Justin season four here we are. Here we are we're back ready for it better than ever. How was your smer? What was the best part of your smer? Oh wow you know Tony every smer. I think smer is going to be kind of a relaxing time right? I picture sitting around enjoying the weather drinking some lemonade I don't know playing in the back with the kids.
It sounds awesome but it is never that way because we're always kind of running around with sports and everything but it's fun right? So my son played a lot of baseball this smer. Really enjoyed that. went on vacation to Savannah Georgia and Tybee Island. That was fun. So it really was just doing doing all the smery things with the family.
Really enjoyed it. How about you? What were you up to this smer? We took a little vacay down to 30A in the Florida Panhandle. played a lot of baseball. Watched my boys play a lot of baseball. And I would say kind of the unexpected surprise of the smer has been the 2023 Cincinnati Reds. Which have just kind of really they have really been a delight this smer.
They have for sure. And surprisingly so which is even more fun. Well I think that's what makes it so much fun and really you know there's a hope that maybe this fall we might even get to see a post season run. It's not looking great but with a little help in the bullpen we'll get there. What are you most looking forward to this fall?
This fall just getting back to the podcast right? So it's not felt like normal life without. Hanging out with you and getting these podcasts in every week or a couple of weeks however however often we get to do them but getting back to it I'm really excited about how about you? Dang me too. That was my answer.
I was completely going to use that is getting back what listeners what you don't know is that Justin and I when we are in podcast season We see each other twice a week sometimes and over our zoom kind of thing that we use. And between that and our normal disciple making meetings like it's just my Justin cup has felt a little empty and now it feels like just a little pour right back into it.
Why don't why don't you tell everybody where we're going this season before I get sentimental? Yeah. All right. So season four we are really excited about season four. So we're sticking with the same rhythm we had last year. So this is a trailer episode but we're going to start releasing right after Labor Day and then continue the season every other week through Memorial Day.
And we have some really exciting things for you guys this season. we have a few different series that we're working on. So one that's going to be focused on a disciple making pathway and how to develop that for your church. For those of you who are pastors or church staff that's going to be I think really helpful and interesting to you.
we're gonna be doing a series on Jesus's way of making disciples. So how did he do it in the context and culture in which he lived? And so there's going to be quite a bit of history quite a bit of you know things that have come out of academic research that we're excited to share with you guys.
some really practical stuff around how do you find someone to disciple? And also I'm going to share the bicycle illustration. With you that will be a series as well. So really excited about all those things. There's lots of other topics. We're not going to list them all out and then we'll be thrown in some bonus episodes along the way as well.
So Tony I'm really looking forward to this season. Yeah. I'm I think that . every year that we do this you and I have gotten a little bit better at our connection at the way that we do it. But I really like the vision for this year's episodes. I think I actually think if you're committed disciple maker you're going to want to make sure that you share this with your church with your people that you're pouring into and the people that you want to pour into.
And again our goal has always been the same which is to create resources for disciple makers all over the world. Yeah that's absolutely right. If you are just joining us maybe you is your first episode listening. Maybe somebody has referred you to this podcast. We really encourage you to go back through the other seasons as well because we try not to repeat a lot of episodes a lot of topics.
Some will come up consistently just because they're so central to disciple making but. If you're a new disciple maker if you're an established disciple maker there are dozens and dozens of podcast episodes that are going to be highly focused on things that you're probably thinking about and working through as a disciple maker.
So just as much just as much as we want you to be on the journey with us. on season four. We also want you to go back and enjoy the seasons that we've already that we've already done. So guys like we said this is a trailer episode so it's short sweet just to kind of wet your appetite for what God's going to do in season four of this podcast.
We want you to know that we're praying for you and your ability to make disciples who can make disciples.
