Hi, I'm Nathan Palatsky and this is Holy Hypocrites.
1 Corinthians 10 says, "'Therefore, whether you eat or drink "'or whatsoever you do, do it to the glory of God.'" But what does that mean if you're not a pastor or a full-time missionary? How do you do that day to day in the real world? That's where we're headed. Thanks for joining us. I'd invite you to subscribe on Apple or Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts.
Beyond Your Front Door - Moving from Jerusalem to Judea (Playbook Ep. 5)
What if living on mission has less to do with going somewhere extraordinary and more to do with making Jesus known everywhere God has already placed you?In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells His disciples that they will be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. In the last episode, we stopped at Jerusalem: before we worry about reaching the world, we need to own the mission field under our own roof.But Jesus doesn't stop at Jerusalem. The mission expands.In this episode of The Playbook, we're moving beyond the front door and asking what “Judea” might look like in everyday discipleship.Because mission isn't an extracurricular activity we add onto discipleship. Mission is part of what discipleship produces.A missional life isn't primarily about going somewhere extraordinary. It's about making Jesus known everywhere God has already placed you.Faithfulness starts where your feet are.Scripture: Acts 1:8; 1 Timothy 4:12; Matthew 25:31–46#Discipleship #ChristianLeadership #ChristianLiving #ChurchLeadership #YouthMinistry #ThePlaybook

Owning Your Home - the First Job Jesus Gave His Disciples (Playbook Ep. 4)
Global missions, like attendance, is easy to promote, easy to fundraise, and celebrate!
But Jesus sent the disciples to Jerusalem first (Acts 1:8), to their own homes and neighborhoods. Global outreach is good, but what if we pass over our neighbors and relatives, who also need Jesus, to go abroad?
Worse yet, what if we spend 50 weeks of the year "preparing" to do missions, solely knowing God and only two doing it, making Him known?
What if a racecar driver spent 95 laps in the pit box and only went out on track for 5?

What Is a Disciple? Defining the Target Before We Chart a Course (Playbook Ep. 3)
Everybody talks about making disciples.
Churches want to make disciples. Parents want to raise disciples. Youth pastors want to disciple students.
But before we can build a process, measure success, or decide what matters most, we have to answer a more basic question:
What is a disciple?
In this episode, I begin developing a working definition that will shape everything that follows: "A disciple is saved by Jesus, is transformed by Jesus, and lives to know Him and make Him known."
We'll explore why Jesus is the actor in salvation and transformation, why behavior is evidence rather than the cause of salvation, and why following Jesus demands everything while being worth everything.
This is the guiding point, the North Star we're pointing our kids, students, and new believers towards...
In this episode:
• Why definitions matter before methods
• A working definition of a disciple
• Grace, transformation, and purpose
• Matthew 9, Matthew 16, James 2, Titus 1
• Why discipleship is about progress, not perfection
Next Episode: Based on that definition: What is discipleship?#HolyHypocrites #Discipleship #GenAlpha
