With the drop of the Epstein files, there are a lot of reactions that can be found online right now. Outrage! Anger! Hopelessness! Conspiracies + theories! Is it the end of the world? Is it business as usual for America? Do we storm the White House? Pray and fast? What the crap do we even do when we are exposed to the depths of darkness like what we see here?Let's walk through it together. In this week's episode, Jor Talks Epstein files, what is worth talking about, what we see about God through this, and what we should do after seeing the files.
Discipleship means modeling. It means “follow me as I follow Christ”. So, this is my best attempt to keep it real, and bring you into the very real emotions I am working through even now. In this episode Jor Talks about loss and how to handle it, or at least, the 10 things he is doing right now to make sure he is appropriately processing loss! This episode is most certainly a tribute to the life of Jeff Leake and all that he did for Jor, but also hopefully useful to those who are currently learning to walk through loss.
What if the biggest impact you could make didn’t require more talent, charisma, or gifting..... just a few little things that anyone can do with effort effort?In a culture obsessed with platforms, influence, and excellence, we often overlook the small, unglamorous habits that actually build trust, shape culture, and form disciples. The truth is, some of the most powerful leadership practices take zero skill....but almost everyone skips them.In this episode, JOR TALKS about things like being on time, learning names, expressing gratitude, giving undivided attention, doing the jobs no one wants, apologizing quickly, celebrating others, and staying coachable can radically change your leadership, your ministry, and your relationships.These aren’t flashy. They won’t get you a stage.But they will earn you trust, grow teams, prevent burnout, and reflect the heart of Jesus!If you’re a Christian, disciple-maker, or leader who wants to be faithful in the little things.... yeahhhh this one’s for you.Zero skill. No excuses. Massive impact.
Jor Talks about a verse that's been high key on his heart, mind, and spirit for the last month or so! We're diving on one single verse this week, talking about what we get when we start a relationship with the spirit! In short, we're talking about POWER, LOVE, and SELF DISCIPLINE. But we're also discussing the pitfalls of fear, and how the lean into ALL that Jesus has for us through his Spirit!
You were never meant to stay a baby! In this episode, Jor Talks being a baby Christian!Many believers assume they’re mature because they lead, serve, or flow in spiritual gifts. But Scripture says maturity is measured by obedience, character, discipline, and love.We break down the signs you may have stopped growing spiritually: relying on others to “feed” you, chasing emotional moments, lacking everyday discipline, preaching a purpose-driven TED-Talk instead of the gospel, ongoing sin patterns, exaggerated discernment, running from accountability, confusing spiritual gifts with spiritual fruit, and limiting intimacy with God to hype moments.
SORRY for the audio quality - but we live and we learn 😂 On this part two episode, Jor Talks about more schemes of the enemy and how they are used against you! Busyness - Do you ever just move so fast that you don't even remember what you did today? What do you think that is doing for your spiritual life?Isolation - The primary thing the enemy does is get us off on our own so we are away from community!Shame - "I am nothing" and "I am worthless" is the cry of our generation, but shame was conquered on the cross!Doubt - From "did God reallllly say?" to "You certainly will NOT die" to "go ahead, jump off!", the Devil loves to get us to doubt God's character and even existence.
This week Jor Talks about the real reason some people thrive on teams, and other's don't. Everyone calm down! Don't worry! This isnt turning into a leadership podcast. Actually, Jor Talks about how leadership opportunities are part of discipleship! And how community is the perfect environment in which disfunction is often exposed, identified, held accountable, and even fixed! Using Patrick Lenchioni's book The Ideal Team Player as a guideline, Jor Talks about being Humble, Hungry, and Smart, and what happens when you're missing 1 of each of the 3!
That sin is so small!You've got time!You're in charge!Those three LIES are some of the tricks that the Devil has been using for years! This week Jor Talks about how the Devil tricks us, and he's not even all that creative. As a matter of fact, turns out he's been doing these same tactics to all of us!Jor Talks about the importance of remembering that he exists, recognizing his tricks, and refusing to believe the lies!
We always need to be asking the question, "Are we doing what we set out to do?" and "Is this actually working like we say it is?", yes, even with Church! In this episode, Jor Talks about 5 church trends that he hopes goes away, and of course, what they need to be replaced with! In this, Jor encourages you, the listener to be a part of the solution; rather than sitting around and crying about all the ways "the church" doesn't get it, lets be the change our world needs!Trends discussed:1. Pastors Running the Church2. Attractional Outreaches3. Fear / Avoidance of using Church Language4. Corporate Talk / Inauthentic 5. Excellence that Suffocates
Without noticing it, we can accidentally start to believe that the Gospel is about something other than what Jesus set out and accomplished. This leaves us either frustrated, because the "gospel" didn't actually change our lives (Because you believed a false one) Or powerless, because you are more focused on this lifetime and world and now the freedom Jesus bought for you!In this episode Jor Talks Social Gospels! The things that are good, and downstream of the gospel, but not the main thing!
Forget the gym, Jor Talks about getting FAT!Today we're getting into what it takes to be someone who can receive discipleship! What attitudes need to be present in someone who is ready to grow! Are you FAITHFUL?Have you made yourself AVAILABLE?Are you TEACHABLE?Lets dive into this "short" podcast (Or at least, Jor thought it would be in the beginning lol) and see where we can grow this week!
Jor Talks about a few moments that made him think about the legacy you leave behind. If you invest in the now, it eventually fades away! The best and coolest moments of yesterday, become unimportant, forgotten, or worse - cringe just a few years later. How do you invest in something deeper than the here and now? Let's talk about the Dallas Cowboys and Will Smith and see if we can learn anything today!
In this first episode, Jor Talks about the "why" behind the podcast. We cover a lot of ground, from the reasons why you need discipled, to the non negotiables surrounding some baseline realities you're going to have to come to grips with if you want to be discipled! In this Jor tells stories of those who have discipled him as we apply the principles of being ok with being wrong, talking about your weaknesses, and of course, the commitment to submission and obedience.
What our churches need is not more events, a more relevant series, a better service, or even cooler worship. I believe discipleship is the way forward. So come hang with me, and let's find opportunities for discipleship in everyday life.
