Thom Rainer spoke at the Nashville City Tour a few weeks ago on the State of the Evangelical Church in America. This talk was one of a dozen recordings from the event that we want to give you access to. If you would like to watch Thom’s talk or any of the other eleven videos…
How do you make disciples? I love asking pastors that question. Not long ago, I sat around a conference table with several pastors, professors, and denominational leaders. We were all there to talk about discipleship. When the question was asked about how disciples are made, the thoughts were pretty vague and varied. Most said that…

For eighteen years Todd Wilson served as the co-founder and CEO of the Exponential Network, which has held the largest gatherings of Church Plant leaders on the planet in Orlando every spring. Over time Todd and the Exponential team became convinced that Disciple Making must be at the core of church planting. Todd is now…
The church with a severe case of “ethnicitus” I’ll never forget sitting behind my desk staring at the report in front of me. It was my first time to be a lead pastor. I had come to this church from a growing suburban church in Texas that had plenty of leaders and resources, and now I…
Cultivating relationships with unchurched people is paramount in our calling to be disciples that make disciples. For my wife and me, the task of engaging relationally with unchurched people can at times seem daunting, draining, and discouraging. At these times, we often reflect on what it was like to be unchurched ourselves, and the profound impact…
“What if you could impact the world without traveling 100 miles from your town? Jesus did that.” How did Jesus do that? You have to have a very clear strategy of making disciples who make disciples. We learn that strategy from Jesus. Jesus moved people from lost to believer to worker to multiplying disciple who make…
We regularly publish our Top 10 Trends List to share with other leaders what we are seeing in terms of disciple-making trends. From our front-row seat we witness what is happening with disciple making in North America and beyond. We then pool insights from all the leaders, practitioners, and organizations we can find and compile…
This national study was completed by a partnership between Discipleship.org and Exponential. The study was designed to identify the disciple making culture of a church – including the level of churches that reproduce disciples in their culture (level 4) and the percentage of churches that multiply disciples in their culture (Level 5) in the United…
My good brother and mentor, B.J. Weber, led New York Fellowship for over 40 years, discipling men from all walks of life – from Wall Street barons to homeless people barely surviving. He was always saying, “We as the church, Christ’s body in the world, have to be an attraction for the gospel before promoting the…
A number of years ago Willow Creek posted the results of their massive internal research – the Reveal study. It showed that the approach that had been the panacea of approaches to church – the program-based attractional church model, was severely flawed. The promise was that building attractive programs to draw people to attending the…
Most church staff have been trained for ministry with a single formula that is guaranteed to create pain and ultimately fail. My training included a process of assured destruction only to see it play out. Then I’d rinse and repeat it over and over again. What is this magic formula? Just this: When we have…
If I invite someone over to my house they typically come to the front door. That door represents the entry way into my home – the primary path that a first-time visitor will usually take. In the same way that homes need entry ways, churches need “doors.” Churches need places where new people can enter….
