What does it take to make disciples in a world shaped by therapy culture, shifting values, and cultural Christianity?

In this episode of Group Answers Show, host Brian Daniel welcomes back Pastor Dean Inserra from City Church in Tallahassee, Florida, for a timely and thought-provoking conversation on the evolving landscape of discipleship and evangelism in today’s church.

Dean shares powerful insights on:

  • Current trends in evangelicalism and how they’re reshaping church life
  • Contextualizing discipleship strategies to reach diverse and progressive communities
  • The critical role of Scripture in forming true disciples, not just church attendees
  • Ministering in a therapeutic culture—where emotional wellness and spiritual truth must meet
  • How to integrate discipleship with evangelism for deeper community engagement
  • Identifying new mission fields among those who align politically with Christianity but lack a personal walk with Jesus

Dean emphasizes that true discipleship is relational, rooted in Scripture, and responsive to the real-life challenges of those we serve. He also offers encouragement for small group leaders navigating this complex cultural moment—reminding us that faithful ministry begins with clarity, compassion, and connection.

Whether you’re leading a small group, shaping church strategy, or seeking to grow in your own walk with Christ, this episode will give you practical tools and renewed vision for making disciples who make disciples.

We’d love to hear from you!
