About Apollos Watered

If your church was taken out of your community, who would notice? Who would miss you? Ministry Deep Dive is a podcast from Apollos Watered: The Center for Discipleship & Cultural Apologetics. And we want to help you become noticeable and valued as God's people in your world. Each episode goes beneath the surface of ministry to explore the challenges, opportunities, and practices shaping today’s leaders and the churches you serve. From discipleship and cultural engagement to spiritual formation and public theology, we wrestle with the big questions and everyday realities pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders face. We don’t just talk about church, we talk about you who lead it and the world that surrounds it. Our approach is missioholistic—a framework we’ve developed to help you faithfully minister in a complex, pluralistic culture that enables you to transform the world. If you want to grow deeper in your faith, sharpen your leadership, and engage culture with the hope of the gospel in a way that leaves lasting transformation and growth, join us for thoughtful conversations that will help you become noticeable in a world where churches and Christians no longer seem relevant.

Published 21 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] You know, so I think it's better to talk about progressives and conservatives. But I honestly think that progressing and conserving should be complementary. They shouldn't be isolated into separate corners because we live... In a dynamic world, the world is constantly changing. There are many things that are worth keeping, but there are also many new things that we ought to entertain the possibility of adopting. So I would argue that we need spiritual discernment to decide what should we dispense with and what should we keep You know, what should we progress to, and what should we be aware of? […]
