Alright Disciple-Makers, how do you gather a disciples together, and then get them alone into practicing solitude?  Sounds like oil and water doesn't it?  Brian and Cammie get into a simple exercise you can practice with your group, that disciples them into starting solitude as a personal practice from there.

Cammie tells all in what the space of solitude looks like for him.

Brian tells all in what the space of solitude looks like for him.

Solitude sounds like an Introverts' dream and an Extrovert's nightmare!  Not so the case.  Cammie and Brian get into what Extrovert's get out of their "people time" with just Jesus, and what Introverts get to take back to others from that time as well.

When you get a date night with someone you love, you're glad you did, the relationship is better because you did, but the only reason you did is because you carved out time for it to happen.  Solitude with Jesus is the same.  It doesn't just happen.  You don't have to over script a plan.  The heart will move and spontaneity will happen.  But you've got to be intentional about making the space, and brining a starting point.  

Why get away instead of getting more done?  Why was it that, "Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed," (Luke 5:16).  Came and Brian open a series of episodes on "Solitude," something that goes way beyond a 20 minute "quiet time," and set your soul up for knowing it's met with and heard from God.  

One good discipleship gathering deserves another; and another and another after that.  Cammie and Brian offer some nuts and bolts for multiplying what you've been doing, and also a vision for how multiplying can be an every-disciple thing (not just a "leadership" thing) that saturates whole cities with the gospel.

Cammie and Brian open the full fruit laden picture of what Mission and Discipleship can look like when you're Community really comes together in 12-24 months.

At 4-12 months, it should start feeling normal.  Discussion is open, meaningful relationship is felt, discipleship starts growing.  We're not necessarily fruit yet, but everyone has a part to play, and they're playing it. 

It's weird.  That's the honest truth about grouping a handful of people to start discipling each other.  Cammie and Brian have some tips to get you started on the right foot, and keep stepping through your first four months.
