  Jesus Looked at Him and Loved Him

  Aug 18, 202633 min

  “Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” - Mark 10:21-23 (NLT) What if the most important part of the story of the rich young ruler isn’t what Jesus said—but how Jesus looked at him? In Mark 10:21, before issuing one of His most challenging invitations, Scripture tells us: “Jesus looked at him and loved him.” That single sentence reveals something profound about the heart of Christ. His call to surrender wasn’t rooted in disappointment or condemnation, but in genuine love and compassion. In this episode, we explore: -Why Jesus’ look of love changes how we read the rich young ruler’s story -What it means to hold both truth and compassion together -How our identity can become anchored in possessions, success, or self-righteousness instead of Christ -What parents, leaders, and everyday followers of Jesus can learn from the way Jesus interacted with difficult people -Three practical ways to “look at others with love” in your daily life—through your eyes, your presence, and your heart Whether you’re leading your family, serving in ministry, or simply trying to become more like Jesus, this conversation is an invitation to see people the way He does—and to remember that His loving gaze extends to us, even in our own struggles. If this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing it with someone who could use the reminder that truth spoken in love has the power to transform lives.

  The Invitation to Confession with Jamin Goggin (Rewind)

  Aug 11, 20261h 8m

  “The act of confessing our sins to one another is a graced invitation to practice the way of faith, hope, and love. The soul tempted to despair will be particularly allergic to ecclesial confession, but it is here that they will find great remedy for their agonizing condition. For in confessing their sins to one another, they are heard with the faith of fellow saints, they are encouraged by the hope of fellow pilgrims, and they are loved with the charity of brothers and sisters.” - Pastoral Confessions Confession is not an easy topic - but it is a healthy topic. Oftentimes when the topic of confession is brought up, it’s met with one of two responses: 1. "My walls are now up and I’m tuning out what is being talked about." 2. "This is so true and important and a lot of other people have things to confess." But like I said, confession is healthy. And even more than that, confession is necessary. Now I may be biased, but one of the best books on confession releases one week from today - Pastoral Confessions written by my friend Jamin Goggin. Jamin has been on this podcast a few times in the past. He’s an associate professor at Talbot School of Theology, Director of the Healthy Pastor Initiative for Finishing the Task, and one of the most thoughtful theologians I know. In today’s conversation Jamin and I talk about what led him to write about confession, the real human struggles with sin and confession, some ways we can more normalize confession, and much more. You can find a link to order Pastoral Confession in the show notes. I should point out, and we talk about this in the conversation, Pastoral Confessions is a book primarily written to Pastors, but its deep thoughts and themes of confession are important for all of us.

  Falling in Love with Jesus with JD Lyonhart (Rewind)

  Jul 28, 20261h 2m

  Announcement! Doable Discipleship now has its own YouTube channel! The Doable Discipleship YouTube channel is officially live. Right now you can find the entirety of the Navigating the Bible series on that channel and more of our previous episodes will be making its way there soon, along with all new episodes of the podcast. Make sure to subscribe to the channel so you can get notifications about every new episode. “For the beauty of a journey is that it doesn’t need to be just one thing but can be many things spread out over time and over the many legs of the adventure . . . The Christian story may have already played out with robed people in a bygone past, but I believe it also continues to move, roll on, slosh, and rise in me each morning and moon.” - The Journey of God All of history has a central theme: God wants a family. This is why the universe was made - so God could make people. This is the story of the Israelites through the Old Testament. This is redemption story, Jesus living on earth and dying on the cross to make it possible for God’s family to live with him forever. This is the story of the church - spreading the Good News that God wants a family and that family learning how to live together. This is the story of the end, God’s family finally living with Him in perfect relationship forever. This may be a central theme, but there is so much in it to unpack and J.D. Lyonhart does just that in his new book, The Journey of God. J.D. is a professor of religion and philosophy at University of Jamestown and co-host of the Spiritually Incorrect Podcast. In this episode, J.D. and I talk about why it’s okay to have fun when talking about the Bible, the central theme of Jesus’ presence, how we should think about sin and redemption, current issues facing the church, and much more.

  The - of God: What it Means to be Itself with JD Lyonhart

  Jul 21, 202655 min

  Announcement! Doable Discipleship now has its own YouTube channel! The Doable Discipleship YouTube channel is officially live. Right now you can find the entirety of the Navigating the Bible series on that channel and more of our previous episodes will be making its way there soon, along with all new episodes of the podcast. Make sure to subscribe to the channel so you can get notifications about every new episode. “And to this the voice bellowed: ‘I AM WHO I AM.’” . . . “At first, I thought maybe this was just God’s way of saying, ‘Hey, I exist. I AM real. Notice me!’ Or maybe it was God’s way of avoiding the question. I ask, ‘Who are you?’ and he says, ‘I AM WHAT I AM.’ In other words, it’s none of your business who I am, Moses. But the more I’ve thought about it, the more the whole ‘I AM’ thing has begun to strike a chord. You see, I keep asking which one of the gods ‘is’ real. But that question already assumes I know what the meaning of ‘is’ is. What is is-ness? What does it mean to exist - to be something that is rather than isn’t? . . . If the gods are just other beings that exist, then they must derive their existence from something else, and that source would be the true God, wouldn’t it?” - Zeus Was An Atheist, pg. 11 I’m on a mission to make learning the Bible, and talking about God, fun. And to show that we can do so in a worshipful, honoring, reverent way. When I first met author and professor J.D. Lyonhart last year to talk about his book The Journey of God, I knew I met a fellow compatriot in this mission. His books are incredibly fun and funny, while wrestling with deep philosophical, Biblical issues. His latest book is called Zeus was an Atheist: An Odd Retelling of the Moses Story. Even the title elicits a chuckle. The book puts you in the mind of Moses, not from a “this is surely what he was thinking” standpoint, but, yes, an odd retelling standpoint. We walk with Moses through all of the Exodus events you know, but listen as Moses wrestles with, meditates on, and acknowledges who God is - Being, Beauty, Goodness, Truth, Justice. J.D. Lyonhart is Associate Professor of Religion and Philosophy at the University of Jamestown a Fellow at the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Platonism at Cambridge University, and cohost of the Spiritually Incorrect Podcast. This conversation today, much like the book itself we’re talking about, is both fun and thought-provoking and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

  Navigating the Bible: The Message of the New Testament with Ben Witherington III

  Jul 14, 20261h 15m

  In August of 2024 I started a series called Navigating the Bible with the goal of talking about every book of the Bible. I didn’t know at the time how long it would take. I didn’t know who would say yes to coming on with me to talk about these books. But now, just about two years later, this is the final episode of the series. I may do some additional episodes down the line about to add things here or there, but today’s episode is a bit of a capstone for the Navigating the Bible series. The New Testament is, rightfully so, all about Jesus. The Gospels are the accounts of Jesus’ life and ministry on earth. The epistles are about the living out the reality of Jesus. As we’ve looked at each book of the New Testament we’ve answered questions like what are the major themes of this book, what does this book teach us about God, what does this book teach us about ourselves, and so on. Today we’re going to pose these questions about the whole of the New Testament so why not have somebody on who has written about every book of the New Testament. My guest today is Dr. Ben Witherington III, Amos Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary and author of over sixty books.
