Your disciple making needs 3 things: Process, Community, and Responsibility.

In this episode we discuss the need for a process of disciple making that creates environments of responsibility, rather than simply stopping at content retention.

Movement is simply more people learning to do simple affective habits. In the world of the head, heart, and hands of the multiplying church and her leaders, we will never move beyond the affective habit of seed sowing the gospel.
Start a habit. Track if that habit is affecting the change you expected. Adjust. Invite others to join you in that habit. Add time and you will affect movement.

In this podcast episode, Mark discusses the importance of tracking in order to assess progress towards the goal of reaching every place with the gospel. Tracking helps leaders assess how they are doing and develop a strategy for their context. We need to track the right things -- Mark mentions three key metrics he uses in his context: gospel shares, baptisms, and churches. These metrics help them determine if they are on target for the five parts of kingdom growth: entry, gospel, discipleship, church, and establishing leaders.
