Doable Discipleship

As Christians, we have brothers and sisters not just in your church, or your country, but all around the world. Oftentimes it's hard for us to grasp that we are connected in the body of Christ with people from other countries. In this second episode on the Family of God, we're going to look at how we should relate as brothers and sisters in Christ to people we don't even know. It may be easy for us to appreciate how to relate to the person we see at church every week . . . but what about the fellow believer you disagree with on cable news? Or the person living out their faith in a whole other continent?

In this episode host Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. Ed Stetzer, Dean of Talbot School of Theology, Editor-in-Chief of Outreach Magazine, and host of Ed Stetzer Live on Moody Radio. Jason and Ed talk about Ed's book Christians in the Age of Outrage, how we should think about and relate to people we have never met, how the truth of the family of God should impact leadership and Missions, and much more.

“Who am I, O Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And now, Sovereign Lord, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving your servant a lasting dynasty! Do you deal with everyone this way, O Sovereign Lord?” – 2 Samuel 7:18-19

In 1 Samuel, we were introduced to a new cast of characters in the story of Israel – and a new season of change. The people of Israel demanded a king and, despite God’s warnings through the prophet Samuel, they were given Saul, the first king of Israel. But all was not well and soon God’s anointing turns from Saul to David. 1 Samuel ends with the death of Saul and 2 Samuel then picks up the story of David’s reign as king. 2 Samuel is a complex book of palace intrigue, wars, adultery, murder, repentance – all wrapped around these themes of who is the real king and what does it really mean to be a man after God’s own heart.

To help us navigate this book is Dr. Heath Thomas. Dr. Thomas is the president of Oklahoma Baptist University, an Old Testament Professor, and author of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Samuel.
