  • Impartation: How Jesus Made Disciples Up Close

    Impartation: How Jesus Made Disciples Up Close
    13 Oct 2026
    Brett Maddocks, Allen Cason, and Jim Morrow continue their series on disciple-making by focusing on impartation from Robert Coleman’s The Master Plan of Evangelism. They argue that Jesus did not form disciples through information alone, but by living closely with them and modeling a whole way of life. The conversation also tackles a major practical question: how can pastors and lay people impart faith faithfully without pretending to have it all together? Key topics In this episode, Brett Maddocks frames impartation as Jesus giving his life to his disciples, not just his teaching.Allen Cason emphasizes that disciple-making cannot happen from a distance and that people learn by being with us, not just hearing us.Jim Morrow compares disciple-making to residency training, noting that information alone is never enough without lived demonstration.The hosts discuss 2 Timothy 3:10 and Paul’s call for Timothy to follow his teaching and way of life, not just his theology.They explore the balance of vulnerability in ministry, saying leaders should not present only their best selves, but also should not “bleed on people.”The group stresses that Jesus must remain the hero in any vulnerable story shared in discipleship or preaching.They distinguish between sharing struggles and showing how faith shapes the way those struggles are lived through.The conversation highlights several Gospel scenes as examples of impartation, including the feeding of the 5,000, the Gethsemane prayer, the calling to watch and pray, and Jesus responding to opposition.Brett offers four practical areas of impartation: abiding, character, ministry, and mission.Allen and Jim underline that disciple-making must include a plan, but the Holy Spirit must remain the main partner in the process.The hosts encourage listeners that they do not need to be experts to begin discipling, only willing, intentional, and a few steps ahead.

  • Take Up Your Cross: The Daily Call to Consecration

    Take Up Your Cross: The Daily Call to Consecration
    29 Sep 2026

    Cheap grace doesn't make disciples. Obedience does.

    In this episode of the Podechesis Podcast, Brett Maddocks, Allen Cason, and Jim Morrow continue to unpack Robert Coleman’s The Master Plan of Evangelism and press into the uncomfortable but freeing truth that discipleship is not about information alone—it’s about surrender, daily obedience, and a life transformed by Jesus’ lordship. You’ll discover:

    • why “If you love me, keep my commands” is more than a verse you can quote
    • how John 8, Romans 6, Luke 9, Deuteronomy 6, and Ephesians 1 all shape a theology of obedience
    • the difference between cheap grace and costly grace in Bonhoeffer’s terms
    • why consecration is a daily practice, not a one-time decision
    • how accountability, encouragement, covenant, and holy conferencing help disciples actually grow

    Jim brings a Wesleyan lens to sanctification and the role of accountable Christian community. Allen shares how personal worship, solitude, silence, and hearing the Father’s voice shape daily surrender. Brett connects the dots with Scripture, Bonhoeffer, and the practical challenge of living as a disciple maker without becoming legalistic or controlling. This episode is a needed reminder that Jesus does not call us to admire him from a distance. He calls us to follow, to cling to his teaching, to be shaped by his Spirit, and to live as people who are being made new from the inside out. We hope this discussion helps you move from passive belief to active, Spirit-empowered discipleship.

  • Presence Is the Curriculum: How Jesus Made Disciples

    Presence Is the Curriculum: How Jesus Made Disciples
    14 Sep 2026

    In this episode, Allen, Jim, and Brett explore Robert Coleman’s (Master Plan of Evangelism) ‘association’ principle: Jesus trained his followers primarily by being with them. They discuss how presence, relationship, and everyday life together—meals, regular meetings, vulnerability, and messy relationships—produce character and transformation more than curriculum alone.

    Practical tips include meeting frequently, sharing meals, leaders being apprentices, personal worship, and inviting the Holy Spirit into real-life moments as the means of true disciple-making.
