The Daily Discipleship Podcast
Each installment of Daily Discipleship is taught by Dr. Jim Culbertson, lead pastor of Veracity Chapel in Morrill, Maine and Vice President of Advancement at New England Bible College and Seminary. This podcast is meant to help people to learn and to live as followers of Jesus. From simple explanation of the Bible verse-by-verse to honest commentary on contemporary issues, Daily Discipleship will provide clarity on the meaning of God’s Word, the Bible, and how it applies to daily life. 1 John 2:6 says, ”Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.” We don’t claim to be perfect - we need Jesus everyday - and we don’t claim to have all the answers - God and His ways are much too vast for that!

Does the way we come together reflect Christ, or are we individualistic, seeking our glory rather than God's glory? Is there respect and consideration given for others? We are called to lift and exalt Christ, not self, so why all the church divisions, even over petty issues?
