Pastor Mike is also the author of Jesus Christ: The Prince of Preachers (DayOne, 2007), The Sovereignty and Supremacy of King Jesus (DayOne, 2011), Things that Go Bump in the Church (Harvest House, 2014), Discovering Romans (Zondervan, 2014), Sexual Fidelity (NoCo Media, 2015) and Evangelical White Lies (NoCo Media, 2016). He is overwhelmed at God’s grace in his salvation and for his family (Kim, Hayley, Luke, Maddie and Grace).

Matthew 28:16-20
is known as the great commission. Do you know what the main command in the commission is? It's not to "go and baptize", but to "make disciples". Pastors Mike and Steve discuss what it means to do this.
"We are constantly on a stretch, if not on a strain to devise new methods, new plans, new organizations to advance the Church and secure enlargement and efficiency for the Gospel. This trend of the day has a tendency to lose sight of the man, or sink the man in the plan or organization. God's plan is to make much of the man, far more of him than of anything else. Men are God's method. The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men." -- E. M. Bounds
Part of discipleship is getting men to take their position in Christ and their responsibilities more seriously - to learn, grow, and pass on to their wives and kids. The principle is not just limited to men.
Listen in as the guys discuss the concept of discipleship. It is important to be at a Bible-teaching church that has a high view of God - and discipleship happens in that atmosphere.
