Church discipline can sound harsh in a culture that avoids confrontation and idolizes autonomy. But Scripture paints it as a loving correction meant to protect the church and restore the sinner. In this episode, we talk about what church discipline really is, why it matters, and how it reflects the heart of Christ. We also discuss what happens when churches avoid it altogether—and the damage that follows.

Luis Gallardo, pastor of Núcleo Church in Monterrey, Mexico, shares his powerful story of grief, faith, and calling. After losing his mother just months before his wedding and facing repeated closed doors to seminary, Luis found clarity—not through big platforms, but through deep relationships and trust in God's timing.

In this special episode, Luis and Natan talk about the challenges of planting a church, the idols of work and family in Monterrey, and how gospel-centered community is drawing both believers and seekers.

Rodrigo Puebla grew up in a culturally Catholic home in Monterrey, Mexico—disciplined, moral, and devout, but missing the heart of the gospel. It wasn’t until a book posed the unsettling question—“Would you want heaven without Jesus?”—that Rodrigo realized he didn’t truly know Christ.

That moment of conviction led him to seminary, and eventually to Campus Outreach, where he now leads a thriving evangelistic ministry at one of Mexico’s most prestigious universities.

Membership can feel like a formality in a world full of subscriptions and casual commitments. But Scripture shows us it’s about clarity, not control—real people, real promises, real accountability. Belonging to a local church shapes how we love, serve, and endure in the faith. It’s not about having your name on a list; it’s about living out your discipleship with a specific people. Church isn’t just a place you go—it’s a people you commit to.

Motherhood and marriage are both beautiful gifts—and heavy callings. In this conversation, Claudia Doran opens her heart about the sacred weight of parenting, the real work of a Christ-centered marriage, and the quiet refining that comes with both.

There’s a temptation in modern culture to chase ease or escape the pressure, but Claudia reminds us that the gospel meets us in the mundane. Diapers and disagreements. Dishes and discipline.

These moments aren’t just noise—they’re an altar.

Preaching isn’t background noise. It’s not content to catch when it’s convenient or something to critique for fun. The preaching of God’s word is a live moment of transformation, where the Lord speaks and His people listen.

In this conversation, we talk about how to really listen to sermons—how to engage with attention, expectation, and humility. This episode is full of practical encouragements and a call to treat the preaching of God’s word as central to the life of the church and the formation of the soul.

ome men wake up with a fire in their gut to preach the Word. Others get told by someone else, “You should think about being a pastor.” Then they spend months—maybe years—trying to make sense of that comment.

This episode is for the guy trying to figure out what God is doing with his desire, and for the church that’s been given the responsibility to recognize and raise up shepherds. We talk about what it means to aspire to ministry, how that desire gets tested, and why no one should walk this road alone.The calling to pastoral ministry isn’t something you self-assign.

It’s something God confirms through the local church, through character, and through the willingness to do the slow, often unseen work of caring for people’s souls.

"How do I know if I’m in God’s will?"

It's one of the most common questions among believers—and one of the most misunderstood.

We don’t get color-by-number directions in Scripture. There’s no verse for which college to attend, which job to take, or who to marry. But that doesn’t mean God has left us guessing.
