A personal update from Travis Boyette.

Mere Discipleship is stepping into a new season. Travis shares what has been on his heart, why he is taking a intentional pause from weekly recording, and what is coming next — including the announcement of Mere Discipleship Devotional Volume 1 and the launch of Mere Inklings Publishing.

This one is unscripted and personal. Just Travis and a tree and something genuine to say to the community that has meant everything to him.

This is not goodbye. It is what comes before something new.

In 1912 the Titanic sank in under three hours. Everything the passengers trusted to be solid and permanent disappeared beneath the surface. But above the chaos — unchanged and unmoved by everything happening below — the stars were out. The North Star exactly where it had always been.

That is immutability. God never changes. Not in His nature. Not in His character. Not in His promises. Not in His love for you.

In this Thursday special we dive deep into what it actually means that God is the same yesterday today and forever. Why the immutability of God is the foundation everything else gets built on. And why your feelings about God changing does not mean God has changed.

He is true north. And He has never moved.

Theology is not just for scholars. It is the most practical thing a follower of Jesus can pursue.

In this episode Travis answers what theology and doctrine actually are, why what you believe about God shapes every decision you make, and how sitting with someone over coffee asking honest questions is one of the most legitimate forms of theological formation there is.

Plus the most important thing about John 8:32 — the truth will set you free — is what comes right before it in verse 31. And most people have never read both verses together as the complete sentence Jesus actually spoke.
