The Necessity of Innovation in Fulfilling the Mission of Jesus | Episode 159 05/08/2024

The Necessity of Innovation in Fulfilling the Mission of Jesus | Episode 159 In this episode of the Daron Earlewine podcast, Daron explores the necessity and essential nature of fulfilling the mission of Jesus. He discusses the lack of imagination and innovation in the church and the marketplace when it comes to developing and discipling others. Daron challenges listeners to consider how necessary they believe this mission to be in their own lives and encourages them to tap into their imagination and creativity to find innovative ways to share the good news of Jesus. Join Daron as he inspires listeners to become imaginative and innovative missionaries in their own spheres of influence. Key Takeaways: Necessity is the mother of innovation, and our perception of what is essential directly influences our motivation and creativity. There is a significant gap in innovatively engaging adults in faith-based conversations and discipleship beyond youth programs. Reaching people in the marketplace is still viable; it requires leaders to view holistic development as essential and to act on it creatively. Earlewine introduces the concept of 'rogue leaders', individuals passionate about developing others to embrace their purpose within the marketplace. Leaders are encouraged to seek God's guidance in leveraging their imagination to become effective witnesses and developers in their communities. Quotes: "Jesus has been at the bar waiting for some Christians to show up and tell people the good news for a long time." "We have a mission to fulfill…to actually go and make disciples of all nations." "Imagination is more important than knowledge." "Necessity is the mother of innovation." "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." "Creativity is the natural result of spirituality."

Redefining The Call To Ministry In The Marketplace With PJ Towle - Part 2 05/01/2024

Redefining The Call To Ministry In The Marketplace With PJ Towle - Part 2 In this episode, Daron and PJ discuss the importance of discipleship and the need for a paradigm shift in how we view the mission of making disciples. PJ shares his vision for creating an Acts 2 community in business, specifically for creatives, where collaboration and support are prioritized. They emphasize the need for a deficit of imagination and the importance of listening to God's voice and obeying His calling. The episode concludes with a reminder that God is patient and desires for all to hear and know Him. Key Takeaways: The necessity for believers to evaluate their personal involvement in disciple-making and the Great Commission. PJ's new initiative, an Acts 2 based creative community, seeks to blend business with a collaborative and supportive faith-led approach. The idea that the church is not confined to a building but is represented within communities of believers engaged in various spheres of influence. Discipleship can be modeled in the marketplace as much as in traditional church settings. The challenge for believers to creatively leverage their skills and passions in alignment with Jesus's mission for transformative societal impact. Quotes: "If you're a follower of Jesus and currently looking around your life, you don't have tangible evidence that you're actually making any disciples. You're not involved in the great commission." "I've not seen people's lives come, like, really transformed and changed based off of some inspiration, right?" "I want to figure out how to do business without it being a competition." "I want this to be a group of people that are coming together, that are helping each other grow." "We can also just live in the community, running after the Holy Spirit at the same time." "We need to ask God to continue to bring more people on this mission for the harvest." "The Lord is not being slow, but he's being patient so that all can hear and all can know."

Understanding The Call To Ministry In The Marketplace with PJ Towle - Part 1 04/24/2024

Understanding The Call To Ministry In The Marketplace with PJ Towle - Part 1 In this episode, Daron Earlewine and PJ Towle discuss their personal journeys of answering God's call and stepping into ministry in the marketplace. They share their experiences of wrestling with the idea of leaving full-time vocational ministry and the fear of stepping away from God's call. They emphasize the importance of following the Holy Spirit's leading and being open to new adventures. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to be captivated by the caller (God) rather than feeling captive to a specific call. Key Takeaways: Understanding one's calling involves an ongoing relationship with the Holy Spirit, internal nudges, external affirmations, and unexpected opportunities. Transitioning from ministry to marketplace can evoke an identity crisis and doubts but can ultimately lead to a deeper alignment with God's purpose. Stepping into new opportunities or staying the course are both valid responses to God's leading; the key is to be receptive to the caller, not just captive to the initial call. Both ministry and secular work can be profound fields ripe for harvest and impact for those willing to pursue them with a relationship-first mindset. Long-standing friendships provide unique insights and support as both Daron and PJ encourage one another in their mutual journeys. Quotes: "Am I walking away from God's call on my life?... In no way was I walking away from it, but I was actually stepping deeper into it." "I'm going to spend a lot of my life doing my best to help develop and awaken people in the marketplace." "We've been in and out of each other's orbits for a long time... I think there's just a lot of potential for spiritual awakening in work." "No, everyone is called into the mission of Christ now.” "I think the harvest is ripe... I think there's a lot there." "The Holy Spirit will never ask us to do something that is not in line with God's character."

