How does studying the Bible help me grow as a disciple? What’s the difference between Bible reading and in-depth study? What are the benefits of studying the Bible with other Christians? How can I study the Scriptures with others at IDC?

Shane sits and talks extensively with one of the Ms that IDC has sent out to make disciples and plant churches in the Middle East. They discuss ministry, strategy, teaming, and the specific journey the Lord has them on of changing locations after 7 years. Listen, and join in praying for this brother and sister and their family!

As we identify and repent of sin, we never want to lose sight of God’s love for us and for Christ’s death for us. But how do we apply the gospel to our hearts in light of specific sins and failures? How can we make sure we’re not just forgiving ourselves, but resting in God’s forgiveness of us because of Christ?

Once the Lord has shown us our sin, and once we’ve dug into the heart dynamics at play, what does it look like for us to faithfully confess our sin? To whom should we confess? How should we respond when others confess to us?

Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart [our] mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45). Knowing that any sin that “comes out” of us is rooted deep in our hearts, how can we dig into our hearts to discern the idolatries and unbelief at work inside of us? Shane, Kent, and Denise give the biblical foundation and some practical help.

On a recent overseas trip, Pastor Shane was able to interview two workers who are striving to make disciples and plant churches in SE Asia. Hear about the challenges of living in their context, as well as how the Holy Spirit is moving to multiply his church.

Pastors Zac & Shane discuss how we as a church try to provide ongoing support for those we send overseas, including how members can be on the front lines of care through by serving on an advocacy team.

Listen in as Amanda Lyons has a conversation with Kristin and Meranda about how they and their families live as disciples of Jesus in South Asia. What do their lives look like overseas? What keeps them there when things are hard? What passages have helped them as women who are seeking to be a part of what God is doing in the world? How can women at IDC live in this way in their own contexts: as singles who work full time, as those who are training to go overseas, as stay-at-home moms of young kids, or as older ladies whose kids have left home?

Scripture References: Gen. 1:26-27, 28; Ps. 107:35-37; Prov. 27:17; Matt. 6:10; Jn. 3:3; 4:29, 39; 12:24; 14:2; 15:5; 20:17; 2 Tim. 2:2; Tit. 2:3-5.

Pastor Zac and his wife Amanda recently visited some of our missionaries in Europe and were able to sit down with Adam and Amy, who have been working to make disciples and plant churches in Prague.

How should Christians think about patriotism in light of our kingdom citizenship? What does faithfulness look like in relation to our civic authorities? How do we live as a multinational community in the local church?

Robert Jones defines anger as “our whole-personed active response of negative moral judgment against perceived evil.” But can our anger be righteous, or is it always sinful? How can we respond well to things that are truly evil or unjust? How can we correct our sinful anger?
