Wesley Discipleship Podcast

This week we have special guests Bob Beckwith and Jessica Longino to share their wisdom on sex and marriage. This could be one of the hardest conversations to talk through with people that you disciple, especially college students. How do you answer the question of how far is too far with physical intimacy? What does it mean to pursue purity in a relationship? How do we talk about sex without crea...

Here's a shocker: some of your students might not like everything Bob Beckwith has to say on a Wednesday night. This is normal (if you don't believe us, ask Bob himself about his inbox). When disagreement happens, though, it's an opportunity to dig deeper into truth. How do you value individualization and still encourage others to buy into the vision of our leaders? What do you do when opinions cl...

As part of a Truth and Accountability double feature, Aaron talks about drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll. Okay, not really. What he will be discussing, though, is issues student leaders might have with Wesley's covenant. How do you approach these rules with accountability and compassion? How do we call each other to integrity without shaming? Hear Vickroy break it down.

This week Aaron breaks down the idea of calling: what does God want to do in the longterm picture for the people you mentor, and what is your role in helping them find that?

The DL Podcast welcomes you back in 2017 with this topic: how do you start off mentoring and discipling well coming off of a long winter break? Aaron is joined by Chappell Claxton in discussing how to avoid the pitfalls of a slow start and how to use the first meetings well.

Have you ever heard someone define insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? This week's episode challenges that idea as Aaron talks about finding progress when perseverance seems to get us no where in our personal struggles.

Discipleship intern Cassidy Gaillard talks about influence with Aaron in this week's episode. Influence may be one of those buzzwords you hear often in ministry, but do you ever think of how the things you say and do can affect others? Have you ever thought about how those things could shift the actions of the people around you? If you're in a mentoring relationship with anyone in your life, then...

Aaron is joined by Chappell again this week as they both take on the difficulty of pushing students towards greater spiritual hunger.

Chappell Claxton, an intern at the UGA Wesley Foundation, joins Aaron this week to share some good tips for the month of October. As they join forces, they will talk about how to approach missed meetings, school, and also the secret ingredient to in-depth, real-life talk: you guessed it, the pumpkin spice latte.

In this week's episode, Aaron goes over the concept of ownership in a mentoring relationship. He'll go over what kinds of things you can take ownership of, how much is healthy and how to be responsible in that setting. Also, Aaron gives us some useful anecdotes about gardening as bonus material.

Aaron addresses the notion of discipleship being "the blind leading the blind" and how to approach the unknown with humility.

Aaron goes over the importance of a good first meeting with someone being discipled and how to set up trust and vulnerability for later on.
