What if traditional discipleship is falling short of preparing men for impactful ministry roles? Join us from Medellin, Colombia, as we uncover the critical differences between discipleship and training, particularly in men’s ministry. In this thought-provoking episode, we challenge the conventional wisdom that basic doctrinal teachings are enough. We introduce the concept of "withness," a life-on-life approach coined by Peter Kralman, which emphasizes the importance of being present and fully invested in the lives of those we train. This approach goes beyond the classroom, suggesting that the true essence of training is more caught than taught.

Our discussion also explores the necessity of flexibility and adaptability in training programs. We stress that each individual's journey is unique and may lead them to unexpected yet fulfilling paths, such as full-time ministry, missionary work, or impactful layman roles. The focus should always be on thorough preparation rather than controlling their destiny. Tune in to gain practical insights and thoughtful advice for mentoring others, and discover how to effectively equip and support the next generation of leaders in your ministry.
