You weren’t just blessed to be comfortable—you were blessed to be a blessing. In this episode, Daron unpacks the fourth and final foundation: living a life that overflows with purpose, generosity, and impact. Key Takeaways: You were created to be a conduit, not a container—what flows to you is meant to flow through you.

When you mess up, the cruelest voice in your life is often your own. In this episode, Daron Earlewine unpacks the first foundation—to be seen—and how healing begins when we see ourselves the way God sees us. Key Takeaways: You can’t love others well if you silently reject yourself. Being seen is the first building block of love—and it starts with how you see yourself. Selective blindness keeps us from loving others, especially those who are different from us. Digital distraction is killing our ability to connect and be present with people. God is El Roi—the God who sees...

info_outlineIn this episode, Daron Earlewine and Eric Maitlen discuss the importance of discipleship and evangelism in the mission of God. They emphasize the need for intentional relationships and the impact of sharing personal testimonies. They also explore the concept of the three-legged stool of relationships: up with God, in with others, and out with the world. The conversation highlights the transformative power of discipleship and the joy of being a witness to God's work in the world. Join them as they delve into the significance of being a part of God's mission and the fulfillment it brings.
Key Takeaways:
- Discipleship and evangelism are interwoven, often overlapping processes that essentially feed into each other.
- True witnessing stems from personal encounters and transformations brought about by God - it is not a programmed agenda.
- Effective ministry involves both inward nurturing within one's community (discipleship) and outwardly sharing faith (evangelism).
- The 'Great Commission' is a collective call to action, not meant to be pursued in isolation, but within community and under discipleship.
- Bearing witness to the power of the gospel in various contexts, local to global, rejuvenates personal faith and communal outreach.
Quotes:
- "The great commission is not a spectator sport. There is no sideline, folks."
- "The person isn't your project to create a convert. It's the idea of am I willing to live a life worth imitating, where I would then begin to disciple people."
- "The most mature thing, the most wise, humble Christian thing you could possibly do is humble yourself enough to say, 'God, who would you have me be discipled by this season?'"
- "The great commission is being a witness to his story, stepping into his relationship and what he's doing to redeem the relationships of the world."
