MRT Training

04: How do I encourage ownership and replicate discipleship in the members of my group?

Listen Later

In episode four, by reviewing the MRT Facilitator Handbook (http://gracechurchsc.org/MRThandbook), Chris Rivers and cohost Turner Vaughn address how leaders can encourage men to take ownership of the discipleship process happening within their groups. In addition to encouraging men to lead, it is equally necessary for leaders to evaluate themselves on a spectrum between over-committing or over delegating in leadership responsibilities. As always, it is important to remember that as men of God, feeling the weight of discipleship is a task to grow in whether you are a leader or group member involved in MRT.


HIGHLIGHTS:

  1. As a leader, it is important to recognize that every member of your group starts out in a different stage of owning responsibility. Chris and Turner emphasize the importance of setting the expectation of a member’s personal involvement within discipleship, as well as their learning to carry the weight of discipleship among peers within the MRT group. There are four stages to replicating leaders that explain practical ways to challenge your group members in owning the cause of MRT.
  2. While these steps to ownership are important, it is crucial as a leader to do the work of knowing the group, being intentional with each of them, and encouraging member’s in their leadership involvement regardless of the organizational wins or losses that may take place. Strategically assign responsibility in a way to not only grow the men around you but to put yourself in positions to be discipled in humility by those that you are leading.
