About this listen

Jesus commanded His followers in Matthew 28 to make disciples, but how do we actually live this out? Many Christians encounter discipleship in Scripture and sermons yet struggle to know where to start. The Downline Podcast, hosted by Dr. Jamie Trussell, brings you authentic conversations about gospel-driven discipleship that will transform how you follow Jesus and pour into others. As an extension of Downline Ministries, this weekly podcast equips everyday believers to embrace the life-changing work of making disciples who make disciples.

  • Wisdom Doesn't Come Passively (Feat. Courtney Doctor)
    Apr 13 2026

    Wisdom isn't passive, and it isn't a formula. Courtney Doctor joins Jamie to explore what Proverbs actually calls us to; a grace-driven, active pursuit of God's ways in God's world. They discuss the book's structure, the two women at the heart of it, the role of trust, and how to practically use Proverbs in discipleship.
