    Episode 37 - Handling the Prosperity Gospel in Your Group

    In this episode of the Discipleship Leaders Podcast, Jay McGuirk and Amy Skrivanos are joined by Benton Campus Pastor Cody Calhoun to discuss the prosperity gospel—what it is, how it can sound almost true, and how its influence can subtly show up in the lives and beliefs of people in our groups. Together, they explore how leaders can recognize prosperity-gospel thinking, respond with grace and biblical truth, and help point people away from a transactional view of faith and toward the true riches, promises, and hope we have in Christ.

    Episode 32 - Caring for Your Heart as a Leader

    As the group year winds down, it’s easy for leaders to lose momentum and run on empty. In this episode, we’re joined by Care Pastor, Stephen Brannon, to talk about how leaders can care for their own hearts in order to lead well for the long haul. We cover practical rhythms like staying spiritually filled, prayer, time in God’s Word, sharing leadership, and knowing when to rest. Healthy leaders lead healthy groups—so this conversation is all about leading from overflow, not burnout.

    Episode 31 - How to Have Fun as a Group

    Discipleship Leaders Podcast Episode 31: How to Have Fun as a Group Jay & Amy with Guest: Jake Briggs After several weighty conversations on discipleship and longevity in ministry, we’re lightening things up this month by talking about something essential—but often overlooked—in group life: having fun together. Joined by Jake Briggs, Discipleship Pastor at Fellowship’s West Little Rock campus, we explore why joy and laughter matter in small groups and how cultivating genuine enjoyment strengthens relationships and fuels spiritual growth. In This Episode: Meet Jake Briggs and hear about his transition from worship ministry to discipleship. Why joy is vital to discipleship (yes—joy is a fruit of the Spirit!). How fun deepens relationships and helps us live out the “one anothers.” Practical ways to build fun into your regular group time. Creative ideas for activities outside of group (meals, games, serving projects, retreats, and more). What to do if you don’t consider yourself the “fun” one in the group. Whether you’re naturally energetic or more reserved, this episode will help you think intentionally about cultivating joy in your D-Group. Thanks for listening! New episodes drop around the first of each month as we equip you to make disciples who live by God’s grace and for His glory—at home and across the world.
