Do you ever wonder how important relationships are in disciple making? In this conversation, Tony and Justin explore what it means to have life on life - just like Jesus did. This is really important if you have children in the home, or you are working with someone to follow Jesus. 

Takeaway: Effective disciple making must be life on life.

Action Step: Invite the person/s you disciple to do something socially with you next week.

Mark 3:14

Do you ever wonder who is the right person for you to disciple? Today on the podcast we talk about selection! Selection is the process of choosing the person that you'll walk alongside on their journey of faith. And, selection is important, because in the selection we expand the Kingdom of God! 

Takeaway: The goal is to build THE CHURCH, not your church. Selection is important!

Action Step: Find a FAT person

Faithful

Available

Teachable

FAT is still all we need to select.

Discipling - Mark Dever

Matthew 4:17

https://www.justingravitt.com/blog/fatorfaith

Some of us are quick to say we are super intentional, others will lean towards relational. The truth is you probably have a side of the scale that is easier for you than the other, and yet we know: Jesus was an expert at both. Today, we take a look at the disciple making scale, why it's important and encourage you to move more towards the other side.

Takeaway: Disciple makers work on the skill that’s on the opposite of the scale. Developing the balance creates an ideal environment in which disciples can grow. 

Action Step: Identify where you are light on the scale and one step in how to grow in it...

In this episode of the podcast we sit down to discuss disciple making in the community and the importance of not being insulated! 

Takeaway: Jesus’ last words means that ministry among non-Christians is essential not optional in the life of a disciple.

Action Step: Do something to strengthen an existing friendship with a skeptic/non-Christian or to build a new friendship.

Matthew 28:19-20, “All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. Therefore, GO, and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I’ve commanded you. And surely I’m with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the HS comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 

Tools are one of the most underrated parts of the disciple making process. When we are discipline well, we are passing on the tools we have so that the person we are pouring into can pour into someone else. 

TakeAway: Discipling well means using tools.

Action Step: Learn and share the Disciple Maker’s Loop with someone.

Show Notes:

John 17:14 & 17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17

The LOOP: Teach him what, Tell him why, show him how, get him started, keep him going, help him pass it on.

Sometimes, the invitation is the hardest part! This is definitely true when it comes to disciple making. Being clear about your intentions at the beginning of the relationship is crucial to growing an intentional disciple making relationship. 

In this episode of the podcast, we explore what it means to follow Jesus in His humanity. Follow Jesus in order to become just like Jesus, not just to grow. Allow your vision to grow as big as Jesus’. Not just disciple one or two, but disciple to build a movement that reaches the nations and changes the world.

Action Step: Share the importance of Jesus’ humanity with someone else this week.