The Great Omission: Why 80% of Christians Never Share Their Faith | Episode 155 04/03/2024

The Great Omission: Why 80% of Christians Never Share Their Faith | Episode 155 DEP Podcast In this episode, Daron and Eric discuss the concept of the "great omission" in the church and how Christians can reconnect with the true purpose of the Great Commission. They explore the idea of making the gospel good news again by focusing on the story of God and His faithfulness, rather than making it all about ourselves. They also share practical steps for building influential relationships with non-believers and serving the community. Don't miss this insightful conversation on living out the Great Commission in a meaningful way. Key Takeaways: The 'Great Omission' is prevalent when Christians fail to share faith, rejecting the mandate of the Great Commission. Authentic evangelism necessitates immersion into others' lives and honoring their stories, recognizing God is already at work there. Revisiting the Gospel starts with understanding one's value as part of God's purpose rather than at the center of it. Building influential relationships with non-believers starts with serving and taking genuine interest in their lives without ulterior motives. Taking practical steps to re-engage with the Great Commission may require serving in new capacities or stepping out into leadership roles. Quotes: "If we actually go back to the first page of the Bible, there's some really good news, right? God made you in his image, and he made you on purpose and for a purpose." "Jesus is who he is and he is what he's been to me, but that's never been compelling enough for me to go, hey, you know what Jesus has done for me?" "It's very fear-based. We have more belief in the devil's ability to deceive us and corrupt our children than we do in Holy Spirit's ability to reconcile us to each other and to God." "It's all about going, going to them."

How Saying Yes to God's Adventure Can Transform Your Life | Episode 154 Daron and Eric share their personal journeys of following Jesus and the impact it had on their lives. They discuss the power of saying yes to God's call and encourage listeners to be open to His leading. Eric also talks about his work addressing the opioid crisis in Indiana and documenting a disciple-making movement in India.

Through their stories, they inspire listeners to find their own unique path and bring hope, faith, and love to the world.

There's an ongoing need to address complex social issues like the opioid epidemic through community engagement and storytelling.

Quotes: "You have a calling on your life, created on purpose and for purpose." "The adventure is stepping into each moment as God is leading us and having the courage and the humility to just say yes." "Anything worth doing for now is worth doing poorly the first time." "The only way you're going to get anything is to give up what's in your hands. The only way you're going to be established is for you to just surrender."

The Power of Discipleship: How Relationships Change Lives | Episode 153 03/20/2024

The Power of Discipleship: How Relationships Change Lives | Episode 153 In 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."

Quotes: “As an ambassador of Jesus. And what's the essence of my calling? To do exactly what Jesus did to me, for me, for us to see us, to know us, to affirm us, to love us, like to bless us with his presence." "We've created a false reality, a virtual reality of non-relationships to be seen, known, and affirmed." "We all want someone to make us feel good about something."

