61 – A Call for Radical Discipleship | Bill Scofield

Messiah Podcast

Yeshua called his followers to radical discipleship—a life lived entirely for the coming kingdom. His teachings equip us for the suffering and hardship we are destined to experience as we await that kingdom. For those from relatively affluent societies, this first-century Jewish model might seem archaic, but Yeshua’s apocalyptic worldview is still a foundational component of our faith. Bill Scofield joins us to talk about his church in Redding, California, which he planted with discipleship as its sole focus. Bill will be speaking at Tzadi Advance, an event for young adults aged 18–35, from January 2–6, 2025, in Fountain Run, KY.
