The word “Christian” literally means “little Christ,” so if you’re a Christian, people should be able see the character of Jesus in you.
This is a high calling that—if we’re being honest—we get wrong much of the time. The question is: how do you grow in becoming like Jesus?
Podcast hosts Luke & Janelle Heirendt and Jake Silvera share honestly about their own failures and successes in seeking to live out the Jesus way of life in a conversation designed to help you know Jesus more deeply and follow Him more faithfully.
Join us as we continue our conversation about disagreeing well and dive in to the topic of listening!

The Art of Disagreeing Well
It feels as if we're living in a time when people have lost the ability to discuss something, disagree about it, and still walk away as friends. How can we, as followers of Jesus, relearn the lost art of disagreeing well?
Furthermore, what does it look like to be convince-able but not gullible? Join hosts Jake Silvera and Luke and Janelle Heirendt for this important conversation.

Discipleship, Pride and playing Matchmaker (Faith & Film #6)
In this final episode of our Faith and Film series (and our second discussing Emma) Practically Christian hosts Luke and Janelle Heirendt and Jake Silvera explore the deeper spiritual themes of pride, discipleship, and the illusion of control. Emma Woodhouse may be charming and clever, but her need to orchestrate other people’s lives reveals a problem many of us share: we trust our plans more than God’s.
Why do we struggle to see our own faults clearly? What does healthy discipleship look like when you're mentoring someone with less experience or faith maturity? And when—if ever—is it okay to play matchmaker?
Pride, Repentance & Self-Awareness – Why growth begins with seeing ourselves clearly
Mentoring Without Controlling – The difference between guiding someone and playing God
Playing Matchmaker – The illusion of control and the freedom of trusting God’s plan
We close with a fun question: Have you ever set someone up on a date—and how did it go?
Tune in for practical theology, relatable laughs, and an honest look at what Austen’s classic has to teach us about spiritual growth and letting go.
