​​In this episode, Brian and Cory kick off the deep dive into the six core elements of Movement DNA (MDNA), starting with the foundational confession: Jesus is Lord. They explore how this worldview reshapes every part of life and leadership, from personal rhythms of repentance to practical team practices and missional embodiment.

​​In this episode, Brian and Cory discuss the evolution of the Kansas City Underground, focusing on the six elements of movement DNA (mDNA) that were developed by Alan Hirsch. The mDNA has shaped and guided who we are as a network, though it’s not something we always talk about. We explore the importance of paradigm shifts, the role of community, and the necessity of embodying the principles of disciple-making in everyday life. We take time to give you a high level introduction of (1) Jesus as Lord, (2) the missional incarnational impulse, (3) disciple-making ecosystems, (4) liminality and communitas (5) apostolic environments and (6) the need for organic systems that allow for growth and multiplication within the church.

In the final episode of this nine-part paradigm shift series, Brian and Cory explore one of the most foundational—and often most misunderstood—concepts in disciple-making movements: reimagining church as extended spiritual family. Rather than starting with forms, buildings, or programs, they challenge us to begin with identity—who we are as the people of God—and to build spiritual families that multiply and transform neighborhoods and networks.

In this episode of the KC Underground Podcast, Corey and Brian explore the eighth paradigm shift in disciple-making: moving from a mindset of addition to one of multiplication. They unpack what it means to build ecosystems and movements that embrace exponential growth, where everyday people are empowered, rapidly mobilized, and sent out to make disciples who make disciples.
