The Family Disciple Me Podcast // Discipleship Starts With a Conversation

Ever watched a child wear a bright smile that doesn’t match what’s going on inside? We’ve been there too. This conversation centers on Psalm 139:1–6 and the freeing truth that "I Am Completely Known." Yes, God knows us completely—our thoughts, habits, words, and worries—yet delights in us. We share the comfort and awe that comes with being fully seen, then move from inspiration to practice with simple ways to make identity talk a daily rhythm. Hosts Tosha Williams and Wendy Hickox open the S...

A tiny voice in the back seat of a car asks for prayer, and a lifelong journey with Jesus begins. Host Tosha Williams opens with a vivid childhood memory to show how clearly a child can grasp the gospel—and how a simple tool, "The Five Finger Gospel," can help anyone understand and respond to Jesus. Each finger holds a truth you can carry anywhere: Jesus sees you, Jesus loves you, Jesus died for you, Jesus knows you, and Jesus chose you. It’s tactile, memorable, and grounded in Scripture, mak...

The middle finger often gets a bad rap in our culture, and for good reason. It’s used to express anger, disrespect, and even hate. But what if we could redeem it? In this episode of "The Five Finger Gospel," we take what’s often seen as negative and reframe it as a powerful symbol of love: our tallest finger reminds us of the tall, tall cross where Jesus died for us. What looked like a moment of defeat became the foundation of our hope. Romans 5:8 declares, “While we were still sinners, Chris...

A tiny pinky can carry a giant truth: Jesus sees you. We kick off our "Five Finger Gospel" conversations by anchoring a child’s faith—and our own—by starting with the smallest finger to remember that no one is too small or too little to be significant to God. We wiggle our pinky finger to remind us: "Jesus Sees Me!" Host Tosha Williams shares a tender childhood memory of an elderly man with a weekly pack of chocolate-covered raisins and how that small act taught her the dignity of bein...

Ever notice how we can gush about a great meal or a new show, yet freeze when it’s time to talk about Jesus? We open that tension with a straight path forward: boldness doesn’t start with a megaphone, it starts with presence. Walking through Acts 4, we sit with Peter and John as they heal a man, face arrest, and announce the line that still shakes timid hearts today: we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard. We share how this kind of courage grows from a simple, repeatable r...

Moving beyond the world of "oughts" and "shoulds," we discover the transformative power of saying "I will" to God. The determination to fulfill our sacred pledges stands at the heart of authentic faith, creating a testimony that impacts not just our lives, but those around us. The Psalmist declares, "I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people" (Psalm 116:17-18), showing us that our commitments aren't meant to be private matters, but powerful witnesses. Throughout Sc...

Have you ever questioned your purpose or wondered why you're here? You're not alone. For centuries, people have searched for meaning in their work, relationships, and achievements—yet many still struggle to understand their reason for being. Psalm 138:8 offers a powerful perspective: "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me." This isn't wishful thinking but a promise anchored in God's steadfast love. As King David declared, God doesn't abandon the work of His hands—He has established a purp...

What do you cling to when life feels like it's spiraling out of control? The answer should be God's promises. Tosha Williams from Family Disciple Me explores how Scripture becomes our anchor during life's storms through the "Life Verses" series, focusing on Psalm 145:13. This verse reveals two powerful truths: God's kingdom is eternal, and He is completely trustworthy in every promise He makes. With biblical scholars estimating between 3,500-7,500 divine promises throughout Scripture, belie...
