  • This Is the One Thing God Wants You to Do Every Day

    This Is the One Thing God Wants You to Do Every Day
    Jul 7 2025
    What if your purpose isn’t just about what you do — but how you love? In today’s episode, we’re diving into Ephesians 5:1–2 to uncover a purpose we often overlook: walking in the love of Christ. This kind of love isn’t limited to people we agree with or those who treat us well — it’s a love that mirrors the sacrifice Jesus made for us. We’ll explore why loving difficult people is actually central to your calling, what Jesus meant when He said “be perfect as your Father is perfect,” and how imitating God’s love changes every conversation, every encounter, and every space you walk into. If you’ve ever wrestled with what God wants you to do, this episode will reframe everything by showing you who He’s calling you to be. Want to go deeper?

  • You Don’t Need a Title to Represent God — Genesis 1 Shatters That Lie

    You Don’t Need a Title to Represent God — Genesis 1 Shatters That Lie
    Jul 2 2025
    What if your title didn’t determine your calling? In this episode, I’m digging into one of the biggest lies we’ve believed in church culture—that only pastors, leaders, or “special” people are called to represent God. But Genesis 1:26–28 tells a different story. I walk through the political context behind this passage and show how, in the ancient world, only kings were seen as the “image” of a god. But in Genesis, God flips the script and says every person is made in His image. That means you have been given divine authority and purpose—not someday, not if you get a title, but right now. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re really called, or felt like purpose is for someone else, this episode will remind you who you are and what you were made for. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • This Verse Changes the Way You See Yourself Forever

    This Verse Changes the Way You See Yourself Forever
    Jun 30 2025
    What if the reason you’re questioning your worth… is because you’ve been listening to the wrong story about why you’re here? In this episode of The Disciples Journal, we kick off a brand new July series focused on what God says about our purpose—and we’re starting right where it all began: Genesis 1:26. You might’ve read this verse before, but today we’re looking at it through the eyes of the people who first heard it—the Israelites fresh out of slavery. And when you understand the cultural and historical context, everything changes. You’ll learn why this one verse redefines how we see our value, our identity, and the intentionality of God’s design for your life. If you’ve ever wondered whether your life really matters or what God had in mind when He made you—this episode is for you.
