  • WONDERFUL!

    I re-discovered the Saturate Podcast a few months ago. I "happened" to start listening at the first episode of the BLESS series. I was immediately inspired and hungry to learn more and hear the rest of the series. I've since started listening to older episodes.

    I really, really like the Saturate/Soma model of doing things. I appreciate the honesty and openness and unwillingness to just do church as usual. Saturate in general is a revolutionary beacon of hope for me, and the podcast inspires me ... more

  • So helpful!

    Because the missional community group model is so counter-cultural, it can often be very confusing and ambiguous to grasp. This podcast greatly helps in fleshing out how to live Christianity in the everyday stuff of life as a community.

    I am so encouraged by the Saturate podcast and by the topics they cover. I have found myself convicted, enlivened, and re-energized for Jesus and my MC by their discussions. If you are leading an MC or about to, please do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Indestructible Hope
Q: What would you say to leaders who feel discouraged about sharing their faith?
Emphasizes hope in Jesus, the need to start small (even with prayer), and building a rhythm of courage through daily, simple actions that multiply over time.
Indestructible Hope
Q: What are some practical ways your church is living out evangelism in the city?
The discussion covers drive-through prayer, door-to-door outreach through Saturate, school-based ministries, watch parties for the World Cup, and training/resources to equip believers.
Indestructible Hope
Q: So Jesse, share a little about yourself, your family, and what you're doing right now.
Jesse describes his family, his role at Grace Community Church, his work with Just Choose Hope, and his passion for evangelism and local church collaboration in Seattle.
The Deep Architecture of the Human Soul
Q: How can leaders sustain change after a sabbatical or a season of rest?
By integrating a community that holds them and by continuing to downshift into safe spaces, so the body isn't forced back into go mode; ongoing supervision, spiritual direction, and shared accountability help sustain transformation beyond the sabbatical.
The Deep Architecture of the Human Soul
Q: What are some of the key practices or discoveries that help people move off the hamster wheel?
Shifting into a state of safety and connection, slowing down to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, and cultivating practices from that safe space rather than trying to fix everything at once; these steps pave the way for deeper character change rather than mere habit formation.
