    Episode 28 - I Don't Know Everything In The World
    Jan 15 2025
    OK, this might surprise some of you amazing podcast listeners, but I actually don't know everything in the world... BUT....in this episode I take some liberal guesses at some of the "we're the only discipleship school in the world..." type topics. Come have a listen and let me know if I'm right or not. In other news... there are some big announcements in this episode, but you'll have to stick with us to the end of the episode to find out.

    It's hard to sound genuine on the internet, but I'm genuinely thankful that you're listening and with us.

  • Episode 27 - JDS By The Numbers. A New Years Edition

    Episode 27 - JDS By The Numbers. A New Years Edition
    Dec 31 2024
    You know how the King of England gives royal speech every Christmas? And the President of the United States gives the State of Union every year? Well, this is nothing like that. Those things are professionally done and this, well, this is like everything else JDS, scattered and beautiful. But, I really genuinely hope this episode doesn't get lost in the shuffle of New Years and holidays because I really feel like there is some goodness here for all of us. In this episode we unpack the semester 1 staff and student survey of JDS and there is some interesting things to consider.

    As we close out 2024, I just want to say thank you for being with us. For journeying with us. For partnering with us. I don't talk into a mini micorphone so it feels like I'm not talking to myself, but I pretend I'm talking to you. Because I am excited about what we're trying to do here, and I want to share my excitement with you - because I love you.

    Happy New Year, friend.
    Dave and JDS.

    Hi friends, it's been a while since we last uploaded an episode. So here is a cool little update. This started out just being a short update but ended up having a few little nuggets of gold in it - if I do say so myself...I think you'll be encouraged by some of the answers to prayer and God stories in this.

    Thanks so much for being with us.

  • Episode 22 - Alcohol and Becoming a Man

    Episode 22 - Alcohol and Becoming a Man
    Sep 30 2024
    Jeremy was drinking at the bar one night and took a girl home. They ended up having a one night stand that led to her getting pregnant. But when he found out she was pregnant, he went and knocked on her door and said "we better get to know each other because we're going to be having a kid together." They've now been married for twelve years. God redeemed Jeremy's story, and continues to redeem his story.

    For many of us, alcohol is a slippery slope and something we have to face in our lives. Jeremy honestly and bluntly shares about his personal journey with alcohol and anxiety. He doesn't have it all figured out, but he boldly shares what God is leading him into in the frontier of marriage, work, fatherhood, and drinking beer.

    Jeremy is one of the most Canadian guys I know. You'll hear small-town Canada in this episode. I think some of it is funny, I hope you do too.

    Also - get an update from JDS week 3 as it's happening. This is a packed and exciting episode. It's an honour to have Jer share his story with us. Thanks so much for being with us. We love you.
