005: Stories of Obedience and Mission
We don’t just need more content about Jesus—we need to do what Jesus did. In this episode of Conversations on Movemental Christianity, Lindsey Harwood, Brian Johnson, and Rich Robinson contrast knowledge-focused models with obedience-based, apprenticeship discipleship that multiplies in everyday life.
They explore:
From Content to Commitment — How simple “I will” steps + gentle accountability create momentum.
Stories from the Field —
Andy: a Proverbs 31 “I will” led to a hiring movement for adults with disabilities.
Rick & Alice: “Coffee & Prayer” in parks → meals, DBS, baptisms, microchurches.
Casey: a microchurch in a day program for adults with disabilities.
UK snapshots: speed bumps that built neighborhood trust; “bingo & cake” as contextual good news; litter picks with the community, not just for it.
Culture Shifts — Expectation (hear & obey), Apprenticeship (on-the-shoulder learning), Celebration (progress over perfection).
Finding Your Lane — Discern good news/bad news in your neighborhood or network; align passion, gifting, and story.
Try this this week:
Discern — Ask, Jesus, what are You saying? Then write one clear I will statement.
Share — Tell a trusted friend; invite prayer and follow-up.
Do — Take the step. Celebrate progress, not just outcomes.
