About this conversation

Synod 2026 just wrapped. And for the first time in a long time, something felt different. Pastor Scott was on the floor. He chaired an advisory committee, gave a speech, and watched the CRC adopt a 3-year action plan for church planting. This week he breaks down what happened, what it meant, and what has to come next. What we get into: → Why Synod 2026 actually feels like a turning point → The speech that stopped the room: "I am done being cynical" → Scott's own floor speech — gospel-sized, imperfect action → The 3-year church planting plan and what it's really asking of people → Why 222Disciple just crossed 2,000 disciples made → What classes, pastors, staff, and laypeople should do right now → The two things the CRC has to let go of: cynicism and perfectionism The vote happened. Now comes the hard part. - 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.
