For the Harvest Podcast - Episode 14 - What Did Jesus Do?
In this episode of the For the Harvest podcast, John, Paul, and David Worcester continue their deep dive into the first four chapters of the Gospel of John. Fresh off a training trip to India where they witnessed a movement grow by 8,000 churches in just two years, the team explores the "brilliant wisdom" behind Jesus’ early ministry strategies.
The discussion focuses on the transition from John the Baptist’s ministry to Jesus’ intentional recruitment of His first disciples. The team breaks down the concept of Oikos Evangelism—reaching people through natural relational networks—and how Jesus modeled this by moving from family members to friends. They also examine the "Gospel Appointment" with Nicodemus, highlighting the importance of two-way conversations and the "MAWL" (Model, Assist, Watch, Leave) training method.
Whether you are a church planter or a believer looking to share your faith, this episode provides a biblical roadmap for starting movements that prioritize multiplication over mere addition.
