About this episode

Sean Azzaro discusses the importance of making disciples rather than just attracting crowds during Easter.

As Easter is this weekend, Sean explains that the church’s goal isn’t crowds but making disciples—passionate followers of Jesus who learn Scripture and obey it—often through intentional, relational, Biblical community groups with accountability and measurable habits like daily time in the Word and prayer. He discusses the need for pastors to have peer community, warns about ego on stage, affirms women’s role in discipleship, and emphasizes discipling within marriage and family while equipping all believers to disciple others. 00:00 Show Intro and Banter 00:44 Song Credits and Spotify Plug 01:20 Easter Message Preview 02:16 Why Resurrection Matters 03:04 Service Times and Invitation 04:04 Vacation and Pastor Life 05:23 Community Over Pedestals 07:13 Easter Crowds vs Disciples 07:59 What Discipleship Means 09:00 Growing Disciples Who Disciple 12:13 Great Commission and Real Goal 13:28 Classes Lead to Obedience 14:15 Accountability in Life Groups 15:48 Life on Life Discipleship 17:56 Intentional Community Beyond Meetings 20:03 Measuring Spiritual Growth 22:25 Women and Discipleship 23:46 Discipleship at Home 24:52 State of Church Discipleship 27:06 Get Involved at River City 28:13…
