Luke 23:1-39

How real is heaven to you? Even as believers, is heaven just a concept that we read or study in the Word rather than a real, ultimate destination? We read about joy and hope God infuses within us towards, not only heaven, but also to carry us through the ups and downs of this life. Do we truly LIVE this reality out for others to see? Pastor Brian Brodersen considers such truths in a discussion with author, Randy Alcorn. Having written over fifty books, pastored a church at one time and now directing the non-profit, Eternal Perspective Ministries, Randy shares the need to remember that true happiness and hope in heaven is a real thing that matters.

In today’s episode of CGN Voices, Pastor Jeff Gipe talks with book coach and ghostwriter, Mary Pero. They discuss what a book coach is and does, the process of writing and publishing a book, as well as provide some tips on how to get started if you’re thinking about writing a book yourself. Mary offers encouragement to those of us who don’t really feel like writers, and helps us shift our mindset about why we write books, the power of our personal story, and how to think about marketing.Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life https://a.co/d/3rWCWaHOn Writing: A Memoir of the Craft (A Memoir of the Craft (Reissue)) https://a.co/d/40wJjDPBefore and After the Book Deal: A Writer's Guide to Finishing, Publishing, Promoting, and Surviving Your First Book https://a.co/d/4wBIQmGwww.marypero.comOnline course

The Barnabas Method has silently transformed over 500 men's lives across decades, and now this powerful discipleship process is available to every church leader seeking authentic spiritual formation for the men they shepherd.

What's the difference between knowing biblical information and becoming like Christ? According to Pastor Dale Lewis, most discipleship approaches focus too heavily on knowledge acquisition while neglecting the transformational aspects of spiritual growth. 

”Barnabas is about becoming the right person, not just having the right answers,” Lewis explains, drawing from his decades of experience implementing this 13-week process.

The genius of the Barnabas Method lies in its radical relationality. Built on what Lewis calls ”the three Ts” – teachability, transparency, and transference – this approach creates safe spaces for men to admit they don't know everything, share vulnerably about their struggles, and commit to passing what they learn to others. The process unfolds through weekly meetings where men practice focused listening, report on dates with their wives, tackle biblical concepts like new covenant living, and hold one another accountable with remarkable specificity.

Perhaps most counterintuitive is the requirement that the pastor or leader position themselves as a fellow learner rather than an expert who has ”arrived.” This vulnerability creates the conditions for authentic community where true transformation can occur. ”If you can't learn from another man,” Lewis warns, ”that's saying something about how much you're actually going to learn from the Holy Spirit.”

The curriculum traces its origins through a discipleship lineage including Ray Stedman, Harry Ironside, and J. Vernon McGee, but has been refined and streamlined into a reproducible process any church can implement. After completing the 13 weeks, participants are encouraged to begin discipling others, creating exponential multiplication that transforms not just individual men but entire church cultures.

Ready to move beyond programs to transformation? Download the free Barnabas curriculum in any of 103 languages at ScriptureSupply.com and join the growing movement of churches discovering that discipleship isn't about filling positions—it's about forming men who increasingly reflect Christ.

Again, to access the curriculum, go to scripturesupply.com, then navigate to Teachings, then to Special Studies, then to Barnabas. It’s all there.
