About this conversation

What is church discipline—and why do so many churches avoid talking about it? In this episode of The Disciple Standard Podcast, Aaron, Zach, and Seron tackle one of the most uncomfortable topics in Christianity: accountability inside the church. Is church discipline biblical? How should churches handle sin, moral failure, false teaching, or leaders who fall? What happens when someone repents? And why does modern culture struggle so much with correction and accountability? The conversation explores real-life examples, church leadership structures, restoration, forgiveness, and how the gospel shapes the way Christians respond to sin. Whether you've experienced church discipline firsthand, have questions about accountability in the church, or simply want to understand what Scripture teaches, this episode offers a thoughtful and practical discussion. 👇 Let us know in the comments: Have you ever seen church discipline done well? - Timestamps: - https://disciplestandard.com/ Support the Podcast - https://www.patreon.com/c/DiscipleStandardPodcast Visit our church - https://sunlightchurch.com/ Connect with us - https://multiply222.com

We’ve Been Reading the Psalms Wrong

Have modern Christians lost something in the way we read the Psalms? This week on The Disciple Standard Podcast, Scott takes us deep into his research on how the early church understood the Psalms—and why writers like Athanasius and Origen saw Jesus throughout the entire Psalter. The conversation explores Psalm 78, the parables of Jesus, prayer, worship, and the surprising idea that the Psalms don't simply tell us about Jesus—they may actually teach us to pray with Jesus.
