When I sat down with Jim Halstead of Go-and-Tell Ministries, we didn't just reminisce about our favorite deep-dish pizza at Giordano's; we tackled the heavyweight topic of how regular churchgoers can evolve into true disciples of Christ.

Together, we peel back the layers of Jim's transition from pastor to missionary, his family's love for hoops, and most importantly, how the modern church can coach believers to walk in Jesus' footsteps, one soul at a time.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:https://thelionwithin.us/podcast/354-a-disciples-walk-with-jim-halstead/Disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with your fellow brothers in Christ around a crackling campfire.
