    Parenting IS Discipleship featuring Jen Sodestrom

    In this episode of the Disciples Made Here podcast, Drew is joined by his bride Jen Sodestrom for a conversation about the most sacred discipleship community we're a part of: our families. Parenting isn't a side category of discipleship. It is discipleship. The 18-year camping trip. The identify, invite, imitate, and innovate happening in real time around the dinner table, in the car, and on the ball field. Jen brings her background as a high school teacher, college professor, children's pastor, and child psychology to a deeply honest conversation about what it actually looks like to raise kids who are rooted in Christ rather than just shaped by rules. From a four-year-old named Carson at the state capitol steps learning what it means to have a debt paid, to a car ride conversation about a teenager smoking on the side of the road that turned into a lesson on compassion and prayer, to the difference between preparing the road for your child versus preparing your child for the road — this episode is full of real stories, hard-won wisdom, and practical phrases for every phase. The goal was never behavior modification. It was always heart transformation. Heaven over Harvard. Abide over achieve. And a family that sees themselves not just as sons and daughters, but as sent ones. ⸻ Reflection Questions Are you inviting your kids into the why behind the what, or defaulting to "because I said so"?What phrases or rhythms could you introduce into your family that help your kids become self-assessors and independent thinkers rooted in Christ?Are you preparing the road for your child, or preparing your child for the road? What would need to change?⸻ Connect With Disciples Made Here Instagram https://www.instagram.com/disciplesmadehere/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/disciplesmadehere Website https://disciplesmadehere.org/

    Imitating the Rabbi

    In this episode of the Disciples Made Here podcast, Drew and Heather move into the third movement of the Disciples Diamond — Imitate. And it might be the most sobering and freeing part of the whole journey. Someone is always watching. Our kids. Our coworkers. Our neighbors. The people we coach. The people we eat with. Whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, they are following us as we follow Jesus. And that means who we are following matters just as much as who is following us. Drew and Heather unpack what imitation actually looks like in real life — through arguments with your spouse, through a 16-year-old who steps in to pray when his parents can't, through a four-generation discipleship chain that started with Todd and ended up in Brayden's youth group. They also introduce one of the most clarifying distinctions in all of discipleship: inheritance is what you leave to someone. Legacy is what you leave in someone. This episode is also an honest conversation about seasons, about the difference between natural imitation and intentional formation, and about why disciple making was never supposed to be impressive. It was always supposed to be dependent. Imitation is natural. Formation has to be intentional. ⸻ Reflection Questions Who are the five people you spend the most time with? Are they pulling you closer to Jesus or further away? What legacy are you leaving in the people around you, not to them, but in them? Who in your life is already watching you that you could intentionally invite to follow as you follow Jesus? ⸻ Connect With Disciples Made Here Instagram   / disciplesmadehere  Facebook   / disciplesmadehere  Website https://disciplesmadehere.org/

    Who Are You Inviting?

    In this episode of the Disciples Made Here podcast, Drew and Heather move from Identify to the second movement of the Disciples Diamond — Invite. And the invitation might not be what you think. The highest goal isn't getting people to church. It's inviting them into life with you. Your table. Your gym. Your rhythms. The spaces you already occupy. Because disciples aren't made in a Sunday service — they're made on the three-year camping trip, around a meal, in the parking lot, on the basketball court, in the gap. Drew and Heather walk through Luke 10 and the person of peace, unpack what green shoots actually look like in real relationships, and share personal stories of what it looks like when someone lives faithfully without forcing it — and what happens when the questions finally come. Heather shares a moment with her dad on Father's Day that captures the whole idea. Drew tells the story of Drew Spencer's baptism and why not being the one to baptize him was actually the point. This episode is also a masterclass in tone, timing, and theology — and why leading with any one of them out of order can do more harm than good. We're not asking anyone to do more. We're just asking us to redeem what's already there. ⸻ Reflection Questions Who in your life has been a person of peace — asking questions, accepting invitations, showing reciprocity? Are you paying attention to them? What does your weekly rhythm actually look like? Where are the spaces you could redeem for relationship without adding anything new? Are you leading with tone, timing, and theology in the right order? Or are you answering questions people aren't asking yet? ⸻ Connect With Disciples Made Here Instagram https://www.instagram.com/disciplesmadehere/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/disciplesmadehere Website https://disciplesmadehere.org/

    Sent to Identify

    In this episode of the Disciples Made Here podcast, Drew and Heather dive into the first movement of the Disciples Diamond - Identify. Building on last week's conversation with Hugh Halter and the woman at the well, this episode gets practical about what it actually looks like to pray and watch for what God is already doing in the ordinary spaces of your life. From the frequency illusion to Easter egg hunts to a 12-year-old who set his own 9:38 alarm without being asked, Drew and Heather unpack why identifying isn't a new skill to learn — it's just learning to see what was already there. They walk through Matthew 9:35-38, introduce the Pray Watch List, and explain what green shoots actually are and why we're praying for them. This isn't about adding something new to your schedule. It's about tuning your brain to the opportunities already in front of you;  your Frank, your neighbor, the tall guy at the baseball field, the redhead at the coffee shop. They're already there. The Easter eggs are everywhere. We just have to look. ⸻ Reflection Questions Who are your Franks? Take a few minutes to write down a friend, relative, acquaintance, neighbor, or kid that God has already placed in your path. Where do you see the same people showing up in multiple spaces of your life? That overlap is worth paying attention to. Have you set your 9:38 alarm yet? If not, stop and do it now. And when it goes off, pray Matthew 9:38 for the people already on your list. ⸻ Connect With Disciples Made Here Instagram   / disciplesmadehere  Facebook   / disciplesmadehere  Website https://disciplesmadehere.org/

    Everyday Mission featuring Hugh Halter

    In this episode of the Disciples Made Here podcast, Drew sits down with Hugh Halter — church planter, author, painter, pizza shop owner, and one of the most incarnationally faithful missionaries Drew knows. From inner city Portland to Denver to Alton, Illinois, Hugh has spent decades simply showing up where God sends him, picking up the manna, and letting the kingdom grow from there. This conversation is a masterclass in what it actually looks like to live as an everyday missionary. Hugh unpacks the difference between missional and incarnational, why business is often not a means to mission but the mission itself, and how hospitality through food and presence has opened more doors to the gospel than any program ever could. If you've ever felt the pressure to build the church, convert people, or grow the kingdom on your own timeline — Hugh has a word for you. Chill out. Jesus said he would build his church. Your job is to walk with your eyes open and ask God to put bread on the trail. This one is for every son and daughter who wants to live sent — not just on Sundays, but wherever they live, work, and play. ⸻ Reflection Questions Where in your normal life are you already present that could become a mission field if you showed up with your eyes open? What would it look like to practice archaeology in your neighborhood, your workplace, or your community — digging around to find what's broken before crafting a response? If you left your neighborhood tomorrow, would anyone notice? What would need to change for the answer to be yes? ⸻ Connect With Disciples Made Here Instagram   / disciplesmadehere  Facebook   / disciplesmadehere  Website https://disciplesmadehere.org/
