Making Disciples with Rev Dr Cris Rogers

297. Am I a Saint Who Sins or a Sinner Who Is Trying to Become a Saint?

What does it mean to be a saint, and can we be saints while still struggling with sin? In this episode, Cris explores 1 John 3:1–3 and discovers how our identity as God’s children shapes who we are becoming, reminding us that we are saints because of who we are in Jesus, and we are still being transformed to become more like him.

296. Why the Incarnation, Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Matter

This week’s episode Cris explores why the incarnation, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus matter so much to us as Christians. These are not just four moments in the story of Jesus, they are the foundations of what we believe and how we live as disciples.

295. Discipleship and Dyslexia

This week’s episode Cris explores the relationship between discipleship and dyslexia, reflecting on his own experience and asking how churches can better support people who think, learn and process information differently. What happens when our approaches to teaching the Bible, running courses and helping people grow in faith rely heavily on reading and writing? Cris explores what we know about dyslexia, considers how it shapes the way people engage with Scripture and discipleship, and offers practical ways churches can create more accessible environments where everyone has the opportunity to grow as a follower of Jesus. Because making disciples means recognising that we do not all learn in the same way, and ensuring our churches make space for different ways of discovering, understanding and living out our faith.

294. Be More Yeast

In Matthew 13, Jesus describes the Kingdom of Heaven as yeast, something small that works its way through the whole batch of dough. But what does it mean for us to be yeast today? In this episode, I explore how mission is not about creating more projects for churches to consume, but about getting into the life of our communities, changing the culture from within and enabling something much bigger to grow. Perhaps our calling is not simply to build the Kingdom, but to become the yeast that helps it spread.

293. The Gospel of Imagination: Creativity, Culture and Discipleship with Caleb Woodbridge

In this episode, Cris talks with Caleb Woodbridge about the relationship between creativity, imagination and faith, and how culture can become a space in which the gospel comes alive. Together, they explore how storytelling, creative expression and cultural engagement can open up new ways of communicating the Christian faith, helping people encounter the story of salvation and discover the person of Jesus.

Drawing on Caleb’s work in cultural apologetics and creative evangelism, the conversation explores how imagination can become a powerful tool for discipleship, enabling us to engage with the stories of our culture while discovering how they connect with the greater story of God.
