The process of disciple making that Jesus laid out in the Great Commission is linear. That is, the steps follow each other in a predictable sequence. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the…
“Hello, is this Donnie Hoover? You don’t know me, but a friend of yours from Clemson recommended that I call you. My name is Pat Batchelor.

The second phase in Jesus’ disciple-making process was to call people to a commitment and connect them with other believers. After his rejection in Nazareth, Jesus relocated his ministry base of operation to Capernaum, a thriving city on the north shore of Galilee.
