closer, he scares us. If we let Jesus get even closer, he uses us to make disciples of all nations.

Join us on a journey of rediscovery and transformation, where we delve into the heart of what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus. Drawing from Mark 1:17 insights, we explore the shift needed in our approach to discipleship, moving from mere information to profound transformation. We confront the prevailing paradigms that hinder authentic discipleship. From intentional practices to relational depth, from personal transformation to Kingdom mission, we challenge ourselves to embrace a "Discipleshift" that aligns with the heart and mission of Jesus. Join us as we explore what it truly means to follow Jesus, be transformed by Him, and make disciples for His Kingdom. It's time to embrace the call of discipleship with renewed passion and purpose. Tune in and let's embark on this transformative journey together. Accompanying blog post coming soon!

We explore the necessity of reevaluating our understanding of discipleship in today's context. By examining the life and teachings of Jesus, we confront the discrepancy between knowing and obeying, aiming to transform stagnant faith into vibrant discipleship. Tune in for an enlightening discussion on building our lives on the rock-solid foundation of Jesus' teachings and embodying true discipleship in our communities.

There is a common disbelief in hell's existence. The central question emerges: How can a loving God condemn individuals to eternal suffering? God's love is inseparable from His justice, pointing to the cross as the embodiment of both. Without the reality of hell, God's justice, our freedom to choose, Jesus' truthfulness, the necessity of salvation, and the true nature of heaven would lose their significance. God doesn't abruptly switch from love to wrath. God's patience and provision of escape reassure us. Knowing and fearing God ultimately eliminate other fears.
