Inviting Along
FREE
In this eBook Jason explains that making disciples is learning and living the ways of Jesus together as believers in the context of relationship, while inviting along with us those who have yet to believe. We invite disciples and yet-to-be disciples along with us to serve, to eat, to learn, and to live with us. The “together” element includes those who are continuing to follow Jesus, who have just begun to follow Jesus, and who have yet to follow Him. “Discipleship” is not a post-conversion process, but a through-conversion-and-beyond process. It’s a “both- and” reality. Making disciples encompasses all of the stages of belief: yet to believe, believing, and continuing to believe—because we never quit learning Jesus and the Good News of His Kingdom.

In this eBook you will see that we must shift our disciple-making efforts from “inviting to” toward “inviting along” if we hope to make disciples as Jesus intended us to make them. This ebook will encourage and equip you to begin to think and live with a different understanding of “discipleship” as we know it—making it less informational and more relational—by following Him as He makes us to become disciples of Jesus who make disciples with Him, and as we invite along those who have yet to believe into everyday family-type relationships with us.
