    (RePlay) #21 The Joy of Surrender

    Today on the Pod, we challenge the obsession with outward ministry metrics and argue that lasting fruit in missions depends on the inner life with God. We talk through discipleship in community, hard heart issues, and the spiritual disciplines that keep workers joyful, rested, and faithful.  Find out more at PMPod.org  • defining discipleship as the Holy Spirit revealing identity in Christ  • building community early by involving seekers with family and other believers  • shaping a simple house group rhythm of singing, Scripture, prayer, and sharing  • reading the Bible with purpose through Ephesians, Acts, and the whole redemption story  • addressing heart issues like addiction, pornography, fear, marriage, and parenting from the start  • practicing hospitality that models love, service, and a different kind of family life  • reclaiming Sabbath as wise rhythm rather than legalism  • naming screens, scrolling, and news as counterfeit rest for many of us  • describing fasting as embodied hunger for God’s will, often paired with solitude  • redefining solitude as being alone with God in private prayer  • rejecting “just do more” prayer and pointing to Christ praying in us  • making the case for scripture memorization for temptation, teaching, and witness  • reframing self-denial as total surrender to a good Father  It’s okay to be normal.