The Fear of Being Known: Overcoming Vulnerability in Relationships | Episode 151 03/06/2024

The Fear of Being Known: Overcoming Vulnerability in Relationships | Episode 151 In this episode of the Daron Earlewine podcast, Daron, Julie, and PJ discuss the importance of seeing and knowing others in relationships. They explore the concept of being fully known and truly loved, and how it can liberate us from pretense and self-righteousness. Drawing from the story of Jesus and the woman at the well, they emphasize the need to slow down and truly see people, allowing them to feel known and affirmed. The episode concludes with a discussion on the role of grace in fostering deeper connections with others. Key Takeaways: Being 'seen' in the context of relationships goes beyond surface acknowledgment and touches on the core desire to be recognized authentically. The fear of being 'known' for who we truly are can be daunting, but it's fundamental to forming meaningful human connections. The scriptural framework provided by Daron offers a spiritual lens through which one can view and approach the need to be seen and known. The notion that deeply knowing someone else begins with a posture of grace, echoing the grace received from God. Quotes: "The purpose of humanity. Is relationships." "God sees us, he knows us, he affirms us, and he blesses us." "Come and see a man who knew all about the things I did and knows me inside and out." "Being seen is something that's just hard, period." "I think that no matter the wound or the pain, I think there's somewhere deep inside of a woman that they want to be known." "To be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It's what we need more than anything." "We have received his grace, so how do we extend it?"

The Sweet and Sour of Relationships: Building Healthy Connections | Episode 150 02/28/2024

The Sweet and Sour of Relationships: Building Healthy Connections | Episode 150 In this episode of the Daron Earlewine podcast, Daron is joined by PJ and Julie to discuss the sweet and sour aspects of relationships. They explore the illusions and misunderstandings that can sour relationships, such as misconceptions about God, oneself, others, and work. The conversation delves into the barriers to building relationships, including fear, defensiveness, ignorance, pride, and pain. Stay tuned for the next episode, where they will dive into the SKAG principle and the concept of hurt people healing people. Key Takeaways: Relationships are a blend of sweetness and sourness, shaped by our perceptions and experiences with God, self, others, and work. Fear often serves as the bedrock for other barriers to love in relationships, including defensiveness and ignorance. Defensiveness can lead to isolation rather than protection, and recognizing this can help in overcoming relationship hurdles. The pain of past experiences significantly affects how people engage in present relationships, showing the need for healing over time. Practices such as counseling, reflection, and understanding God's love play critical roles in improving relationship dynamics. Quotes: "I think you have to have both sweet and sour moments to really be able to develop through and get to that real, authentic lifestyle." "I think I am somewhere around an enneagram six or an enneagram one. Still trying to figure it all out. But the core part of me is so immensely loyal to me that to others. I'm so loyal that I'm very easily let down by if someone does not appear loyal." "These illusions, these misunderstandings set us up to five core barriers to love. And every one of these barriers are rooted in lies about ourself and about God." "For me, it's pain. It's those wounds that you think heal up, but then you scratch it and you pick out the scab a little bit or you get the scars and you remember it, right?"

Trusting God's Plan Even When It Doesn't Make Sense | Episode 149 02/21/2024

Trusting God's Plan Even When It Doesn't Make Sense | Episode 149 Daron and Coop discuss the importance of seeking God's presence in prayer. They emphasize that prayer is not about performance or earning God's favor, but rather about developing a relationship with Him. They share personal experiences and insights, highlighting the power of silence and stillness in prayer. They also explore the concept of grace and how God knows our needs even before we ask. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to find peace and safety in God's presence, whether through words or silence. Key Takeaways: Silent prayer can strengthen spirituality, highlighting that God values our presence over eloquent prayers. Life's setbacks, like the ones faced by Joseph, can be transformative, leading us to fulfill our higher calling. The relationship with God should be grounded in security and peace, rather than performance and achievement.

The "unforced rhythms of grace" can lead to personal growth and transformation as we engage deeply with God's mercy. Vulnerability and honesty about our weaknesses are crucial for authentic spiritual development. Quotes: "The safest place I could ever be in my worst moment is in his presence, created on purpose and for purpose." "The risk is mostly all the time worth it in some way, shape or form." "The manifestation of a ton of judgment is actually the manifestation of a ton of shame." "The presence of a ton of judgment is actually the manifestation of a ton of shame."

