Natives Follow Jesus

Daron Butler

The Natives Follow Jesus podcast recognizes that following Jesus as Native American / First Nation disciples is getting more and more challenging. You don’t have to follow Jesus all alone. Join me every week where you can find positive and encouraging content as you seek to follow Jesus as best as you can.
Daron Butler is the host of this weekly show where episodes drop every Monday morning at 6am. Daron is a full-blooded Navajo. His Navajo family are followers of Jesus spanning three generations. He has served as a pastor in the local church and serves as Hospice Chaplain in his community presently. He has over 30 years experience in serving many people groups.
Episode segments will highlight native cultural insights, devotions from the Bible, prayer for you as you follow Jesus among your own people and amid the cultures of the world, and spotlighting indigenous followers of Jesus who are seeking to be a mission force. There will be bonus episodes where Daron will interview other Natives who are following Jesus. You will gain perspective from their personal journey and you will find inspiration to keep following Jesus. Daron intends to offer you insight, inspiration, and community on your spiritual journey as you follow Jesus.
Why this podcast? I find that those who follow Jesus as a Native American or First Nations disciple span a wide spectrum of locations. Some are from the USA and others are from CANADA. You may be someone who is from the reservation (or reserve) or from the city. You might be full-blooded or part-blooded. You may have started following Jesus while immersed in your native culture or you found Jesus yet are curious about your native background. You may be someone who speaks your native language fluently or one who can’t say any words in the tongue of your ancestors. You may have many questions unanswered. Daron invites you to join him on your spiritual quest to follow Jesus.
He wants to connect with you, offer a prayer for you, and to suggest ways for you to keep following Jesus as a Native person.
So what are you waiting for? Engage with him on Instagram @nativesfollowjesus
Please tell your friends that the show is available to listen to for free in any app that supports podcasts.
Remember,
"Wherever you are, God sees you. You are NOT alone! Keep following Jesus!"

EPISODE 97: Healing the Inner Voice
SHOW NOTES: You have an inner voice that replays things that you have heard from childhood into adulthood. Sometimes those messages are debilitating and destructive. But there is hope. Jesus can change the way you think about yourself. Romans 12:2 says, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." Jesus wants you to transform the way you see yourself by seeing yourself from His eyes. The world may see you one way. But Jesus sees you in a different way. Jesus can change the way you see yourself. Listen now and discover how. LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: Sign up for monthly newsletter.

EPISODE 96: Stop Comparing Your Journey
SHOW NOTES: In this episode, we’re going to talk about something many of us struggle with: Comparison. Because sometimes the biggest reason we can’t see what God has placed in us is because we’re too busy looking at what He placed in somebody else. We’ll ask: “Whose Mirror Are You Looking Into?” Comparison steals joy and confidence. Jesus doesn’t call you to live somebody else’s life. Jesus simply says, “Follow Me.” LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: Sign up for monthly newsletter.

That feeling that says: “Who am I to do this?” “I’m not qualified.” “Somebody is going to find out that I don’t really belong here.” We’re going to talk about how God can use people who don’t feel qualified—and why your insecurity doesn’t have to have the final word.

EPISODE 92: Native Joy Is Resistance
SHOW NOTES: This episode is a celebration of Beyond the Stereotype series. The first six episodes dismantled false narratives. This episode tells the better story—not by ignoring pain, but by showing that pain never had the final word. Native joy is a testimony to God’s sustaining grace. This episode brings the series full circle. Episode 1 begins with “We’re Still Here.” Episode 7 tells you how you’re still here—not merely surviving, but laughing, worshiping, gathering around the table, and following Jesus. My hope is that it offers listeners a vision that reflects the heart of Natives Follow Jesus: our joy is not the absence of pain; it is the evidence of God’s faithfulness through every generation.

Episode 90: We Are Not All the Same Spiritually
SHOW NOTES: Native followers of Jesus often feel misunderstood by both Native and Christian communities. Some people assume all Native Americans practice the same spirituality. Others assume that becoming a Christian means leaving Native identity behind. Many Native followers of Jesus live in the tension between these assumptions. Some have been told they are “not Native anymore” because they follow Jesus. Others have felt misunderstood in churches that viewed Native culture with suspicion. This episode explores how following Jesus and honoring your Native identity are not mutually exclusive. It also invites listeners to distinguish between the person of Jesus and the painful ways Christianity has sometimes been used by people in positions of power.

For those who have experienced "Church Hurt," this video offers a good explanation that someone's hurtful actions do not represent Jesus. Thanks to @seansarantos for his succinct overview. If you associate Christianity with those painful experiences perpetrated by others, then you are mistaken. Their harmful actions do not reflect the character of Jesus.

Episode 88: No, We Don’t All Look the Same as Indigenous Peoples
SHOW NOTES: Native identity is diverse. One of the most persistent stereotypes about Native Americans is the belief that we all look alike, dress alike, think alike, and share the same culture. The truth is much richer. There are hundreds of tribes, hundreds of histories, and countless ways Native people express their identity. This episode challenges the idea that there is a single “Native look” and encourages listeners to embrace the beautiful diversity that exists within Indigenous communities. Most importantly, this episode reminds Native listeners that they do not need to perform their identity for anyone else’s approval.

Episode 87 More Than A Mascot--We are Made in God's Image
Native identity is sacred, not entertainment. This episode explores why Native mascots, costumes, and caricatures continue to affect Native people today. While many people say they intend to honor Native Americans through mascots, the reality is often very different. What is presented as appreciation frequently becomes a shallow stereotype that reduces living cultures to symbols, costumes, and mascots. This conversation is not about anger. It is about dignity. It is about seeing Native people as human beings created in God’s image rather than symbols used for entertainment. LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: Sign up for monthly newsletter.

Episode 79: The Secret Garden--A Call to Wise Stewardship of God’s Creation
SHOW NOTES: As Indigenous followers of Jesus, we understand that the earth is a sacred trust. God created the earth and placed humans in His creation. He asked the First Man and First Woman to take care of the Garden. Let’s explore what it means to wisely steward the care of God’s creation as a follower of Jesus. I do not want you to respond out of guilt, but to act out of a deep-seated love for the Creator of All Things and to care for His creation. Through a faith-based lens, you can move from simple environmentalism to Creation Care. God's Creation is not just a resource to exploit or neglect but a sacred gift that requires responsibility, humility, and love. LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: Sign up for monthly newsletter.
