Disciples Making Disciples with Dr. John Tolson

In this episode, John shares six quick points on how to pick the person you are going to disciple! Following the example of Jesus and a helpful acronym, you'll be ready to start discipling the minute you finish this episode.

In this interview with a good friend and amazing guy, John Gillespie and John Tolson chat about disciple-making.

We all have 24 hours in the day – no matter how hard we work, how early you wake up, how productive you may be, it will not change the hours that you have access to in the day. How are you spending that time? When you stand before the Lord one day, and he asks you where your disciples are, will your answer be "I was just too busy, I didn't have time"? John gives several common answers to that question and helps to debunk and explain the responses.

In the final part of what a disciple truly is, John explains that disciple is never an end in itself. It's always a means to an end! So, what's the end? Are you living with the end in mind?

In part two of three, John continues to explain what it would mean for a person to be a committed disciple of Jesus Christ. One question to ponder would be: What are you modeling? Would people know how to follow Jesus by watching you follow Jesus?

In part one of a three-part series, John breaks down what a disciple would really look like. It might not be what you think. What bearing does this have on you and me personally in how God wants us to operate in terms of allowing Him to flow through us to make a difference in the lives of other people?

Unfortunately, asking the question "What is a disciple?" to Christians today will probably end up with a conglomeration of a lot of different definitions. There is no consistency with what it means because there is no consistency with doing it. What a disciple is will determine what a disciple does.

We were born to reproduce. We were born again to reproduce. Disciple-making is reproducing, and, in this episode, John explains what that really means as seen in the Scriptures. Are you engaged in spiritual reproduction?

All throughout Scripture, there are examples of those who chose not to pass on the mantle of leadership, or to disciple the next generation, and the repercussions that followed because of it. It's not just that we aren't following the direct command from Jesus to make disciples. It's also that it is hurting and costing us when we don't obey.
