Lifeschool 205: Why You (Yes You!) Need a Discipleship Coach

Is Time Running Out On Your Relationships? (How Gospel Fluency Changes Everything)

How Gospel Fluency Changes Everything in Life

Ever feel like you and another person you love are speaking two different languages? And nothing ever changes?

  • In your marriage…
  • With your kids…
  • With your parents & siblings…

Even as a Christian, often your best intentioned “good news” doesn’t sound like good news to the other person.

Lifeschool 192: Why Intentional Disciple-Making = Real Church Growth

Much of the Church today seems to be operating with a “functional Great Commission”: Go into all the world and make more worship attenders, baptizing them in the name of small groups, and teaching them to volunteer a few times a month.

This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we talk with author and sought-after consultant, Will Mancini, about why intentional disciple-making = real church growth.

Lifeschool 188: Conversion Without Discipleship? Why You Need Both

Church doctrines of grace and salvation, in some cases, may actually prevent us from creating an expectation that we are to be and make disciples. Do our existing models of evangelism and discipleship fail to produce true followers of Jesus?

This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we dive into the importance of recovering a robust view of the gospel and taking seriously the connection between conversion and discipleship with Bill Hull, a “discipleship evangelist” (I love that term!) who’s the author of a bunch of bestselling discipleship classics.
