EPISODE 0179 | Post Apostolic Church Leadership Wisdom
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0179
In this episode, Pastors Nate and Daniel explore the intense spiritual reality of discipleship. This isn’t just about Sunday services or casual belief—this is a war for your soul, your family, and your future. They break down the difference between believing in Jesus and following Him, why so many Christians are spiritually bored or stuck, and what it really looks like to pick up your cross daily. Get ready for a raw, honest conversation that calls you higher, challenges your comfort, and reminds you of the battle you were born to fight.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ The true cost of discipleship and what Jesus actually calls us to.
✔️ Why spiritual boredom and compromise are signs of disengagement from the mission.
✔️ How culture lulls Christians to sleep with comfort and ease.
✔️ The difference between passive belief and active obedience.
✔️ Why the church must wake up to the war we’re in.
Key Scriptures:
📖 Matthew 16:24 – “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross.”
📖 2 Timothy 2:3 – “Endure hardship… as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.”
📖 Revelation 3:16 – “Because you are lukewarm… I will spit you out of my mouth.”
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Discipleship is not about comfort—it’s about commitment.
🔹 You were not saved to sit; you were saved to serve and stand in the fight.
🔹 Real love for Jesus means obedience, not convenience.
🔹 This is a spiritual war—and if you're not fighting, you're probably losing.
