Bodies. Bucks. Buildings. Baptisms. Budgets. Most churches track all the Bs. But what if those are the wrong metrics entirely? Good-hearted people build traditional churches. And we can do better. #DiscipleMaking #ChurchLeaders #Discipleship #ChurchGrowth #Faith

When Jesus returns, what will matter most? Paul looked at the Thessalonians and said — you are our hope, our joy, and our crown. Not programs. Not numbers. People. Genuine disciples who walk with Jesus. That's what we're building toward. #DiscipleMaking #Faith #Discipleship

He started in a small group. Former pro baseball player. Came to church. Joined a small group. Came on staff. Joined the executive team. Now he's executive pastor. Jim Putman didn't hire a leadership team. He grew one. That's disciple making. #DiscipleMaking #ChurchLeaders

Pruning isn't cutting what's dead. It's cutting what's bearing some fruit so you can bear even more. Ministry, time, calendar — all of it has to be evaluated against the main mission of making disciples. #DiscipleMaking #Ministry

The main quest is clear. Be a disciple who makes disciples. But the Christian world is full of good side quests that quietly pull us off mission. You can spend all your time and energy on really good things and still miss what God actually called you to do. #DiscipleMaking

The first disciple maker in most of our lives? Our mothers. Happy Mother's Day to every mom faithfully pointing her family to Jesus — one conversation, one prayer, one moment at a time. That's disciple making. #DiscipleMaking #MothersDay #Faith #Discipleship

"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." — Jesus (John 13:35) Disciple making starts with love.

"Faithfulness is rewarded. Don't get swept up in the hype. Don't overlook what has been put right in front of you. Be faithful in the little things." — Doug Holliday The mission isn't always loud. Sometimes it's just showing up. #DiscipleMaking

Biblical community isn't optional. If Scripture says it's essential for spiritual growth and maturity — and it is — you don't get to opt out just because it's inconvenient. Small groups aren't a program. They'll change your marriage, your kids, and who you are.

"If you don't want to become a disciple making church, I'll graciously resign." "I'd rather go work at UPS and make disciples than keep doing church in disobedience." Once you see it, you can't unsee it. That's what real conviction looks like.

Most of us scroll past the moment instead of stepping into it. Jesus started a conversation with a stranger that changed her life forever. Every conversation has that potential. Here's how to move from no conversation to casual conversation 👇 discipleship.org/blog/moving-fr…

He wanted the benefits of a relationship with God without surrendering his heart to God. "It just doesn't work that way." Made millions. Built companies. And finally said — I'm ready. That's what real surrender looks like. #DiscipleMaking #Faith #Surrender #Gospel

"Making disciples of Jesus is the overflow of the delight in being disciples of Jesus.” — David Platt

Jesus had an intentional method and model of disciple making. Are we following His lead, or are we separating the methods of Jesus from the teachings of Jesus and expecting the results of Jesus? In this session, understand the keys to the Great Commission: youtube.com/watch?v=CQsGku…

"Discipleship means allegiance to the suffering Christ, and it is therefore not at all surprising that Christians should be called upon to suffer.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer

98% of Christians will die without ever sharing the gospel outside their immediate family. Not overseeding. Dying with pockets full of seed. Up the dial on prayer. Up the dial on seed sowing. Jesus promises a harvest. Luke 10 is clear. Are we throwing seeds?
