    Discipleship (Part 2) | The Role of Community (S3E7)

    In this second part of their conversation, Pastors Nate and Whitney take discipleship a step further by exploring the role of community — the joy, the connection, and the shared experiences that help us grow into the people God is shaping us to be. They talk about how discipleship isn’t meant to be heavy or overly formal. It’s meant to be life-giving, filled with laughter, shared moments, and the kind of friendships that naturally point us to Jesus. From simple hobbies to meals around the table, college ministry memories, or spontaneous gatherings, they highlight how God often uses fun and togetherness to deepen our discipleship journey. Nate and Whitney also discuss how real transformation happens when we intentionally make space for one another — when we slow down enough to build trust, listen well, and share life side by side. Discipleship grows best where relationships are strong. They challenge listeners to consider:  • Do you have people you’re truly walking with — not just seeing on Sundays?  • And are you creating space for joy, fun, and shared life with the people God has placed around you? They remind us that following Jesus reshapes our priorities and our rhythms. Discipleship isn’t something we squeeze into the cracks of our busy lives — it’s something that changes the way we live, the way we spend our time, and the communities we choose to build. This episode invites you to rediscover the beauty of Christian community — a place where spiritual growth, genuine friendship, and joyful discipleship all come together in the everyday moments we share.

    Discipleship (Part 1) | In Real Life (S3E6)

    In this first part of their conversation, Pastors Nate and Whitney break down what discipleship really looks like — not as a program or a weekly appointment, but as time, relationship, and intentionality. They unpack how Jesus discipled: not in rushed moments, but in hours, days, and everyday life. From bleachers at basketball games to shared workspaces, gym conversations, or simple friendships, they highlight how spiritual growth often happens in the normal rhythms of life when we slow down and intentionally invest in each other. Nate and Whitney talk about the kind of relationships that shape us — people who care deeply about our walk with Jesus and help us become more like Him. They challenge listeners to consider both sides of discipleship: Who is caring for you in Christ?And who are you intentionally helping grow in Him?They remind us that theology isn’t just something we read — it’s lived out through examples, mentorship, and real-life moments. From Paul and Timothy to parents discipling their own kids, the call to make disciples touches every relationship we have. This episode invites you to see discipleship not as something extra to squeeze into your schedule, but something woven into the moments you’re already living — moments where God grows us through the people He places around us.

    The Power of an Invitation (S3E5)

    Pastors Nate and Dillon talk about the power of invitation and how meaningful relationships often begin with a simple “come sit with us.” They reflect on experiences in ministry where a small act of hospitality opened doors to lifelong friendships, encouragement, and spiritual growth. Together, they unpack why invitation matters so deeply in the life of the church. Whether it’s welcoming someone into a service, sharing a meal, grabbing coffee, or inviting a neighbor into your life, these moments create space for genuine connection and discipleship. They remind us that Jesus’ call to “go and make disciples” doesn’t start on a platform — it begins around tables, in living rooms, at cafés, and in everyday interactions. God often uses simple, humble invitations to draw people into community, build relationships, and reflect His love. Filled with honesty, challenge, and encouragement, this episode invites all of us to slow down, notice the people around us, and be intentional about welcoming others into our lives. Because that’s where real ministry happens — in small, authentic moments where life is shared and Christ is seen.

    Prayer | How do I start? (S3E3)

    In this episode of the Harvest Valley Life Podcast, Pastors Randy and Nate dive into the heart of prayer — what it means, why it matters, and how it’s available to everyone. Through honest conversation and Scripture, Pastors Randy and Nate show that prayer isn’t just for pastors or “spiritual experts.” It’s an open invitation from God to every believer. Our prayers connect us to His heart, strengthen our faith, and become part of His redemptive work in the world. Whether you’re new to prayer or longing to go deeper, this episode will encourage you to approach God with confidence (Hebrews 4:16), knowing that when you draw near to Him, He draws near to you (James 4:8).
