Leading the Church Post Crisis May 19, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of the Saturate Podcast, Duke Revard talks with Dawson Jones about leading the church post-crisis. When things go wrong, people quickly become disoriented. Leaders are responsible to gain clarity and to reorient people into a new reality. Dawson Jones has been tasked with just that after the tragic death of the Lead Pastor of Soma Tacoma. We talk through God’s faithfulness in crisis, the surprising way people rise up to help, and how suffering refines us to be more committed to God and one another.

Discovering Distorted Images of God in Discipleship Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of the Saturate Podcast, Duke Revard talks with Nathan Wagnon about discovering our distorted images of God and the gift of reforming people’s view of God. Discipleship is about communing with the living God and participating in His Kingdom, but the over-correction to intellectual resistance has led many to abandon the experiential reality of communing with God, for right thoughts about God. We hope this episode helps you consider how God is inviting you to see and experience Him more truly and fully.

Women’s Ministry as Women’s Discipleship Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of the Saturate Podcast, Duke Revard talks with Amy Lathrop and Alison Martin about the important topic of women’s ministry as women’s discipleship. If we are to see Gospel Saturation, it will require us to mobilize the entire church, which certainly includes women. If you’ve experienced women’s ministry as theology-lite or overly simply content or if you just have a suspicion that there is more for women on Jesus’ mission, this episode is for you.

Training Elders in a Church of Missional Communities Jan 20, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of the Saturate Podcast, Duke Revard and Jeff Vanderstelt discuss developing elders in a church of missional communities. As go the leaders, so goes the church. This is no less true in a church of missional communities. Jeff and Duke answer the question, how do we ensure elders are qualified, equipped, and effective to lead the church? We hope this conversation gives you at least one next step to establish or strengthen your elder development process.

10 Lessons in 10 Years of Soma Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of the Saturate Podcast, Duke Revard and Jeff Vanderstelt will be joined by Chris Gonzalez and Paul Dean. In 2020, we celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Soma Family of Churches and we want to pause and look back and discuss what we have learned. Our conversation today asks the question, “what did you believe 10 years ago that you believe even more now?” Some things we were convinced of 10 year ago, some we were surprised by, some weren’t even in our awareness. Family identity Discipleship requires significant relationships Story-formed Ministry is harder but for reasons you don’t understand We assumed Spiritual Formation Pew-sitters are found in any ecclesiology Leadership development matters Run the play but be flexible Team is better Our greatest failures are failures of faith, hope, and love
