This episode explores how to use technology for virtual discipling, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Host Bobby Harrington discusses Discipleship.org's mission to promote Jesus-style disciple-making and foster movements in various settings.
Bobby is joined by Jay Cranda and Christian Ray Flores. Jay, Saddleback Church's online campus pastor since 2012, manages thousands of attendees and online groups. He shares Saddleback's pre-pandemic digital strategy and future plans. Christian, a former Russian rock star and now co-founder of The Tribe and Third Drive, offers insights on maintaining virtual connections and leading effectively online.
Christian explains how churches can transition to online services, stressing the need for updated websites and virtual features. He advises setting up “coronavirus ready websites” for smooth virtual interactions.
Jay provides practical tips for streaming and managing small groups. He suggests simple setups for small churches, like using a mobile phone and good lighting, and highlights tools like Facebook Live and Zoom. Jay also recommends pre-recording messages for better quality control.
The discussion moves to using social media to engage church audiences. Christian points out Facebook's interactive features and the importance of promoting events and encouraging watch parties.
Jay talks about encouraging small group participation and suggests using Zoom for its ease of use. For less tech-savvy groups, he proposes merging phone calls and views technology as a tool for, not a hindrance to, discipleship.
Jay also recommends creating tutorials and using online resources to train and empower volunteer leaders, reducing the tech support burden on staff.
Bobby shares his experiences with Zoom for long-term discipleship, emphasizing the importance of commitment, continuous communication, and genuine care for group members. He believes online platforms can support meaningful relationships, despite face-to-face interactions being ideal.
Finally, Bobby and Jay offer resources and tools for churches to enhance their online disciple-making efforts. This episode serves as a practical guide for faith communities to adapt to virtual ministry and expand their reach during the pandemic, highlighting technology as a key enabler for ongoing disciple-making.

    Faith and works = catholic. Faith alone = protestant.

    Works are the desire of God’s heart that are the living out of our faith. Many people do good works out of a sense of obligation or compassion, but not as acts motivated by their love for God and faith in Christ. Sympathy for the people who are suffering from lack, infirmity, or circumstance without stepping into that situation by faith is just pity while remaining self-centered. It’s called sacrifice. God wants us to be the ambassadors of Christ in the world. That means we must demonstrate our faith by how we relate to others. We must earnestly pray that we may be conformed to the image of Jesus, now and forever. James doesn’t suggest that works will save us, but he is pretty emphatic that true faith will produce sacrificial efforts for the sake of others.

    What I find interesting about this topic is the focus on women discipling others (the younger) which I fully agree with but for me all of my matriarchs and older wise women in my life have gone on to glory. It’s been difficult to find a “replacement or replacements” if you will while I pour into others. I also know a lot of this is dependent on the demographics in your local body of believers, your physical location in the country etc.. but I truly miss those women and wish for more of that in my own life.❤

    I don't understand why these leaders are so obsessed with KP. In India most Christians consider him a conman who amassed unaccountable wealth from the USA. He might have begun well but the later part of his ministry where he changed his denomination and took on the title of a bishop was all to cover up his unaccountable massive wealth.

    The truth of God will always be offensive, you cannot make it inoffensive, that depends on the Spirit of God working in the other individual. Like Bill said, "converts come out of conflict"; His truth spoken and shared incites conflict, but brings converts.

    In a 2023 Barna study it revealed 70% of Americans call themself Christian 4% of that 70 actually have a Biblical worldview and live accordingly. This means 66% of the professed are only fooling themselves. The hyper grace message has made a lot of 'converts' without real transformation or real discipleship. Go and make disciples, not converts. So in that, the Christian institution doesn't even adhere to historical, Biblical faith. We all must test everything including ourselves to see if we are IN the faith according to the Bible, willing to lay aside traditions of men. We will be judged by deed, not creed.

  • @RealDefinitionsMatter
    @RealDefinitionsMatter 2 місяці тому

    Are they leaving the faith (denouncing Yeshua) or just leaving the erroneous doctrines of Christianity that don't align with the Bible, but rather are traditions (which are a lot)? This would have to be determined with each individual. If you aren't allowed to challenge the popular consensus the reformation should never have happened, let alone Christianity in general.

    When I turned to God, I had no idea where to go for guidance. My wife asked me if I wanted to go to a local congregation. I told her I didn't know why, but I knew that I was not supposed to do that. I knew I wouldn't understand everything, but I would still understand the simple things. I read the bible a few times and was finally ready to find a church. EVERY preacher I spoke to said God accepted same sex marriages, it was acceptable for women teaching and leading men in the church, and that once a person accepts God that they will be saved even if they revert back to rebellion against God. Even a layman can understand these lies and that these "progressibe" preachers will lead you to hell. One preacher even told me I was "sinning" because I included old testament verses, specifically Leviticus 18, to my children's memory work.
