In this episode of NCC Unplugged, Joshua and Allison dive into the second installment of our discipleship series by exploring a surprising fact: the word Christian only appears three times in the New Testament, while disciple shows up over 250 times. What does that tell us about how Jesus wants us to identify ourselves—and live?

They unpack:

  • The historical difference between the words “Christian” and “disciple”

  • What it meant to follow a rabbi in the first century

  • How the early church operated—and how it evolved into what we know today

  • Whether "bigger church" means "better church"

  • How reaching one person at a time may be God's original plan for spreading the Gospel

This is an eye-opening, encouraging, and practical conversation for anyone who wants to take the next step in their faith or help someone else do the same.

Next episode sneak peek: We’ll explore what it actually looks like to reach your one.
