#24 How to Be a Disciple (Not Just a Churchgoer)
About this episode
In this raw and challenging episode on The Unfiltered Faith Podcast, Austin pulls back the curtain on what it really means to follow Jesus in today’s culture.
✅ We talk about how easy it is to fall into the Churchgoer Trap—where you might know all the right Christian words, show up every Sunday, and still miss the heart of discipleship.
✅ We unpack what a real disciple is—not based on cultural Christianity, but on the actual words of Jesus.
✅ And we wrestle with the cost of following Him. Spoiler alert: It’s not cheap, but it’s absolutely worth it.
Then we get practical: 👉 What does it look like to actually live this out in 2025? 👉 How do you follow Jesus with your phone in one hand, pressure from culture in the other, and still keep your eyes on the cross?
Whether you’re new to faith, deconstructing and rebuilding, or just tired of surface-level Christianity—this one’s for you.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- What separates a churchgoer from a true disciple
- The 4 common traps of cultural Christianity
- What Jesus actually said about following Him
- Why the cost of discipleship is good news
- 7 marks of a modern-day disciple in 2025
- A powerful call to action you can live out this week
