Jesus Martinez had just finished opening for Coldplay in front of a massive stadium crowd. He had shared the Gospel from the stage and thought he might have found the purpose God had for his life. Instead, Jesus says he heard God ask, “What are you gonna do with your life now?” That moment began a journey from simply reaching people toward intentionally making disciples who can make disciples. Pasted text In this episode, Aaron Jennings and Jesus talk about multigenerational discipleship, learning to hear and obey God, why discipleship should not create dependence on a ministry leader, and why obedience often comes before having every detail figured out. Jesus also shares how that same conviction eventually took him and his wife to Pakistan, where they helped launch a sewing and discipleship school. He describes women being equipped with practical skills while also learning to make disciples and start simple churches within their own communities. Pasted text The larger challenge is simple: disciples hear Jesus, obey Jesus, and share Jesus. The goal is not to build something that depends forever on us. It is to pour deeply into people who can follow Jesus themselves and help others do the same. Pasted text KEY POINTS In this episode, Aaron and Jesus talk about: What multigenerational discipleship actually means Why making a convert is not the same as making a disciple who multiplies Jesus Martinez’s turning point after opening for Coldplay Moving from ministry centered around one leader toward dependence on Jesus Why listening to God requires creating space to actually listen The connection between hearing God and immediate obedience How Jesus and his wife became involved with Christians in Pakistan Building practical ministry that can continue without the foreign missionary CHAPTERS 00:00 – What Is Multigenerational Discipleship? 03:26 – Teaching Disciples to Make Disciples 06:16 – Why Ministry Should Multiply Beyond the Leader 09:14 – The Mission Behind Everything Jesus Does 10:21 – 21 Years of Following Jesus 11:27 – Opening for Coldplay Changed Everything 13:23 – “We’re Supposed to Be Missionaries” 15:27 – COVID, House Church, and Learning Through Failure 19:44 – Obedience Has to Become Experiential 23:00 – Learning to Hear God’s Voice 26:07 – “We Don’t Have a God-Speaking Problem” 29:44 – Every Christian Is a Minister of Reconciliation 33:05 – Don’t Copy Someone Else’s Ministry 35:48 – The God Story That Led to Pakistan 40:33 – Sewing, Discipleship, and Churches That Multiply 45:13 – Pour Deeply Into the Few SPONSORED BY SCALABILITY Healthy organizations grow by building better systems.
