Why MATTHIAS instead of Justus (Disciples, E13)

Getting to Know the Disciples, Episode 13: A famous “pastor” had failed. His name was Judas Iscariot. The whole town was buzzing about it, and there was a sense of urgency to find his replacement.

Maybe you can identify with the man who got picked, who didn’t get picked, wasn’t even considered, or the leader trying to make a godly decision. Wherever you find yourself today, join Patrick Morley and learn a biblical model for making—and accepting—tough decisions.

Why Do I Sin? (James, E5)

The Wisdom of James, Episode 5: Temptation. We’ve all faced it. You’ve been tempted to lie avoid getting in trouble. You’ve been tempted to cheat to get ahead or pay lower taxes. You’ve been tempted to gossip, hold a grudge, or to think you’re better than someone. Why do we sin? Is it a test? Is temptation some cosmic exam of your goodness or trust in God? Or is it a trap laid by Satan? Did the devil make you do it? Here’s the good news. You can overcome temptation. You can recover from sin. Join Brett Clemmer as we examine the source of temptation, the nature of sin, and the victory we have in Christ.

JAMES: A Superb Level-5 Leader (Disciples, E9)

Getting to Know the Disciples, Episode 9: If James son of Alpheus were alive today, he probably wouldn’t have a YouTube channel or TikTok account.

But it turns out we know quite a lot about James! Far from obscure and boring, James led a thrilling life of kingdom building and disciple making. Join Pat Morley as we shine a spotlight on this superb example of a level-5 leader. What’s a level-5 leader, you ask? Join us and find out!

NATHANAEL: From Bigot to Believer (Disciples, E8)

Getting to Know the Disciples, Episode 8: Imagine the disciples sitting around a campfire one night when one of them asks: “What did you do when you first heard of our rabbi, Jesus?” Some might recount stories of dropping their fishing nets and following him, others of leaving a job or hometown. And then Nathanael pipes up: “When Phillip told me about Jesus, I made fun of his hometown!” This story became well-known enough that John would recount it decades later in his gospel! But the first interaction Nathanael had with Jesus wasn’t just memorable—it was moving. What did Jesus see in this young man? A student? A skeptic? A bigot? Actually, He saw a man of pure intention. And Nathanael’s response to Jesus was instant and profound. Join Brett Clemmer as he takes on the next disciple in our series on the 12.

THOMAS: The Inquisitive Disciple (Disciples, E6)

Getting to Know the Disciples, Episode 6: We all have moments in our life when we experience challenges to our faith. God seems distant, the Holy Spirit silent, and we wonder, “Did I get this wrong? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Should I believe this?” Unfortunately for one of the disciples, his questions were captured in the gospels and earned him the nickname “Doubting Thomas.” But this is not even close to the whole story of Thomas’ life. Join Brett Clemmer as he teaches about Thomas, a man of inquisitiveness and action.

JOHN: The Disciple of Truth & Love (Disciples, E5)

Getting to Know the Disciples, Episode 5: Brothers James and John were known as the “Sons of Thunder.” They were not shy, it would seem, and yet both were in Jesus’ inner circle.

John started out as a disciple who was bold and contentious. Yet he would become knows as “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” It just shows that Jesus can soften any heart—even yours.

JUDAS: The Disciple We Love To Hate (Disciples, E3)

Getting to Know the Disciples, Episode 3: Betraying Jesus has made Judas one of the most infamous names in the world. While he plays a key role in the story of the passion, he has an overall minor role in the Gospels, and we know very little about his motives. And yet, we love to hate him. Or I would contend that we love to hate the idea of him, because when we look at scripture, we find a more complex character than we might have expected. Join Jeremy Schurke as we get to know the biblical Judas Iscariot.
