About

Conversations the church can’t afford to avoid.

Inside the Disciple Standard podcast studio

Scott Vander Ploeg & Aaron Mamuyac

Hosted by pastors Aaron Mamuyac and Scott Vander Ploeg from Sunlight Community Church, this show is part rallying cry, part discipleship manual, and part therapy session for believers who are hungry for something real.

The modern church is facing a discipleship crisis. Despite an abundance of programs, sermons, and Christian content, many believers remain spiritually underdeveloped, relationally isolated, and missionally disengaged.

We believe the way forward is not louder hype or flashier services—but deeper, more honest conversations about what it really means to follow Jesus in today’s world.
