    Sick with Cancer… But Full of Hope | An Honest Conversation About Faith, Suffering, and Eternity

    This is a very special episode.  My good friend Edouard is a faithful disciple, a fruitful leader, and a man who has helped many people in France and other countries come to Jesus and grow as disciples. But right now, he is facing a very serious battle with cancer. The doctors have said they have no more treatment to offer. And yet, this is not a story without hope. I In this powerful and emotional conversation, we talk openly about:  • cancer  • healing  • suffering  • faith  • disappointment  • the kingdom of God  • the resurrection  • and the hope we have in Christ  This is not a shallow conversation. It is honest, real, deep, and full of eternal perspective. We still believe in healing. We still pray for miracles. But at the same time, we understand that our ultimate hope is not in this life alone, but in the kingdom to come.  Edouard and Torben have a real conversation about what they have learned through suffering, and how their faith has actually grown deeper in the middle of it all. Edouard also shares what God has done in France in recent years and how grateful he is to have lived a life of discipleship and fruitfulness.  I believe this podcast will touch many of you deeply.  Please watch, pray for Edouard, and share this with others who need hope, perspective, and encouragement.  Follow Torben's Story here: TorbenSondergaard.com Live the Life of a Disciple of Jesus: TheLastReformation.com

  3. Knowing God — Not Just Knowing About Him | Disciple Makers Podcast Ep. 4

    Knowing God — Not Just Knowing About Him | Disciple Makers Podcast Ep. 4

    Most Christians believe in God. But how many truly know Him?  In this episode, we talk about the difference between:  • Knowing about God  • And actually knowing God  There is a huge difference between theology and intimacy. Between information and relationship. Between correct doctrine and walking with the Holy Spirit.  📖 John 17:3 — “This is eternal life: that they know You…” Jesus didn’t say, “I never heard about you.” He said, “I never knew you.”  That is relational language. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Olivier (France/Canada), currently visiting our school in Mexico.  Together we talk about:  🔥 What biblical “knowing” really means  🔥 How to move from head knowledge to heart reality  🔥 Practical ways to cultivate intimacy with God  🔥 A word to pastors and leaders  🔥 Why Acts Christianity was relational  If you want more than religion… If you want real life with God… This episode is for you.  Follow Torben's Story here: TorbenSondergaard.com Live the Life of a Disciple of Jesus: TheLastReformation.com

  4. SIN IN THE CHURCH: What No One Talks About | Disciple Makers Podcast Ep. 3

    FEB 11

    SIN IN THE CHURCH: What No One Talks About | Disciple Makers Podcast Ep. 3

    There is a lot happening in the church right now. Sin is being exposed. Well-known ministers are being revealed to have lived double lives.  Videos are coming out that are shaking many people. Today we talk about that — but we also go deeper. Not just what is happening, but why. What is the real issue beneath the surface? And what is it that very few are talking about?  In this episode of the Disciple Makers Podcast, I’m joined by my close friend Jon. We speak honestly about sin in the church, our responsibility as believers, and what Scripture actually says about judging inside the church — not the world.  This is not a polished studio conversation. I’m on the road. This is real life. Real ministry. Real discipleship.  Follow Torben's Story here: TorbenSondergaard.com Live the Life of a Disciple of Jesus: TheLastReformation.com

  5. Free Indeed: Why the Half Gospel Can’t Set People Free from Sin | Disciple Makers Podcast Ep. 2

    FEB 4

    Free Indeed: Why the Half Gospel Can’t Set People Free from Sin | Disciple Makers Podcast Ep. 2

    What does it really mean to be “free indeed”? Jesus said: “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36) Yet many believers truly love Jesus—yet they are still bound. They want to live free, but they keep struggling with the same sin again and again. In Episode 2 of the Disciple Makers Podcast, we talk about a truth many avoid: 👉 A half gospel cannot produce real freedom. In this episode:  • We unpack John 8:31–36 and what Jesus meant by true freedom  • We address the lie that “we will always be sinners”  • We reject both extremes: endless bondage and sinless perfection  • We share Joah’s powerful testimony—from hidden struggle to real freedom  • We speak directly to pastors and leaders about our responsibility  • We show how repentance, baptism, discipleship, and obedience belong together This is not about condemnation. This is about freedom. And to be clear: we do not preach sinless perfection. We preach freedom from being slaves to sin. Movements begin with the right seed. If the seed is wrong, the fruit will be wrong. Follow Torben's Story here: TorbenSondergaard.com Live the Life of a Disciple of Jesus: TheLastReformation.com

    How to Bear Much Fruit: The 2 Kinds of Fruit (John 15) | Disciple Makers Podcast Ep. 1

    Many believers have knowledge—but very little fruit. Jesus said the Father is glorified when we bear much fruit (John 15).  In this first episode of the Disciple Makers Podcast, we talk about the two kinds of fruit the Bible points to:  ✅ Fruit of the Spirit (character & holiness)  ✅ Fruit of making disciples (obedience, multiplication, and seeing lives transformed)  This is not a fancy studio—we’re on the road—but the message is real and practical. In this episode, Torben Søndergaard sits down with Olivier Buadès to share testimony, breakthrough, and simple steps you can start doing this week to become a fruitful disciple who glorifies the Father.  We also take time to speak directly to pastors and leaders about moving from church activity to a real disciple-making culture—training believers to do the Word, not only hear it.  In this episode:  • Why Jesus doesn’t just want “fruit”—He wants much fruit  • The two kinds of fruit many Christians confuse (or miss)  • Why comparison kills fruitfulness (and what to do instead)  • Olivier’s testimony: from addiction to repentance, freedom, and disciple-making  • Practical steps to begin seeing fruit in everyday life  • A message to pastors/leaders: a culture shift from teaching-only to training & obedience  Key Scriptures: John 15  • Galatians 5  • Mark 4  • John 20  • Matthew 28 ⸻  🔔 Subscribe & share If this blesses you, subscribe, share it with someone, and help us get this out.  Follow Torben's Story here: TorbenSondergaard.com Live the Life of a Disciple of Jesus: TheLastReformation.com

    The Church Plus Vision – Transforming the church into disciple-making communities (7 of 8)

    Many churches today focus on meetings but often miss the life of discipleship that Jesus called us to. The Church Plus Vision is not about stopping Sunday gatherings but about adding the missing elements that bring transformation.  By making room for testimonies, obedience to the Word, and practical disciple-making, the DNA of the church can change. In this lesson, you will discover how to practically add these elements and see your church (or fellowship) become a living, multiplying body that raises up disciples.  Follow Torben's Story here: TorbenSondergaard.com Live the Life of a Disciple of Jesus: TheLastReformation.com

    The Five-Fold Ministries – Equipping the body (6 of 8)

    Christ Himself gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers—not as titles, but as gifts to equip His body. These gifts are not for a few “special” leaders but for the growth and unity of the whole church.  In this lesson, you will discover the true purpose of the five-fold ministry, how it works in practice, and why every gift is needed for the church to become mature and fruitful.
