This week we talk about how active personal discipleship is the key to growing spiritually regardless of our cultural climate. The Importance of personal discipleship can not be overstated. We will also cover signs of spiritual maturity to look for in our personal discipleship relationships that help us ensure we are growing spiritually. Hosted on Ausha.

This week we continue our series in Titus focusing on discipleship, specifically focusing on the importance of corporate discipleship this week. When we think of discipleship we often think individual, personal, 1:1 discipleship only. However it is clear throughout Scripture that so much discipleship happens in the context of community, specifically the local church. The importance of structure and godly leaders to motivate our faith is clear, yet often unvalued. In fact, Paul argues that each of us are being corporately discipled, the question is just by who. Too often it is by Crete (America, the world!). How can we glean from what God has provided through His church? Join us this week as we study this important Text more! Hosted on Ausha.

In this episode, Tory and Mary continue their conversation on lament. How do we move from sorrow to laughter? How do we receive good in the midst of loss, disappointment, anger, etc.? Can you hold sorrow and joy? How do we learn to trust Him? How do we see suffering as a good gift from our loving Lord? For truly, “the heart of the wise is in the house of mourning (Ecc. 7:4).” Visit our website for show notes and more information: https://thewellaustin.com/podcast/lament/ Hosted on Ausha.

We begin a new series in the book of Titus, focused on the topic of discipleship! Discipleship, for many of us, has become confusing and convoluted. It is often very narrow. However, Biblical discipleship is much more expansive. As we begin the series Paul clearly has a personal discipleship relationship with Titus. He begins to inform him how to corporately disciple his church (because discipleship is both personal and corporate!). As we see their relationship unfolding in this book there's a lot that we glean from it and apply to our discipleship. Discipleship is likely a lot higher than we tend to think, but also not as unattainable as many of us think! Join us as we find out why and dive into this book together. Hosted on Ausha.

Wait what?! How is sorrow better than laughter? What is grief? Is it different than lament? What makes lament inherently Christian? Why should we lament and what do we even lament in the first place? Join us as Tory and Mary dive into the gift of sorrow and how God invites us to turn to to him and confront the brokenness in and around us.

Join us as we continue in our short "Invisible Leaders" sermon series. Today we will focus on Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch. This duo meet in the most uncommon way, on a road, in the desert. Its apparent that God has a plan for the Eunuch's life and he invites Philip to be a part of it. Philip's obedience is the response to God's invitation and he gets to witness the fruit of God's plan because of it. Do we think about obedience in this way? That God's commands might be an invitation to participate in his plan for the world and for others? Join us as we study these scriptures together. Hosted on Ausha.

Join us this Sunday as we continue in our short "Invisible Leaders" sermon series. Today we focus on Rufus, who thought he was relatively unknown, had a major impact, mainly because of the sovereignty of God and the decision of his father. We see how every little decision that we make can have major implications in the Kingdom of God. Do we think about these decisions often, and align our lives to this? Join us as we study these small but powerful passages together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

As shepherds and overseers of a local church, elders are entrusted with protecting, leading, equipping and caring for the corporate church body and her individual members.

Join us as we begin a new short series, looking at some of the "invisible leaders" in the Bible. Often in Scripture we try to emulate the giants oft he faith, but what about he lesser known people? Could they even be more of an encouragement to our faith? Today we study Epaphroditus, and meditate on how his sacrificial service is still impacting us today. Do we believe that our sacrificial service will impact others in the future as well? Join us as we study this passage together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
