Key Disciple Making Definitions + Free Discussion Guide

Dear Discipleship-first Friends,

Have you ever noticed how often the word disciple is used in churches today? It’s become a buzzword—but what does it actually mean? But even more importantly, what does it mean to make a disciple?

In our latest video, Dave Stovall (Video Director, Discipleship.org and Executive Producer, Renew University) introduces eight key definitions that bring clarity to the language of discipleship. These definitions—from disciple and disciple maker to disciple making culture and disciple making movement—will give leaders and everyday Christians the clarity and confidence to know what we are called to do, as disciples of Jesus.

“We are not called just to be people who follow Jesus. We’re called to be people who turn around and teach others how to do that. We’re all called to make disciples—no excuses and no exceptions.” – Dave Stovall

If you’ve ever asked yourself, Am I really making disciples, or just making myself busier with church stuff?… this video is for you.

Disciple making isn’t complicated—it’s simply following Jesus, being changed by Jesus, and joining in the mission of Jesus by helping others do the same. With clear definitions, we can end the confusion and start building cultures within our churches where disciple making is the norm.

For King Jesus,
