About
the Forum

Last year revealed to us the true state of the church and the lives of many disciples of Jesus in North America.

We have learned:

  • We are too dependent on Sundays
  • We are not focused enough on making disciples
  • We are too enmeshed in politics
  • Far too many are experiencing regular anger
  • We need help discussing difficult cultural issues

We believe a focus on disciples and disciple making is the key.

 

What People Are Saying About Our Conferences

The National Discipleship Forum puts the critical conversation around discipleship at the forefront, and I’m so grateful to be able to learn alongside people deeply committed to what discipleship looks like in our day and time.
Drew Hyun
Hope Church, Emotionally Healthy Discipleship
The heartbeat of Jesus’ church is to make multiplying disciples. Sadly, our pulse has become faint. Yet with the coalition of disciple making ministries under the banner of National Disciple Making Forum, I have never been more hopeful that the patient (the church) can be revived.
Greg Ogden
Chairman of the Board
Global Discipleship Initiative (GDI)
As we each seek to develop a local discipleship culture, the National Disciple Making Forum provides so much Biblical inspiration and practical coaching from experienced practitioners! I love learning from what others are doing, and being fueled up with greater faith for what could be.
Alex Absalom
Dandelion Resourcing
Fresh perspectives, creative resources, and seasoned, godly people to glean from, make up this one-of-a-kind gathering for leaders, pastors and their teams – all with the simple aim of obeying Jesus to multiply disciple makers.
Dave Buehring
Founder & President of Lionshare
The National Disciple Making Forum is like a vaccine for the local church. It can help
protect a local church from theology that elevates anything above King Jesus and becoming like
Him in every way.
Justin Gravitt
Navigators Church Ministries
Discipleship.org has become a key, strategic rallying place for “discipleship first” leaders.  I always come away refreshed, challenged, encouraged and grateful for new friendships and allies in our common ministries of disciple making.  See you in Nashville!
Dr. Tony Twist
President & CEO
TCM International Institute
The National Disciple Making Forum is a unique event… bringing some of the best disciple-making ministries in the country together.  Deeply motivating, very inspirational, and offering world-class training… I’d highly recommend bringing your whole team to make a life-changing investment in them.
Dr. Dann Spader
Author: 4 Chair Discipling, Disciple-making Metrics, Founder: Sonlife, Concentricglobal.org
The Christian mandate is to make disciples who can reproduce themselves, and the need to be equipped has never been greater than it is right now. Discipleship.org has pulled together the best disciple-making ministries in the country to help you do just that. I am blessed to be a part of it.
Dr. Neil T. Anderson
Founder and President Emeritus of Freedom in Christ Ministries
Coming to the Forum not only energizes us to being disciples and making disciples of Jesus, but it also equips us to make the Great Commission a reality. The National Disciple Making Forum is head and shoulders the most valuable gathering that I know of.
