What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this powerful episode, Jake McCandless is joined by Darren Huckey, founder of Emet Torah Ministries and assistant to the rabbi at Shalom Macon, a Messianic synagogue in Georgia. Together, they unpack the historical and biblical context of discipleship during the time of Jesus. Darren reveals the 4 responsibilities of a disciple from a first-century Jewish perspective: Devotion to the rabbi Memorization of the rabbi’s teachings Imitation of the rabbi’s character Replication of the rabbi’s life and message These timeless principles give parents a tangible framework for discipling their children—not just in theory, but in lived-out faith. With humor, clarity, and depth, Darren shares his journey of discovering the Jewish roots of the faith and how that shifted everything in his own discipleship and parenting. This episode is a compelling reminder: we can only pass down the Christianity we know. And if we want our kids to stand firm, we must rediscover the ancient paths that shaped the earliest followers of Jesus.
