The Post-Christian Podcast – Fruitful (Audiobook Giveaway)

As we kick off season 7, I share a message in which I shared insights from my book ⁠Fruitful: Becoming Who God Created You to Be⁠ at Mosaic South Pasadena.

Jesus revealed a new way of looking at life, a new way of organizing the future. God’s design for our lives is that we would be productive, generative, and creative.

Jesus described four types of soils representing four types of people. Some are like a path, some are like a shallow and rocky soil, some are like soil growing thorns, and some are like a soil that produces much fruit.

Jesus’ parable points out that we struggle to become who we were created to be when we have a hardened heart, a shallow faith, or are easily distracted. If we can avoid these pitfalls, we will be fruitful.

Four Characteristics To Become Fruitful:

  • Receptivity
  • Tenacity
  • Intentionality
  • Proactivity

The Post-Christian Podcast – Reflecting on 2023 and Making an Impact in 2024

In this episode, I share some of the highlights of 2023 with a look towards how together we can make an impact in 2024.

From making the Church Growth Workshop available for free to helping skeptics through the New Testament and co-founding the Damascus Road Collective in an effort to help bring spiritual renewal through thriving churches, 2023 was the best year yet for Catalyzing Community!

Our ministry Gateway in Austin included some remarkable opportunities from a healthy and beautiful transition from John Burke to Carlos Ortiz, Jr. as senior pastor to a trip to see the remarkable work of Impact India 360 to a sabbatical to seeing transformation in the hearts of South Austinites and folks connecting to our online campus, there have been many things to be thankful for in 2023!
