This episode, recorded from our July Engage & Equip: LIVE, discussed the essential role of relationships in forming genuine disciples of Jesus, arguing that while preaching and programs are important, the primary way people grow spiritually is through deep, authentic connections with other believers who invest in their lives and walk alongside them in community. Pastor Adam taught church leaders to prioritize building "relational stickiness" - creating an environment where newcomers and members feel genuinely loved and connected to real people, not just attending services, because these relationships are what ultimately transform lives and sustain faith growth.

Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.