They emphasize the importance of being honest with God and allowing Him to pursue us, reminding listeners that God is near and always ready to meet us where we are. Tune in for an insightful conversation on developing a strong relationship with God.

Experiencing Love and Purpose Through Relationships Ep 145 01/24/2024

Experiencing Love and Purpose Through Relationships Ep 145 Discover the true purpose of life as Daron explores the importance of relationships in this episode. Drawing from the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, he emphasizes that life is not about things and places, but about meaningful connections with God and others. By examining the example of Jesus' relationship with the Father, listeners are encouraged to prioritize relationships over competition and material possessions. Join Daron as he delves into the essence of true fulfillment and the power of loving, humble, and servant-hearted relationships. Key Takeaways: Life is fundamentally about relationships, with our connection to God being the primary relationship, followed by relationships with ourselves and others. Achievements and material possessions cannot fulfill our inherent need for human connection, as illustrated by the biblical story of Adam and the Garden of Eden. The importance of relationships is further emphasized by contrasting the unity at the Tower of Babel with the introduction of Abraham's covenant with God, signaling a shift back to divine relationship. Cultural obsessions, such as that with pets, can be indicative of our struggle with human connections and an avoidance of embracing our relational design. Jesus' model of servanthood and humble obedience offers a blueprint for how we should engage in relationships with one another. Quotes: "Your life is so much bigger than failure, right? Your life is not defined by those things." "I almost gave up on a lot of things in my life. Thank God. And I don't mean that as just a trite thing. I'm saying. I mean it. Thank God. At least one of my gifts is perseverance." "You were not created for things and for places. You were created on purpose by a relationship, for the purpose of relationships." "Life wasn't designed to be a competition. When we start to feel like we're competing with our people, with our places, with our things, I think we know, hey, I think I've forgotten about what life is." "You can trust the heart of God. He's created you on purpose and for the purpose of relationships."

Experiencing the Love of God | Advent Week Four | Daron Earlewine Podcast Ep. 143 12/27/2023

Experiencing the Love of God | Advent Week Four | Daron Earlewine Podcast Ep. 143 In this episode, Daron Earlewine discusses the concept of love and how it relates to Christmas. He emphasizes that love is a choice and that experiencing God's love is essential in order to love others. Daron encourages listeners to believe that God loves them and to rely on that love in their relationships. He also highlights the importance of giving and receiving gifts out of love rather than obligation. Key Takeaways: Love is a choice and experiencing God's love is crucial in order to love others. Christmas is a gift from God that demonstrates His love for humanity. Trusting and relying on God's love enables us to love others in a transformative way. Quotes: "Christmas is a gift that was given to us because God loves us so much." "Love is a choice. You choose to love someone, and I think one of the greatest struggles that I know I've had in my relationship with Jesus, and maybe you can relate to this, I've struggled in my life, and I'm on the other side of this now, but I still find myself sometimes battling it is to really believe that God really does love me." "God is for you. He loves you, he likes you, he's near you, not because he has to be, but because he loves. In fact, he created you for the joy of the relationship. And above and beyond all of that, he took the time, the creativity and the genius to create you on purpose and for a purpose. That's everything." "Christmas is a choice, most famous scripture in all of the Bible. For God so loved the world that he gave." "The reason this is, is because we've said this a ton of times. Once again, stealing the quote from Gary Smalley. Life is relationships. Everything else is just the details. Your life is relationships. And so what Christ has shown us is like, listen, if you want to live life, and you want to live it to the full, the example is to be and do and have the attitude of Christ Jesus, who chose to love, to humble himself, and to give his life as a gift."

Our vision for the future should not be solely focused on ourselves but should be aligned with God's heart and His purposes. Quotes: "Vision is connected to purpose, and vision with your eyeballs is connected to light." "You were created on purpose and for His purposes." "What could be different? The walls of the city could be rebuilt, and there could be pride and strength and protection for God's people."
