Jeremy talks to Russ, another dedicated Cincinnati disciple-maker about Russ' approach to making discipleship accessible.

Russ gives a live example of how conversations go with the people he's discipling, gives a reminder about how we're to be amongst the lost (not just our Christian friends), how to discern if things are becoming idols, and the power of communities in multiplying disciples.
