All Things Discipleship

In this episode of All Things Discipleship, host Sam Barber unpacks how the apostle Paul’s life reveals that genuine thanksgiving is far more than a once-a-year sentiment—it’s a daily discipleship practice shaped and sustained by prayer. Drawing from one of NDI’s core discipleship values, fervent prayer, Sam explores how consistent communion with God opens our hearts to the Holy Spirit’s transforming, gratitude-shaping work.

In this episode, Dr. Sam Barber sits down with Pastor Imir Gashi, who grew up in Kosovo amid war and displacement. Fleeing the chaos, Imir encountered the gospel through a smuggled New Testament, read in secret long before he met a missionary or entered a church. His journey reveals prevenient grace—the love of God reaching out before we ever reach back. Together, Sam and Imir reflect on how grace crosses borders, how faith takes root in exile, and how the gospel calls us to hope and transformation.
