Hi, I'm Loren Hicks
I am a follower of Jesus, a husband, a father, a friend, a disciple-maker, and for the past 30 years, a pastor. I'm passionate about helping people become fully devoted followers of Jesus. My goal is not only to make disciples but to help people become disciple-makers. The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast was launched out of a growing passion that we must do more to help people to develop a Biblical worldview. I hope to inspire others to join me on this journey as we get back to Jesus' original commission - "Go and make disciples." |
ABOUT THE PODCAST The 5 Minute Discipleship daily podcast exists to inspire believers who want to deepen their faith and grow closer to God. Each day I share short episodes that are easy to follow and apply to your life. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Jesus - Matthew 28:19-20) |
