If I have heard it once, I have heard it a hundred times: “We need more leaders!” This is the cry I hear from pastors all the time. Almost every pastor I know is looking for more leaders. The problem is: they are looking in the wrong place. Most pastors want leaders to transfer from…
Jesus modeled the importance of relationship in the way He taught His disciples: He followed the Deuteronomy 6:7 exhortation. God’s commands were on His heart and He talked about them as He spent time with the disciples. He talked about the truth when they ate and when they went to bed. Jesus was with His…
After spending a week of training pastors and leaders in disciple making, I can tell you that the Church in the Dominican Republic is hungry to make disciples.

A motive is “a reason for doing something.” Notice it says a reason, not the reason. We, humans, are complicated rascals. We almost always act with multiple motives. Even when we just want to pass along information, our words can give away our feelings. In addition to our words, our body language, voice intonation, and…
