Summary
The inaugural episode of the Redemption Life Podcast introduces the hosts—Drew (lead pastor), Austin (college pastor), Jennifer (staff), and Ellen (volunteer)—discussing the podcast's vision to model theological conversations rooted in gospel centrality, discipleship as body-of-Christ community rather than top-down mentorship, and how believers grow in Christ by deepening into the gospel rather than moving beyond it.
Highlights
You make progress in the same way that you got saved. You don't move on from the simple basic message of the gospel to a deeper knowledge that takes you beyond that. You move more deeply into that.
Discipleship happens everywhere. Every single person that we encounter has something to teach us because they've been indwelt with the Holy Spirit and bring something unique that illuminates our life and scripture differently.
It's going to be good like a Thanksgiving dinner with your family, because that's the only family you have. There's something just about sticking with your real flawed pastor and the real flawed people around you—that's the environment God wants to shape us in.
