Pete expands on the third quality of a church culture that deeply changes lives: beneath-the-surface discipleship. In a church culture that deeply changes lives, no one assumes people are maturing on the basis of activities such as church attendance, small group involvement, and serving. Instead, they understand maturity is the fruit of the slow, hard work of following the crucified Jesus.

0:00.0 | Hi, my name is Pete Scuzaro. I want to welcome you today to the emotionally healthy leader podcast. |
0:07.0 | And today's topic is six marks of a church culture that deeply changes lives, part three. |
0:14.0 | And the theme is, beneath the surface, discipleship. Now, my goal here in this podcast today in particular is to challenge you personally in your walk with Jesus because every one of us as leaders were first followers of Jesus ourselves listening to his voice and following him. |
0:29.6 | My second goal is really to offer you a vision through this series on marks of a church culture that deeply changes lives, to give you |
0:38.2 | a vision of a preferable future to pull you forward, an actual picture of what I believe, |
0:45.3 | a church, some marks that are needed in the church in a 21st century and are a rapidly changing |
0:50.4 | world. |

1:05.7 | the leader, so goes the church. So what I am sharing with you in this little short series of six marks of a church |

1:23.0 | that slowing down, that is our being with Jesus, out of which we do, life, is critical. |
1:30.7 | And we want to create a culture where people are developing their own relationship with Jesus, |
1:36.6 | not living off other people's spirituality, that we're actually moving beyond cultural Christianity |
1:41.7 | and programs or being religious, |
1:44.3 | but that folks are actually seeking Jesus. |
1:49.3 | Psalm 1274, like David wrote, |
1:52.0 | one thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek, |
1:55.0 | that I may dwell on the house of the Lord all the days of my life, |
1:57.6 | to gaze upon his beauty and to seek him in his temple. |
