The Great Commission commands us to make disciples, not just converts, and our understanding of this distinction changes everything about how we approach Christian life and ministry.

• "Make disciples" is the command in the Great Commission, not "go" as is commonly misunderstood
• Discipleship and mentorship have similarities but aren't the same thing
• Many Christians mistake evangelism for complete discipleship
• True discipleship includes relationship, not just conversion
• Fear of inadequacy is the main reason people don't disciple others
• Seminary education isn't required to disciple someone else
• Jesus gave the Great Commission to ordinary fishermen, not theological experts
• Prayer is the first step in beginning a discipleship relationship
• Ask God to show you who He has intentionally placed in your life
• Discipleship can happen in groups, not just one-on-one relationships
• Both the discipler and disciple need humility in the relationship
• Many young believers hesitate to ask for discipleship for fear of being a burden
• Older believers are often willing to disciple but haven't been asked
• The church can help facilitate discipleship connections
