I’m writing from Haiti, a country I’ve been traveling to for the last 20 years. I originally met Pastor Wiljean Compere at the Billy Graham Conference for pastors and evangelists, Amsterdam 2000. In 2008, we started a residential disciple-making training program for young leaders called SOYM (the School Of Youth Ministry). This week, I have 13 young leaders…
It is exciting to start the new school year when all our school-aged kids move to the next grade. You remember how that was—you spent the summer telling everyone you were no longer a fifth grader but a sixth grader now. Advancing to a new grade brought excitement, and some anxiety. I had an interesting…
Most Christians are intimidated at the thought of personally making disciples. “I do not know enough,” they say. Or “I do not know how to do it” or “what if I am too controlling or I let someone down?” For some, they are paralyzed by the thought that they will damage people or the cause…
Do you want the ministry God has called you to lead to make and multiply disciples? When we study the life and ministry of Jesus, we see a clear, identifiable, intentional process He modeled for us in building a disciple-making movement. This process is something Sonlife trains in our Strategy Seminar, and it’s something you can…
Over the past several years, we have heard so much about self care. I have witnessed so many friends and colleagues either self-destruct or burnout. At the absolute worst, we all have heard, or witnessed, so many take their own lives. It is so tragic. I understand what it is like to feel like everything…
Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come. This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it … 1 Timothy 4:8-9 (NLT) Intentionality – discipleship requires us to have strategy, direction, and specific steps for those we are discipling. The…
As I write this, I am not feeling very strong physically. Allergies have reared up, and just trying to breathe is wearing me out. My physical maladies remind me that we are all flawed human beings…with limitations. Oh, how I hate to think I have limits. I grew up in the era of “I am…
King Saul’s choice. The king was at a crossroads. He had been given a direct command to wipe out the Amalekites. Nothing was to be left standing. But his men were clamoring to keep some of the choice cattle and livestock. Which would he choose? King Saul was one of the most promising men…
Technology and isolation Because of technology, we have so many opportunities to connect with people. And yet, people everywhere are feeling more disconnected and isolated than ever before. Ear buds let us listen to the exact songs or podcasts that we want to hear. Self-checkout lines at stores ensure that we don’t have to talk…

Gabe Lyons recently founded and serves as President of THINQ Media, a media and event organization who educates and equips thought leaders to create conversations that lead to wisdom. Before THINQ, Gabe was a co-founder of Catalyst…
What does it mean to be a disciple? The call of discipleship is more than programs and Bible study. In King Jesus and the Beauty of Obedience-Based Discipleship, David Young presents a bold call for obedience-based discipleship and argues that it alone is the proper response to the kingship of Jesus. Many have wrongly associated obedience…
“It’s not a big deal.” “I didn’t want to cause a problem.” “I didn’t know you wanted to know.” “I figured it’s just the way it is.” “I was going to say something but I didn’t get the chance.” “The last time I said something it didn’t go well.” “I know you’re really busy.” “It…
