A discipleship podcast for beginners, doubters, confused and long term established Christians. In this podcast we talk about everything related to growing in faith but in a really simple way. We are honest with our struggles, learn from some wise people and hit some brick walls… a little bit like the original disciples. Cris Rogers is a church leader in East London and has been described as a Urban Practical Theologian. wearemakingdisciples.com
294. Be More Yeast
In Matthew 13, Jesus describes the Kingdom of Heaven as yeast, something small that works its way through the whole batch of dough. But what does it mean for us to be yeast today? In this episode, I explore how mission is not about creating more projects for churches to consume, but about getting into the life of our communities, changing the culture from within and enabling something much bigger to grow. Perhaps our calling is not simply to build the Kingdom, but to become the yeast that helps it spread.

The Gospel of Imagination: Creativity, Culture and Discipleship with Caleb WoodbridgeIn this episode, Cris talks with Caleb Woodbridge about the relationship between creativity, imagination and faith, and how culture can become a space in which the gospel comes alive. Together, they explore how storytelling, creative expression and cultural engagement can open up new ways of communicating the Christian faith, helping people encounter the story of salvation and discover the person of Jesus.
Drawing on Caleb’s work in cultural apologetics and creative evangelism, the conversation explores how imagination can become a powerful tool for discipleship, enabling us to engage with the stories of our culture while discovering how they connect with the greater story of God.

292. Is Jesus Coming Back Soon? War, Chaos and the Hope of His Return
In this episode Cris will ask whether Jesus really is coming back soon. With wars, conflict and chaos across the world, are we seeing the signs of the end times?Cris will explore what Jesus actually said about his return, look at biblical prophecy and consider the danger of trying to predict dates and times. He will also look at some of the people throughout history who have confidently predicted Christ’s return, only to be proved wrong.This is a balanced but prophetic look at the return of Jesus, asking not simply “Is he coming soon?” but “How should we live if he is?”
