I listen to quite a few podcasts, and one of my favorites is a podcast called Church Leadership Podcast with Mark Gainey and Andy Frazier. You should check it out sometime. The other day while running, I was listening to Mark and Andy interview a man named Robert Coleman, the author of The Master Plan of…
Obeying Jesus means living a holy life. The term holiness has fallen on hard times these days. Just try avoiding something that might be morally questionable and wait for it. People will say you have a “holier than thou” attitude or will call you a “holy roller.” The word “holy” itself is often misunderstood. What does it…
I recently spent a week in San Diego, where we partnered with Exponential (church multiplication network) in training church planters and denominational leaders. My friend Ralph Moore shared some really helpful material on disciple making, and I want to share it with you this week. Ralph is the founder of the Hope Chapel movement, which…
Discipleship-First Friends, Thanksgiving is an important day on many levels. We are committed to helping you be a disciple who makes disciples, so we know it’s important to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thess. 5:18). A thankful disposition is fundamentally important as a spiritual…
I had another “first” a few weeks ago. I was asked to lead a short Bible study in a furniture store where an elder in our church is employed. It was an awesome time sharing God’s Word with a dozen people in the market place. The Bible study took place early on a Friday morning…
Discipleship-First Friends, The church is getting an urgent wakeup call. As a result, we need revival by the Spirit in Jesus-style disciple making. Nothing else will suffice, because more and more the culture at large is discipling Christians in America away from Jesus. The question is not, “Are we Christians being discipled? The question is,…
You get three. What are the three “primary colors” of disciple making? The human eye can distinguish over 7 million colors. That’s a lot of colors! I’ve been thinking lately that colors are like disciple making practices. There are lots and lots of things you could do to help a disciple grow, but which ones…
How do you get a bunch of people to share the same passion? How do you get a group of people fired up at the same time for the same purpose? How do you ignite passion that burns like a wild fire and moves a mission forward? We’ve all been in groups of people that…
Did you know that for over two hundred years people believed that California was an island? It happened innocently enough in 1539 when explorer Hernan Cortez was sent from Spain to search for an idyllic island in the area. After a long journey, supplies ran low, so he made an educated guess. Having sailed up…
There is nothing more devastating than a group of people who have lost their passion for the mission. Being on a team that has lost the will to win is miserable. Being in an army that has quit fighting is horrible. Being in a business that no longer cares if it succeeds or fails is…
If you have read my books or posts or listened to my sermons, there should be no doubt in your mind that I believe discipleship begins with and is sustained by relationship. However, disciple makers also must be ready to give an answer, defend the faith, and teach their disciples the truth of the Bible…
Congratulations! You want to disciple someone. There is no greater ministry work than helping another to trust and follow Jesus. If you read Titus 2, you’ll discover all the ways you can teach another woman to love the Lord. Assisting the Lord to grow another woman in faith is the most rewarding ministry of all….
