At the beginning of this season, we asked a question, what goes into the making of a disciple? How does a follower of Jesus become so well-formed, so well-prepared that when the time of testing comes, whether it's a crisis of courage or a call to qui... more

    I have listened and relistened to season 2 ep 7 (burnout) and season 3 ep 3 (spiritual disciplines) more times than I can count. This podcast is truly a blessing and is well worth your time. I especially commend those two episodes to anyone.

  • Season 1 Episode 10

    This is holding my attention. Keep it going. Thanks for the info and production of it. I really enjoyed Season 1 episode 10. I went to the Kilns in 2007. Did the CSL Tour with a gentleman who knew CSL and Douglas. He said he remembered the cigars and CSL and Warnie telling him and Douglas (he was friends with Douglas around 12 years old) to “fetch me some beer” at the local store. It was also interesting to hear the story about the lady that lived there with them. CSL had extra outside stairs fr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What's Coming Around the Cultural Corner?
Q: Why is it important to hand kids a different set of questions, these biblical set of questions and answers before the culture hands them their version?
Wax says discipleship happens throughout family life, not only at church. A children's catechism gives families useful concepts and prompts for natural conversations about faith and cultural messages.
What's Coming Around the Cultural Corner?
Q: What would you say is coming next culturally? And why should thoughtful Christians be paying attention?
Wax points to online polarization and the continuing influence of expressive individualism, alongside reactions that draw people toward group identity. He says these trends affect relationships and the church, while creating opportunities for Christian community and formation.
Reading the Bible When Nobody Reads
Q: How do we help the next generation engage with the Bible?
We must adapt our approaches to Bible engagement, focusing on both public readings and personal study to reclaim attention spans.
Reading the Bible When Nobody Reads
Q: How do we continue to get scripture into the minds and hearts of people?
We must look for both ancient practices like memorization and contemporary methods like digital tools to engage with scripture creatively.
An Active Christian Life… Where God is Unnecessary
Q: How do we become people of prayer?
It involves integrating prayer with Bible reading, engaging in constant conversation with God, and understanding that prayer is about relationship rather than mechanical performance.
