Many believers have knowledge—but very little fruit. Jesus said the Father is glorified when we bear much fruit (John 15). 

In this first episode of the Disciple Makers Podcast, we talk about the two kinds of fruit the Bible points to: 

✅ Fruit of the Spirit (character & holiness) 

✅ Fruit of making disciples (obedience, multiplication, and seeing lives transformed) 

This is not a fancy studio—we’re on the road—but the message is real and practical. In this episode, Torben Søndergaard sits down with Olivier Buadès to share testimony, breakthrough, and simple steps you can start doing this week to become a fruitful disciple who glorifies the Father. 

We also take time to speak directly to pastors and leaders about moving from church activity to a real disciple-making culture—training believers to do the Word, not only hear it.

 In this episode: 

• Why Jesus doesn’t just want “fruit”—He wants much fruit 

• The two kinds of fruit many Christians confuse (or miss) 

• Why comparison kills fruitfulness (and what to do instead) 

• Olivier’s testimony: from addiction to repentance, freedom, and disciple-making 

• Practical steps to begin seeing fruit in everyday life 

• A message to pastors/leaders: a culture shift from teaching-only to training & obedience 

Key Scriptures: John 15 

• Galatians 5 

• Mark 4 

• John 20 

• Matthew 28 ⸻

Many churches today focus on meetings but often miss the life of discipleship that Jesus called us to. The Church Plus Vision is not about stopping Sunday gatherings but about adding the missing elements that bring transformation. 

By making room for testimonies, obedience to the Word, and practical disciple-making, the DNA of the church can change. In this lesson, you will discover how to practically add these elements and see your church (or fellowship) become a living, multiplying body that raises up disciples.

Christ Himself gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers—not as titles, but as gifts to equip His body. These gifts are not for a few “special” leaders but for the growth and unity of the whole church. 

In this lesson, you will discover the true purpose of the five-fold ministry, how it works in practice, and why every gift is needed for the church to become mature and fruitful.

We are born again as spiritual infants, but we should not remain that way. With the right food at the right time, we can grow quickly—from infants, to young disciples, to mature parents who raise up the next generation. In this lesson, you will discover the different spiritual levels, why it is important to recognize them, and how to help people grow from one stage to the next. This understanding is vital if we want to see true multiplication.

Jesus gave us the perfect model. He spent time with the Father, reached the one, mentored the three, discipled the twelve, empowered the 120, and touched the multitudes. 

If we leave out any part of His model, we will miss the fullness of what God wants to do through us.

The right seed in the right ground will not produce without doing the Word. Listening alone, without action, brings no transformation. It is the doing of the Word that makes the seed grow into what it was created to be. This is an important lesson for every pastor and leader: no one can do this alone, which is why God has given us the five-fold ministry.

 But not everyone is the right ground. In this lesson, you will discover: 

• Why the right ground is so important 

• How to find it or help your church become it 

• Why the seed cannot grow on its own—it needs the right ground to become what it was created to be

If you want to make disciples who multiply by making more disciples, you need the right seed. You begin with the seed and end up with many seeds—because the seed is the only thing that can multiply. As you will discover in Lesson 1, there is real power in the seed, and once you truly understand this, you will never be the same again.

Understanding the cross of Christ will is an eye-opener for many. You will see that when we talk about the cross, we often stop too early. Christ did not simply rise and then disappear; the cross is not only about the restoration of Christ, as He is the firstfruits. 

It also points to the restoration of all of us when He returns. I truly love the cross, and I know we all do. However, we must understand that the cross is behind us and points to the return of Christ and our resurrection, which lie ahead. 

May this understanding be significant in your eyes. Once you see it this way, you can never unsee it. This perspective will help you run the race with endurance and finish strong.
