About this conversation

What does a pastor in a giant sleeping bag vest, Catholic incense, and a guy eating a torn Bible page have in common? They all sparked one of our most honest conversations about what actually matters in church. In this episode of the Disciple Standard Podcast, we react to some viral ministry clips — and end up somewhere we didn't expect: a deep conversation about the gospel, what it means to speak to the heart, and what makes a church truly thrive. We cover: → Does a pastor's dress code matter — or distract? → A visit to a Catholic wedding Mass and what genuinely surprised us → A church in Nampa, Idaho that's changing lives — and why → What it actually means to "internalize" God's Word (and what it doesn't mean) → Is mockery ever okay for Christian leaders? Whether you're a pastor, church leader, or someone trying to grow in your faith — this one's worth the full listen. - 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.
