In this conversation, Kyle is joined by John Whittaker, who does the weekly podcast Bible in Life as well as The Listeners Commentary (which is an audio commentary through scripture). This episode is a special episode while Kyle plans out “Season 2” of the podcast. In this, and hopefully other special episodes, Kyle invites people who disagree with him on various topics about discipleship and spiritual formation to engage in a discussion about areas of difference and agreement.

Kyle and John engage in a dialogue about discipleship, spiritual formation, and the role of theology in the church. They explore the challenges of modern discipleship, the implications of the term “disciple” in the New Testament, and the importance of a robust theological framework for spiritual growth.
