So many of us grew up hearing, “Just believe in Jesus and you’re good.” But is that all there is? In this episode, we explore why following Jesus is the first step in our faith journey—not the last. Together, we dive into:
• Why following Jesus is more than head knowledge—it’s a real relationship.
• The process of sanctification (becoming more like Christ).
• The role of intentionality and spiritual disciplines in daily life.
• How community helps us grow and stay rooted in faith.
• Encouragement for parents raising children to follow Jesus.

👉 Whether you’re a child, teen, parent, or adult, this conversation will help you see that faith isn’t a one-time decision but a lifelong journey with Christ.

Welcome to Everyday Sent! Host Dave Kruse sits down with Dr. Andy Brown (Senior Pastor, First Baptist) to unpack our church’s mission: Live Sent — following Jesus and inviting others to come along (John 20:21). Not a program. Not a checklist. A living, daily relationship with Jesus that overflows into community and invitation.

In this episode you’ll hear about:
• Why our mission is rooted in John 20:21 (the post-resurrection sending of Jesus)
• What “following Jesus” looks like in real life
• How invitation ≠ pressure: evangelism as shared life in community
• Mission vs. vision: a stable calling with flexible next steps
• Simple first steps (read the Gospel of John together, find your people, serve locally)

Key Scriptures: John 20:21 • Luke 24 • Matthew 28:18–20 • “In Christ” (Paul’s theme)
