Another year of learning, sharing, and partnering with pastors and churches who are in the process of making disciple makers! This year I not only continued to blog, but I also began recording the fifth season of The Practitioners’ Podcast, a hyper-focused disciple-making podcast.
My goal is to help everyday Christ-followers and church leaders excel in disciple making. I hope that something I wrote or spoke about this year made a difference in your life and ministry. Thanks for continuing the journey with me!
If you like my blogs, you might also enjoy my books. My first book is The Bicycle Illustration which is designed to spur on disciples who are hesitant to disciple others. The Foundation of a Disciplemaking Culture is my second book and is designed to help leaders build a foundation that can support the weight of disciple making in a culture.
1. From Information to Disruption: Four Church Shifts for the New Era– Historically, cultural upheaval hasn’t crippled the Church — it’s catalyzed her. And right now, with distractions multiplying, disappointments deepening, and change accelerating, we’ve crossed a threshold into something new: the Shift Age. But here’s the truth—what worked before won’t carry us forward. The same assumptions, the same strategies, the same defaults won’t produce Kingdom fruit in this environment.
2. Discipleship So Easy Anyone Can Do It - Somewhere along the way, we turned disciple-making into a slogan — something tidy, predictable, and supposedly within everyone’s reach. But when you actually step into it, you find it’s nothing of the sort. Discipleship presses into the parts of us we’d rather avoid. It exposes gaps, surfaces resistance, and forces us to grow.
3. Why We Can't Agree on Disciple Making…And How to Fix It - Everyone says they believe in disciple-making, yet almost no one means the same thing when they say it. We talk past each other, build ministries on assumptions, and wonder why our efforts stall. The problem isn’t passion — it’s definition. Until we agree on what a disciple is and how one is formed, we’ll keep mistaking activity for obedience.
