Busy is the word for the day.  I can keep up with anyone in the busy-race.  I can out-busy just about anyone.... not that I'm proud of it. The thing with disciple-making is it works even when you get overwhelmed for a bit.  Here is a short recording I made back in MARCH!!!! It only took my 6 months to move it from my phone to my computer to you.

The other day a friend of mine sent me this message: "Long time no text. Hope you and your family is doing well. My son is struggling with trying to talk and reach some high school friends that are Buddhist. Do you have any resources or tips to help him start a conversation with them." This podcast is an attempt to answer that question.

Many prepare for the initial sacrifice, but few think about the costs the rest of their lives. Its been a while since we posted anything.  After I posted this episode I thought of a dozen different things I wish I had said or added, so maybe I'll make a part 2 down the road.

If you liked what you heard I encourage you to read the whole book.

Learning to run Run a marathon Not a sprint A marathon And, run it well "If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men." 1 Cor 15:19 (NIV)

What do you do when God asks you to play second fiddle? What do you do when His plan for you is not fame and glory, but anonymity and unrecognized work? Will you follow Him?

Ironically, a short episode on perseverance and encouragement.

Are you all in when it comes to the Kingdom?  What does it mean to be all in?  How do we help grow the people to disciple to be all in?  In this episode, we address some of those questions as well as some of our own struggles in those areas.   Audible book suggestion: (If you like audiobooks you should strongly consider signing up for an Audible subscription from Amazon. You get two books per month for often less than the price of one audiobook.)

Imagine what it would have been like to be a soldier guarding the tomb. It's silent. It's quiet. Until it isn't.   https://www.facebook.com/kentoneasterpageant/
