In this episode of the Disciples Made Here podcast, Drew and Heather dive into the first movement of the Disciples Diamond - Identify. Building on last week's conversation with Hugh Halter and the woman at the well, this episode gets practical about what it actually looks like to pray and watch for what God is already doing in the ordinary spaces of your life.

From the frequency illusion to Easter egg hunts to a 12-year-old who set his own 9:38 alarm without being asked, Drew and Heather unpack why identifying isn't a new skill to learn — it's just learning to see what was already there. They walk through Matthew 9:35-38, introduce the Pray Watch List, and explain what green shoots actually are and why we're praying for them.
This isn't about adding something new to your schedule. It's about tuning your brain to the opportunities already in front of you; your Frank, your neighbor, the tall guy at the baseball field, the redhead at the coffee shop. They're already there. The Easter eggs are everywhere. We just have to look.

Reflection Questions
Who are your Franks? Take a few minutes to write down a friend, relative, acquaintance, neighbor, or kid that God has already placed in your path.
Where do you see the same people showing up in multiple spaces of your life? That overlap is worth paying attention to.
Have you set your 9:38 alarm yet? If not, stop and do it now. And when it goes off, pray Matthew 9:38 for the people already on your list.

In this episode of the Disciples Made Here podcast, Drew sits down with Hugh Halter — church planter, author, painter, pizza shop owner, and one of the most incarnationally faithful missionaries Drew knows. From inner city Portland to Denver to Alton, Illinois, Hugh has spent decades simply showing up where God sends him, picking up the manna, and letting the kingdom grow from there.

This conversation is a masterclass in what it actually looks like to live as an everyday missionary. Hugh unpacks the difference between missional and incarnational, why business is often not a means to mission but the mission itself, and how hospitality through food and presence has opened more doors to the gospel than any program ever could.
If you've ever felt the pressure to build the church, convert people, or grow the kingdom on your own timeline — Hugh has a word for you. Chill out. Jesus said he would build his church. Your job is to walk with your eyes open and ask God to put bread on the trail.
This one is for every son and daughter who wants to live sent — not just on Sundays, but wherever they live, work, and play.

Reflection Questions
Where in your normal life are you already present that could become a mission field if you showed up with your eyes open?
What would it look like to practice archaeology in your neighborhood, your workplace, or your community — digging around to find what's broken before crafting a response?
If you left your neighborhood tomorrow, would anyone notice? What would need to change for the answer to be yes?

In this episode of the Disciples Made Here podcast, Drew and Heather build on the foundation of identity and calling to introduce one of the most practical frameworks in the DMH toolbox — the prayer alarm — and what it actually looks like to live as a sent one in the ordinary spaces of your life.
From a youth group in 2008 to a T-ball field in El Dorado Hills to 100 baseball families showing up to Christmas Eve service, this episode is full of real stories of what happens when everyday followers of Jesus stop living on autopilot and start praying with their eyes open. Drew and Heather also introduce the concept of the flipped funnel — why Jesus didn't focus on the crowd, he focused on the one — and what it looks like for your church, your family, and your life to do the same.
This isn't about adding something new to your calendar. It's about seeing what God is already doing in the spaces you already occupy.

Reflection Questions
Who is your one right now — the person God keeps bringing to mind that you're praying for?
Have you set your 9:38 alarm yet? If not, pause and do it now.
Where in your life are you living on autopilot that could become a mission field — your gym, your kids' sports team, your workplace?
