  E085: Set the Table, Let God Move!

  Sep 18, 202643 minS4

  What happens when you stop trying to build ministry according to a formula and start listening for what the Holy Spirit is saying? In this episode of the COGO Podcast, R.W. Moody sits down with Kevin McGuire, leader of 12 Stones Coffee Community in Franklin, Ohio, to talk about how a coffee shop became an unexpected place for community, conversation, discipleship, and lives being changed. You will hear the story behind 12 Stones and how a fresh expression of ministry emerged not from a strategic plan, but from a willingness to listen, strip away assumptions, and follow where God was leading. At the heart of this conversation is a different way of thinking about discipleship, one that looks less like a program and more like a journey. Kevin shares about creating space for genuine relationships, allowing conversations to develop naturally, and trusting the Holy Spirit to work over time. For leaders wondering what a fresh expression of discipleship could look like in their own community, this episode offers an invitation to listen, trust, and take the next step God puts in front of them.

Moody sits down with a few members of AU Movement , a college worship and songwriting collective from Anderson University.

They also talk about their first single, Commitment , and the heart behind creating music that points people to Jesus. The conversation goes much deeper than music, exploring what it means to lead worship with authenticity, humility, and a willingness to let the Holy Spirit lead. With AU Movement preparing to lead worship at the Ohio State Youth Convention this November , they share what they are praying for and how they hope students encounter God through worship.
