Episode Synopsis

In this month’s Disciples Made Podcast, Jason Phelps and Brian Phipps explore what it means to live and lead like Jesus in an incarnational way. Instead of discipling from a distance, Jesus stepped into people’s real lives—up close, personal, and fully present.
In this episode, you’ll discover why proximity is the engine of transformation and how disciple-makers today can model the life of Jesus in practical, sustainable ways. This conversation also unpacks insights from Hugh Halter’s book, FLESH and offers clear next steps for those sensing a call to deeper leadership.
