Mobilized Church Podcast Ken & Kris Dillingham

We've talked about a lot of concepts and principles, had conversations with pastors and leaders, and shared statistics and trends about multiplication. But at the end of the day, stories tell the story. Today we talk about our experiences on this journey and what apostolic multiplication truly looks like. 

Pastor Jason West and his wife Leah are building a tremendous work in the inner city of San Jose, CA, called The Hope Center. Join us for our conversation with Jason about his passion for making disciples and reaching our metro areas.

People often are prepared for change because they are tired/frustrated/irritated with something. How can we recognize this and have a spiritual conversation where our transformation story inspires them to consider that there is an alternative (the better way of Jesus’ kingdom)?

While there is significant movement of the Holy Spirit, there is no denying that the majority of people still fall into one of two categories regarding that..either apathy or antipathy. The question then becomes how do missional people truly work with how the Holy Spirit is working?

The 5 Love Languages Books have been very popular for years. The book by Gary Chapman attempts to relate how we experience and express love within a framework of 5 “languages” to which human personalities are wired. Today, on Valentine’s Day we are discussing how the 5 Love Languages can not only help us understand love within our marital and family relationships but also how the love languages affect our ability to show others the love of God. 

How do we have spiritual conversations with people who have found that the end of their quest for fulfillment has ended in bitterness? The pursuit of what satisfies the soul may at first feel sweet and deeply gratifying. It is very difficult to persuade someone who is in this stage. They have imagined that “that thing, that experience, that romance, that person, etc” will be everything they have been wanting. But as we know, it never satisfies for long and in the end leaves us empty and often hurting. What begins as a sweet pursuit ends in bitter disappointment. So the question … how do we engage someone who finds themselves at that place where they are coming to the realization that what they thought was the answer is not going to be?
