Mobilized Church Podcast

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast , we dive into the tension between progress and perfection.

How do we stay passionate about the ultimate goal while celebrating small wins along the way? We share our personal journeys a...

Opposition is inevitable when the Church moves forward in the power of the Spirit. In Acts 4, the early believers faced intense resistance—but instead of retreating, they pushed back with kingdom principles that turned the tide.

Have you ever felt stuck between where you were and where God was calling you—like you stepped out in faith, but the destination wasn’t clear? That space of uncertainty, discomfort, and transformation is what we call liminality —and it’s not just a challenge, it’s a necessary stage in God’s process of forming disciples and mobilizing the Church. In this episode, we explore how liminality is woven...

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast , we explore the transformative journey of following Jesus—not just as a belief system, but as a way of life.

In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast , we explore one of the most vital qualities of a disciple: the ability to recognize and address the areas in their lives that are not like Jesus.

Many are intimidated with the idea and thought of walking someone through the full process of spiritual formation of a new believer…aka disciple-making. But what if we looked it simply as being Kingdom Tour Guides? Today we look at what that means and how that can unlock many who may feel inadequate. 

Mobilization matters because we live among people who need hope, and believers encounter them every day. Mobilization strategies empower individuals to share their own stories of transformation, allowing seekers to explore if this "better way" they hear about is the answer they need. Ultimately, they are invited to "Go All In" (Gr. pisteuo - "faith") with Jesus.

Here’s the point.  It’s Election Day.  Our podcast is “With People Not At People”  So to celebrate “conversations” in a season of hostility, hate, arrogant diatribes, and political commercials we want you to tell us what you want to talk about.  We aren’t going to tell you … You tell us.

In today’s fast-paced social media landscape, it’s easy to fall into the trap of using clever platitudes, gotcha statements, and quippy one-liners. While these can feel satisfying to post, they often fall short of sparking real engagement, and ultimately transformational conversations. 

There is a common misconception that redemption can be separated from the lordship of Christ when in reality true freedom comes from surrendering to Christ’s lordship , not from self-governance. Today we take a look at Paul’s teachings to the Corinthians and how they misunderstood restraint as a limitation on their freedom, when in reality, it was the pathway to spiritual freedom.

Faith Comes by the Word of God and is Perfected by Our Response The Bible teaches that knowledge alone is insufficient for true discipleship. While it is essential to know God's will, it must be acted upon. Faith that merely resides in intellectual knowledge remains incomplete without corresponding action. True faith reshapes who we are, transforming our being and leading to visible, active o...

It can be difficult to establish a culture of missional community. Today, we discuss what the DNA of a new missional community looks like.

The question of transformation in Christian theology is indeed a multi-faceted one, involving the intersection of divine, human, and communal factors. In order to understand the nuances and intersections of these elements—(a) the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit, (b) adherence to the Word of God, and (c) the change of beliefs resulting in new values and behaviors—it’s important to explore each...

The events of life, whether it is the choices of people, life circumstances, or world events ... predominately happen outside our scope of influence. At the end of the day, there isn't much that happens in the world beyond me that I truly have control over. And yet none of us really enjoy feeling that we are being controlled by other things. It does not produce a sense of strength and securit...

What is organic? Is there organic and organized working in rhythm with each other? What is the  difference between organized and institutional? What kind of things can you do to live intentionally missional? Why is it so common to just go through life and be a Christian but not be proactively missional? 

One of my favorite devotions is “The Way” by Stanley Jones. Working in places where his Christian mission was not afforded ‘most privileged religion’ status he pointed to the “Capital T” truths that are invested into the eternal and foundational Creation of God. Beyond philosophy and theology it is the immutable truths to which we are all subject working to point to Him. Truths seemingly working o...

In the call to live missionally, there’s a powerful synergy between the individual believer and the collective Church community. On one hand, the individual’s life-on-life missional living represents the most organic, grassroots reach of the gospel. This is where mission happens naturally in the everyday rhythms of life—where we learn, live, work, and play. On the other hand, the collective effort...
