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.

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….
August + exhausted= Augausted Yes, that is the correct spelling. May was coined several years ago as Mayhem, and we all understand why, especially when you have kids in school. There are 10 end of year ______ parties (fill in the blank with sports team, school club, social club, community activity, home school group, church…
“Making disciples has never been enough for me.” I thought I’d misheard him. I must have misheard him. I greatly respected this disciple making leader more than twenty years my senior. How could he say disciple making wasn’t enough? After all disciple making is the final command of Jesus, the greatest opportunity we have to…
As a senior pastor of Real Life Ministries and a board member with the Relational Discipleship Network, I am passionate about the importance of a relational environment to making disciples of Jesus. Small Groups are one such relational environment that works well when trying to create a culture of disciple making in your church. Because…
You know what a coach is. You’ve seen them on TV. You’ve heard them interviewed at post-game press conferences. They break down their team’s performance, explain in-game decisions, and look ahead to the next game. Coaches lead. They build strategy, direct the execution of strategy, adjust strategy, and take the blame if that strategy leads…
