Episode 15 Discipleship & the Church Part 1

What is the church and why does membership matter for discipleship? Pastor Lyle and Pastor Andy unpack Jesus’ “My church” (Matthew 16), the meaning of ekklesia, and the difference between the Body of Christ and the local church. Together they explore accountability (Hebrews 13:17), the mark of love (John 13:34–35), and why the church is meant to be an “embassy of heaven” in a broken world.

This conversation digs into why gathering matters, what it means to belong to a local body, and how church membership shapes both spiritual maturity and mission. They also share personal stories, practical applications, and a few laughs along the way. Plus: rally points, free Waypoints journals, and Waypoints coaching opportunities to help you take your next step in discipleship.
