    Podcast Episode 68 - Discipling Student Athletes
    2025/03/17
    Have you ever wondered about an athlete’s motivation to kneel in the end zone after scoring a touchdown? Or giving “glory to God” in the post game interview? In today’s episode we talk with someone who has a definite influence on these behaviors. Teg Tegelar is the Athletes in Action Sports Chaplain for the University of Tennessee. Teg and his team has discipled student athletes from all sports at UT for the past 28 years. Teg talks with us about the challenges he faces with student athletes, their approach to discipling them, and some of the fruits they have seen in their efforts.

    Episode 67 - A View from the Pew
    2025/03/11
    In today's episode we have the first of hopefully many future conversations with church folks that are proactive in their own discipleship and disciple making. Mark and Charla talk with David Childress, Lay Leader of Middlebrook Pike UMC in Knoxville, TN. David shares the source of his passion and drive for following Jesus and walking alongside others on their journey. The point that David makes clearly and demonstrates often is that the key to discipleship is being in community with other followers. And along with that idea, he shares that the key to disciple making is building relationships. In both instances, we must be transparent and somewhat vulnerable to the people that we hold and hold us accountable in love.

    Episode 65 - Disciple the Family
    2025/02/03
    In today's episode, Mark and Charla have a conversation around a Christianity Today article on discipling the family today. What is the church's role in the spiritual formation and what does it look like are just a couple of the questions that our dynamic duo tackle. It's an important part of our mission as the church, to equip our parents and others to disciple their families and each other outside the church walls. Take a listen and feel free to share your thoughts and ideas in the comments.

    Episode 64 - Are you making changes in 2025?
    2025/01/14
    Since this is the first new podcast episode of 2025, Charla and I wanted to have a conversation for those of you who want to do some new things this year. We will ask and answer some of the questions you should consider if you are thinking about rebooting or reenergizing your discipleship mission. What are things we should consider to get started making changes or even just tweaks? Where do we find resources to support our efforts? And other pertinent queries to guide us and hopefully propel our churches into more engaged and engaging discipleship cultures.

    Episode 63 - Digital Discipleship with Rachel Billups & Matt Rawle
    2024/12/15
    Today, Mark and Charla have a fantastic interview with Rachel Billups and Matt Rawle. The conversation centers around digital discipleship and how they help pastors and churches through their new platform Hub4Innovation. Matt and Rachel discuss the Hub as a place for pastors to experiment and play with new ideas and to fail safely and hopefully forward toward innovation success. Rachel shares that a great use for digital space is for prayer, i.e. hosting a prayer group in the metaverse. Matt leans in and unpacks the idea that our digital and social tools are most effective when used for “formation” and not just “information.” And the four talk about other tips and tools for seeking margin in our lives by leveraging digital tools. Take a listen, you can thank us later… Hub4innovation: https://www.hub4innovation.org/ In the Sandbox Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6lhTWo6uPPjWh6dHM6VYmZ?si=d80bfeb6b0c940e6&nd=1&dlsi=36a931eece3d47c8 Substack: https://substack.com/@innovationhub/notes ChurchCMO Website: https://churchcmo.com/ Email Mark: Mark@churchcmo.com

    The key to successfully making more disciples is committing to building relationships. On today's episode we talk with Dr. Mark Hicks a relationship counselor who has experience making disciples as a pastor and missionary.
