About this listen

 The Natives Follow Jesus podcast recognizes that following Jesus as Native American / First Nation disciples is getting more and more challenging. You don’t have to follow Jesus all alone. Join me every week where you can find positive and encouraging content as you seek to follow Jesus as best as you can. Daron Butler is the host of this weekly show where episodes drop every Monday morning at 6am. Daron is a full-blooded Navajo. His Navajo family are followers of Jesus spanning three generations. He has served as a pastor in the local church and serves as Hospice Chaplain in his community presently. He has over 30 years experience in serving many people groups. Episode segments will highlight native cultural insights, devotions from the Bible, prayer for you as you follow Jesus among your own people and amid the cultures of the world, and spotlighting indigenous followers of Jesus who are seeking to be a mission force. There will be bonus episodes where Daron will interview other Natives who are following Jesus. You will gain perspective from their personal journey and you will find inspiration to keep following Jesus. Daron intends to offer you insight, inspiration, and community on your spiritual journey as you follow Jesus. Why this podcast? I find that those who follow Jesus as a Native American or First Nations disciple span a wide spectrum of locations. Some are from the USA and others are from CANADA. You may be someone who is from the reservation (or reserve) or from the city. You might be full-blooded or part-blooded. You may have started following Jesus while immersed in your native culture or you found Jesus yet are curious about your native background. You may be someone who speaks your native language fluently or one who can’t say any words in the tongue of your ancestors. You may have many questions unanswered. Daron invites you to join him on your spiritual quest to follow Jesus. He wants to connect with you, offer a prayer for you, and to suggest ways for you to keep following Jesus as a Native person.

Remember, "Wherever you are, God sees you. You are NOT alone! Keep following Jesus!"Copyright 2025 Daron Butler Personal Development Personal Success Spirituality

  • Episode 32: Trusting God when detours come into your life

    Episode 32: Trusting God when detours come into your life
    May 19 2025

    SHOW NOTES:

    Oftentimes your path in life may get re-routed. You may lose your way. You may take a turn and all seems lost. You take another turn and it appears that there is a dead-end.

    In this episode, you’ll discover how God is not surprised by detours, in fact, God designs them.

    A dead-end is not the end.

    A detour is not the finish line.

    A roadblock is not immovable.

  • Episode 30: Discover your purpose to drive a wonderful life

    Episode 30: Discover your purpose to drive a wonderful life
    May 5 2025

    SHOW NOTES:

    You may have lost your purpose. Life has happened. You started work, met new people, and you have grown as a human being. Life has changed and things have shifted. Do you know your purpose?

    Or, you may have arrived at a place where you don’t know. You might be completely unsure of what drives you. You haven’t given much thought to it recently.

    You realize a disconnect between what you want in life and what you’re currently experiencing. You may not know what your purpose will be. But you feel and think that there has to be more than this.

    I believe that living on purpose as a follower of Jesus can drive you to make better decisions, to take action that benefits others, and gives you energy to make wonderful things happen for yourself, your family, and your community.

    So, I invite you to join me on this next phase of your spiritual journey. Lean in as you discover your purpose in Christ.
