What would it look like to make disciple-making common again?
In this episode of Starfish and the Church, Rob sits down with Molly Soderstrom, leader of The Brook, a growing grassroots disciple-making movement among young professionals in Denver.
The Brook has grown into a network of around 55 simple churches, but the story begins much smaller: a dance teacher who noticed Molly, shared Jesus with her, and modeled the simple idea that what we receive from Jesus is meant to be passed on.
Molly shares how following the breadcrumbs of calling led her from campus ministry into the loneliness and spiritual curiosity of Denver’s young professionals. They talk about hospitality as mission, why happy hours and Instagram can become unlikely doorways into spiritual family, the power of simple and reproducible disciple-making practices, and what happens when ordinary people hear someone say, “I see this in you.”
They also wrestle with a timely question: If we are praying for revival, are we prepared to disciple the people who respond?
This is a hopeful conversation about calling, hospitality, multiplication, and recovering disciple-making as an ordinary way of life.
