t is both the job and privilege of every Christian to be a disciple of Jesus. And part of that job is the call to disciple others. You can disciple someone without holding a Bible degree – Jesus did a good job of demonstrating that by the men he chose to be his disciples. You…
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.

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.

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…
