"Practicing the Way: Real Conversations" Episode 3
In this final episode of our Going Deeper mini-season, Nate sits down with Jacob Cain to reflect on what really changed through the Practicing the Way discipleship class.
They talk about:
The discomfort of confession
Why Sabbath was harder than expected
How comparison quietly shapes our spiritual life
The difference between doing the way and practicing the way
This conversation is honest, practical, and encouraging for anyone who wants to grow but feels stuck.
Discipleship isn’t about instant transformation. It’s about daily practice.

"Practicing the Way: Real Conversations" Episode 2
In this episode of Going Deeper, Nate sits down with Wendy to talk about her experience walking through the Practicing the Way discipleship class.
Wendy shares honestly about her spiritual upbringing, her desire to grow closer to God, and the practices that challenged her most — from learning to be still, to embracing Sabbath, to building a daily rhythm with Scripture.
What stands out most is how the class didn’t just add information — it shaped her heart. She talks about finding peace, contentment, and a renewed desire to live as an apprentice of Jesus in everyday life, including within her family relationships.
If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to your walk with Christ than just attending church, this conversation will encourage you to take the next step.
If you’re considering joining the next discipleship class, this is a great place to start. Sign up at: https://subspla.sh/29n3bm9 (https://subspla.sh/29n3bm9)
