    #221 – Want to Change Your Life? Gratitude is the Answer

    There is a reason that in Philippians 4:6, Paul tells us to present our requests to God, with thanksgiving. It is not because God is an ego-maniac who needs to be acknowledged for everything He does (although He really should be acknowledged for everything He does, because without Him, we wouldn't be breathing). God knows that gratitude changes everything. It changes us, and it changes the world around us. He does everything for our best interest, and telling us to practice gratitude is no different. We love having Shelton Markham on, and this episode can be filed under the "gems from Shelton" folder. At the end of the episode, he and Andrew give us some practical tools for being thankful, and you don't want to miss those. Need a framework for making disciples?

    #220 – What Happens When Jesus Returns For His People?

    We can have hope always, especially through loss and death, because Jesus is coming back for His people - both dead in the body, and still walking the earth. This is the end of our study of 1 Thessalonians, and Paul waits to the end to really bring home that Jesus IS returning, and that should give us hope, and also give us motivation and direction about living while we are on earth.

    #219 – Two Powerful Ways to Live a Life that Pleases God

    1 Thessalonians 4.1-12 may be brief, but it is packed with useful information for anyone who wants to be a disciple maker. Paul explains the importance of not letting our own desires control our lives, and how, if we can control our bodies, we will be able to love others deeply. Andrew and John loved unpacking this passage, and we know you'll love it too! Need a framework for making disciples?

    #218 – Changing Culture the Way Jesus Did

    Justin Gravitt is back on the show, and we are thrilled to talk to him about how to change culture (specifically church culture) the way Jesus did.

Check out Justin's book The Foundation of a Disciple Making Culture for some great insight on this!

    #216 – How We Live Matters

    We're back this week with 1 Thessalonians 2! In chapter 2, Paul talks about not just what he said to the Thessalonians, but how he lived among them. There is a cost to making disciples, and Paul was very familiar with that cost. Does the way we make disciples today reflect the way Paul did? More importantly, does the way we make disciples today reflect Jesus? The Pathway Series is available now! Get it here: https://www.intotheharvest.org/pathway-series/ In This Episode: What would be missing without 1 Thessalonians?
