Truth is not always comforting for someone to hear - but that doesn’t mean it’s not important to share it! Rick Thomas founded Life Over Coffee, a ministry dedicated to providing real encouragement that follows Jesus’s model of calling people to repentance without affirming their sins. As a speaker, writer, and podcaster, Rick’s passion for helping others was born after a lifetime of challenges and obstacles, including an abusive alcoholic father and death of two brothers, drove him to the foot of the cross. He has since dedicated his life to helping people overcome challenges with biblical encouragement and wisdom. His ministry provides content like discussion forums, curriculum, and free books. Rick brings encouragement by urging Christians to do life together and build each other up.

TAKEAWAYS
Biblical counseling is a subset of discipleship
The words “stir up” literally mean to “irritate”
God is a biblical and holy “irritant” who forces you to examine your own heart and soul
When your heart and God’s Word are on the same page, that’s a biblical sweet spot

Eun Strawser, the co-vocational lead pastor of Ma Ke Alo o in Hawaii, says discipleship that is not centered and strong in the church is ultimately a worship problem. Eun says Christians who meditate regularly on the Word of God should know what good discipleship looks like, but many Christians simply don’t disciple others very often. What is discipleship? It’s a form of imitating Jesus Himself and striving to be more like Him in every way. A Christian leader’s primary role should be as an imitator of Christ, and they should be setting that example for their flock. Eun also discusses four “key buckets” you should see Christlike maturity in a true believer: character, theology, wisdom, and missional living. These are all areas that need good discipleship and wisdom.

TAKEAWAYS
Our character should grow to be more Christlike over time as believers
As believers are discipled in Jesus, they should also embrace teachings that mirror His word rather than contradict it
Our self-centered society tends to think about receiving first and giving second and shifted as a culture from community living to individualism
The first part of discipleship is very clearly about imitating Christ
