The Disciple Maker‘s Podcast

In this episode Bobby Harrington hosts Dr. Marcus De Carvalho, a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in addiction, to discuss his new book Untangling Addiction. They explain how addiction rewires the brain—through dopamine, neuroplasticity, and genetics—and how substances and behaviors like opioids and pornography hijack survival pathways.

Dr. Carvalho shares practical recovery approaches rooted in discipleship: mindfulness (acceptance and commitment), value-based spiritual disciplines, and the power of transparent, supportive relationships (Celebrate Recovery/12-step models). Resources mentioned include UntangleAddiction.com, HealthyMindMD.com, and Discipleship.org.

Robby Gallety challenges listeners to put Jesus' disciple-making mandate into practice, arguing believers cannot expect the blessings of Jesus' ministry while ignoring his method.

He outlines two core problems—many churchgoers don't know the Great Commission and don't know where to begin—and presents a practical model rooted in Scripture: worship, life groups, D‑groups, and mission. Research on Bible engagement and group discipleship supports the approach.

The episode ends with a call to equip everyday believers to make disciples who make disciples, following Jesus' inspired method and empowering lasting spiritual growth.

DA Horton argues that discipleship is essential to the life of a local church while reminding listeners that Jesus — not pastors — ultimately builds the church, releasing leaders from performance pressure.

He lays out a practical three-level strategy (inner circle, intermediate council, interdependent congregation), emphasizes balancing social and spiritual obedience, and offers concrete steps to train and multiply leaders.

Ariyana Rimson teaches that disciple making is Christ’s command beginning with submission to God (James 4:7). She urges executing Scripture—not personal opinion—resisting the enemy, and modeling a Christ-following life through teaching, Scripture-based advice, and accountability. Using her S.U.B.M.I.T. framework (Submit, Understand, Boldness, Mutual submission, Invitation, Temptation/pride), she shows how humility, community, and gospel-centered relationships transform lives, especially in her work with women in recovery.
