by Ken Adams I talk a whole lot about being a disciple and building disciples. It’s my life’s mission! And it’s the main mission of Impact Discipleship Ministries (to inspire people and churches to be and build disciples of Jesus Christ.) In fact, I talk so much about “being and building” that I thought it…
As we prepare for our National Disciple Making Forum in a few days, I thought it might be helpful to go back to basics. The football coach, Vince Lombardi (whose trophy is awarded each year to the winning team of the Super Bowl), used to start the year, as he held up the pigskin, with…

You can actually summarize Jesus’ approach to making disciples in three steps. He brought them in. He built them up. He sent them out. With three simple steps implemented…
by Mark Gold I have read two authors in the last ten years who have both suggested that Christians have become so concerned for their “world” neighbors that they have forgotten their “next door” neighbors. Jesus invites us to begin the spread of the Gospel first in Jerusalem, our neighborhood and town. (Acts 1:8) At…
God has a heart for people in difficult situations. Some of the greatest warriors in the Bible were those who heard the cry of the oppressed and stood in the gap.

by Jim Putman In 2003 the Commission on Children at Risk published a study called “Hardwired to Connect: The New Scientific Case for Authoritative Communities.” The commission, made up of doctors, research scientists, and youth service professionals, described “recent scientific findings suggesting that children are biologically ‘hardwired’ for enduring attachments to other people and for…
