  CityChurch Podcast | Rooted Before You Grow

  Oct 2, 202613 minS7

  In this episode of the City Church podcast, Mark and Steve continue their series on individual discipleship by exploring the Chinese bamboo tree as a picture of how discipleship develops over time. They discuss Jesus’ Great Commission to make disciples and emphasize that discipleship is not simply about gaining knowledge, drawing crowds, or making converts, but about life transformation and becoming apprentices of Jesus who make other disciples. Using the bamboo tree as an illustration, they explain how growth can happen beneath the surface for years as roots are developed before visible growth appears. Mark and Steve encourage listeners to remain rooted in Christ, obey His words, invest in relationships, and trust God through seasons when growth may not be immediately visible. They also challenge believers to consider who they are investing in and to embrace the time and consistency required to make disciples.

  CityChurch Podcast | Formed By Following Jesus

  Sep 25, 202620 minS7

  In this episode of the City Church podcast, Mark and Steve explore spiritual formation and what it means to follow Jesus as a disciple. They explain that Jesus’ call to “follow me” is not primarily about self-improvement, but about allowing Him to form, shape, and develop us into His image. The conversation examines three movements of discipleship modeled by Jesus: coming to Him, being exposed to His life and ministry, and being entrusted to go and do what He has taught us. Mark and Steve discuss how formation happens through surrender, trust, relationship, and a willingness to learn through both success and failure. They also emphasize that discipleship cannot happen in isolation, because Jesus formed His disciples by doing life with them and inviting them into relationship. The episode closes by encouraging listeners to consider who they are spending time with Jesus, who is speaking truth into their lives, and who they are helping to grow as disciples.

  Episode #1

  Making Room For Prophecy

  Sep 16, 202628 minS7

  In this episode of the City Church podcast, Mark and Steve discuss making room for the gift of prophecy in a way that honors God, aligns with Scripture, and strengthens the church. They explain that biblical prophecy is not fortune telling, but a way of sharing the heart, revelation, and desired will of God, with Jesus always being glorified and Scripture remaining the final authority. They explore the importance of eagerly desiring spiritual gifts while also maintaining order, humility, accountability, and healthy boundaries. Mark and Steve discuss how prophecy should strengthen, encourage, and comfort people, why prophetic words need to be tested, and the role of church elders in creating safe environments for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to operate. They also encourage believers to grow in prophecy through life groups, prayer meetings, and other settings where people can learn to share words of life, courage, comfort, and strengthening with one another. The conversation closes with an invitation to keep studying Scripture, keep growing, and find the “radical middle” where Jesus is at the center, the Word of God is the final authority, and prophecy is practiced with integrity and accountability.

  CityChurch Podcast | Freedom From Abuse | Eddie Peterson

  Sep 11, 202620 minS6

  In this message from the Freedom Conference, Eddie shares his powerful testimony of abuse, rejection, shame, and finding freedom in Jesus. Eddie discusses the different forms abuse can take and how abuse can affect a person’s dignity, identity, and sense of control. He shares his own experience of being adopted in Germany, experiencing childhood sexual abuse, and carrying shame and feelings of rejection for years. Eddie opens up about a suicide attempt at age 20 and how, through sharing his story and receiving Christian counseling, he began to recognize that there was more to his life than what had happened to him. He explains how Jesus brought healing as he faced painful memories and learned that he was not defined by his abuse, shame, or past. Throughout the message, Eddie emphasizes that what happened to us does not have to define who we are, that what was done to us was not our fault, and that Jesus has a better plan. He closes by declaring that he is walking in freedom and praying for others to experience freedom, healing, forgiveness, and restoration through Jesus.
