    #157 – Brian Trainor: Survive and Thrive as a Follower of Jesus

    At the end of his life, the Apostle Paul wrote to his son in the faith, Timothy. In that letter, he gave Timothy the following charge:



    “My son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”



    How does God use generational discipleship to help us not only survive but thrive as followers of Jesus?



    • Make sure you fight the right battles

    • Paul's charge to Timothy: 2 Timothy 2.1-2

    • 4 Generations disciple-making

    • What are the things to be entrusted?

    #156 – Andrew Stroud: How To Spot a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

    Writers like Jude, Paul, and Peter warned the early church against false prophets -- wolves who would come into the church dressed like sheep and introduce new teachings contrary to what the apostles had received from Jesus.



    The apostle Paul says the goal of these false teachers is to draw away people after themselves. As it was then, so it is now.



    Today’s episode reveals how cults operate and shows how you can quickly spot them so that you’re not led astray.



    • What Makes a Cult a Cult?

    • 5 Marks: How To Spot a Cult

    • What Do True Christians Believe?



    Original Release Date: 5/4/2023

    #155 – Jennelle Sherman: Becoming a Christ Centered Couple

    #155 – Jennelle Sherman: Becoming a Christ Centered Couple

    Marriage has been part of God’s plan for humanity from the beginning. It was God who made us male and female and God who said “a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”



    While two becoming one sounds romantic, in reality it’s often a painful process that God uses to reshape our perspective, our character, and our values. Meanwhile, sin and the fall have greatly damaged us and our understanding and practice of marriage. Is there any hope?



    Jennelle Sherman is founder of Christ Centered Couple. She and her husband Nathan are committed to helping others find the freedom, intimacy, and joy they have discovered since putting Christ at the center of their marriage. Before starting CCC, Jennelle served on staff for 8 years with The Well Training and Discipleship Ministry in Tampa, FL where she discipled women, lead bible studies, spoke at conferences and actively mentored others.



    In this episode, Jennelle shares on:



    • Gaining a Full Picture of the Gospel

    • Principles and Practices for Singles

    • Why Your Spouse Cannot Save You

    • What To Do if Your Spouse Isn’t on Board



    Resources Mentioned

    • Christ Centered Couple

    • Renovated Women's Conference

    • The Well Training and Discipleship Ministry

Thank you for creating this podcast to help us grow closer to God and point others to Him. It truly is fantastic work you are doing for the kingdom!

Abigail Elizabeth Monson ,

So encouraging!

I’m so encouraged by and thankful for this podcast! They do such a good job at addressing ideas through the lens of the bible and it is so relevant to being a disciple of Jesus today and showing others how to do the same. I listen to it during my commute to work and it always encourages me and makes me so excited in all the ways that God is working in my life and the lives of those around me. He is surely producing fruit from this ministry!
