The Dare to Multiply Podcast

In this Dare to Multiply Podcast episode, Cynthia interviews Deaf disciple-makers—offering a rare opportunity to “hear” directly from Deaf believers about how to effectively minister within their own community.
You’ll discover why translation alone isn’t enough, why the gospel is best understood in sign language through Deaf culture, and how Deaf leaders are uniquely equipped to reach others.
This conversation will challenge assumptions and reshape how we think about discipleship among the Deaf.
Listen, learn, and dare to multiply.

What if the most impressive thing you've ever built in ministry is actually the thing slowing multiplication down?
In this episode of Dare to Multiply, Cynthia Anderson unpacks one of the most important — and most overlooked — mindset shifts for church leaders and disciple-makers: why reproducibility matters more than performance, and what happens when we confuse the two.

Most churches say discipleship matters.So why do we so rarely see it multiply?
In this episode of Dare to Multiply, Cynthia Anderson explores a tension many pastors, practitioners, and Christian leaders feel—but don’t always name: discipleship is often emphasized, taught, and programmed… yet reproduction rarely follows.
This conversation isn’t about blame or better techniques. It’s about re‑examining what Jesus actually did—and what happens when discipleship shifts from information transfer to obedience‑based, life‑on‑life formation.

In today’s episode, Cynthia sits down with three seasoned multipliers who have witnessed extraordinary transformation inside America’s prisons. What began with simple obedience has led to inmates coming to faith in Christ, being baptized, forming churches behind bars—and continuing to multiply disciples even after release.
These practitioners share the key paradigm shifts that allowed multiplication to emerge in a context often approached with addition‑focused ministry. They reflect honestly on what had to change in mindset, leadership, and practice in order to see sustainable, Spirit‑led fruit.
This conversation offers rare, practical insight for anyone involved in prison ministry, disciple‑making, or movement leadership. You’ll hear powerful stories and hard‑won wisdom from those working on the front lines of what may be one of the most overlooked—and significant—moves of God in the United States today.
If you’ve ever wondered what disciple‑making looks like in places of confinement—or how multiplication can flourish where hope seems scarce—this episode will both challenge and encourage you.

What does trauma‑aware disciple making actually look like—and how can it still multiply?
In this episode of Dare to Multiply, Cynthia Anderson interviews a practitioner who walks closely with trauma survivors and has seen discipleship grow and multiply among them. Together they explore why safety, listening, and patience matter deeply when discipling those who carry trauma—and what this reveals about Jesus’ way of healing, obedience, and restoration.
You’ll hear why rushing to Scripture can hinder healing, how grief and brokenness are not barriers to obedience, and how God often uses people who are healing to bless and disciple others.

In this episode, we explore a critical but often overlooked difference at the heart of disciple‑making. Jesus didn’t command us to simply transfer information. In the Great Commission, He tells us to teach people to obey everything He commanded—not just to know it.
Using Matthew 28:20, a key Greek word study, and practical disciple‑making insight, we unpack why information‑based teaching often fails to produce transformation—and what it looks like to train people for obedience, practice, and replication.
This conversation is especially for pastors, leaders, missionaries, and disciple‑makers who sense that content alone isn’t producing the fruit we long to see.

What made the early church grow before there were buildings and programs? This episode explores Acts‑based insights on relational growth, obedience‑driven discipleship, and dependence on the Holy Spirit—and what that means for church leaders and movement practitioners today.
