  • Résumé

  • Starting Place explores what Christians believe and why it matters when it comes to growing in our faith. As Christians, we should know what our Bible is about (not just the individual books but the one unified story it tells from Genesis to Revelation). We should understand the essential theological beliefs we hold to as Christians. We should know what discipleship looks like. We should know about church history, spiritual formation, and so much more. Each season, I will unpack one of these topics, and in every episode I will interview a new guest to explore a bit of what this topic means and why it matters in our daily lives. Because it's one thing to understand theology, and it's another thing to know how it connects to the most ordinary moments of our lives.

  • Disciples Live Intentionally

    Disciples Live Intentionally
    Nov 27 2024
    Episode Summary:
    In this final episode of the season, we reflect on the transformative habits we’ve explored over the past weeks. Discipleship is never neutral—we are always being shaped by our choices, habits, and surroundings. Join us as we close the season with a thoughtful challenge: to evaluate how we’ve grown this year and intentionally align our lives with the way of Jesus.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. Discipleship requires intentionality—spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident.
    2. Our habits and choices either form us into the image of Jesus or conform us to the world.
    3. A rule of life can help us structure our days, weeks, and months to live faithfully as disciples.
    Challenge:
    As you reflect on 2024, ask yourself the following questions. Also, invite your family and friends into the conversation to discern how to live intentionally for Jesus in the coming year.
    • How have I been shaped by the way I use my time and resources?
    • Where do I see evidence of God’s work in my life?
    • What simple habits can I practice consistently in 2025 to grow as a disciple?\

  • Disciples Make Disciples

    Disciples Make Disciples
    Nov 20 2024
    In this episode of Starting Place, we dive into the spiritual practice of disciplemaking and why it’s central to living as followers of Jesus. Drawing from Matthew 28:19-20, we explore the “discipleship crisis” in today’s Church, discuss key challenges like biblical illiteracy and disembodied discipleship, and offer practical steps for becoming a disciple who makes disciples.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. Discipleship is meant to happen in the context of relationships, not just through consuming content.
    2. Disciplemaking involves content (God’s Word), context (relationships), and consistency (regular, intentional meetings).
    3. The Great Commission calls us to multiplication—helping others grow so they can disciple someone else.
    Challenge:
    Pray and ask God to show you one step you can take toward disciplemaking. Talk about it with a friend or loved one, and consider starting with one person who can grow alongside you in faith.

  • Disciples Serve

    Disciples Serve
    Nov 13 2024
    In today’s episode, we explore why Christians are called to serve and what that looks like in a divided, individualistic culture. We discuss service as an essential discipline that not only glorifies God but seeks the flourishing of humanity. This episode sheds light on how service shapes us, draws us closer to Christ, and reflects God’s love to the world around us


    Key Definition:
    The spiritual practice of service is a way of life that reflects the helping, caring, and sharing love of God in the world. - Adele Calhoun (Spiritual Disciplines Handbook)

    Main Takeaways:
    • God designed us to serve to help creation flourish (Genesis 1:26-27) and to point to his glory. (Matthew 5:13-16).
    • Service is self-sacrificial and grounded in mercy and compassion, as illustrated by Jesus in the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-35).
    • Our motivation for serving comes from how God has served us through Christ. (Romans 12:1)

    Weekly Challenge:
    Think of one person you interact with regularly (friend/family member/coworker) and ask God to show you one way you can serve them this week.
